Saving Display Variants 

Prerequisites

The list provides the display variants that you can save.

Procedure

  1. To save a display variant:

    2. Choose the dropdown arrow to the right of this icon: ® Save display variant.

    If you are working with the full-screen mode, choose or Settings ® Display variant ® Save.

  2. The following dialog box appears:

    3. Enter a name and description for your display variant.

    The name for your display variant must not start with a number, because this type of name is reserved for the standard display variants in the standard system.

    In general, display variants are available for all users as client-specific standard display variants.

    In lists in which you can save display variants as user-specific, you can select User-specific.

    User-specific display variants must begin with a letter (A-Z).

    Non-user-specific display variants (client-specific standard display variants) must begin with "/".

  3. If you have entered sort criteria, subtotals criteria, or filter conditions, you can save the display variant with these criteria by selecting the criteria. If you do not want to save the sort, subtotals, or filter criteria with the variant, deselect the appropriate checkboxes in the field Subojects.
  4. If you have created subtotals, and want to save them, you can specify the summation level to which the list should be broken down when calling the variant. With the entry 0, all nontotals rows are displayed in addition to the totals rows and subtotals rows.
  5. To save the display variant with the criteria entered, choose Save.

If a display variant with the same name already exists, the system informs you accordingly. You can either overwrite the existing variant (Continue) or enter another name (New entry).
