SEN - Placeholder for a Step

[former_member809051]

Hello SAP Community!

Is it possible to make a placeholder for a step in simulation?

I tried to write like this "$#{tourstop:.caption}"

But it returned the name (caption) of a project

The property is the caption of a Take, but I've not found a way to insert properties from a specific step or macro via a placeholder (other than the usual Object Name, Object Image, etc.). I don't think the functionality exists. Although it would occasionally be useful...

Thank you Dirk. I get it.

Hi Sergey,

Sorry, not sure of the attribute name that that information is stored in. Maybe Dirk or Anton will know the name of the attribute, which is what you would need to display that detail.

Hi Sergey,

I'm not sure how you plan to use a Placeholder to target a specific step in a Simulation but the general syntax of Simulation steps is the URL of the Simulation mode followed by # and then a step number. For example:

https://....enable-now.cloud.sap/wa/.../~tag/published/index.html?show=project!PR_25EE00AF3C29E38B:d...

In the example above, PR_25EE00AF3C29E38B is the ID of the Simulation that is running in Demo mode and #5 signifies the 5th step. This URL would take you straight to step 5 of the corresponding Simulation.

How do you want to use Placeholders?

Hello Shane

I have a template that I use in simulation projects for a certain chapter. Here you can see a structure. Each chapter begins from a certain step. This template I use for every simulation. So, I want to insert a placeholder in shape (1), which takes the name of a Step (2). Finally, I can see that name as a heading on a tamplate (3)

Now, I have to write it by myself. But with a placeholder it could be done automatically
