Using the Text Library

E-Com is built with a table of pre-defined blocks of text called Text Libraries.  They make it easier to enter frequently needed text blocks into any field on any form.

All forms have an ÔInsert TextÕ button on the Form Navigation Bar that can be used to copy any block of text from the library into your form.  Other specialized libraries are also available via specific form buttons, including: ÔSet Goal,Õ ÔInsert Test,Õ and ÔStandards.Õ 

All Text Library entries can be edited by your E-Com system administrators and new library entries can easily be added.

To insert an entry from the text library into your form, click the Insert Text button from the Form Navigation Bar.

This screen will be displayed, allowing you to enter your search criteria.

Click the Continue button when you are finished entering search criteria.

A list of matching text library entries will be displayed.

Click the Copy button next to the desired text entry. The text will be copied to the clipboard and you will be returned to your original form.

Put your cursor in the field where you want the text inserted and choose ÔPasteÕ from the edit menu or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-V.

Your selected text will be pasted into the field.
