Service Information Text Strings

Text strings have been introduced in the Service Information procedures in an effort to increase consistent and common global phrases. Text strings are common, predefined, fixed phrases used in service information.

Text Strings - Sentence Format

Text string sentences are used when frequently used procedure steps require additional explanation. They are complete sentences that contain the necessary elements to describe an action or a fact.

Text Strings - Chain Format
