Make Selection 

Prerequisites

The object selection is switched on.

If you start InfoSet Query from the SAP Easy Access menu, an appropriate InfoSet is used automatically in the systems of several HR components (for example, the system for Personnel Administration). Provided that you are assigned to the appropriate user group, you can start creating queries immediately. You can save the created queries, but you cannot transport them using the Workbench Organizer.

If you want to start InfoSet Query in this way, you must be assigned to the appropriate user group. You can set up this assignment in SAP Query (see Functions for Managing User Groups).

Procedure

Before working with InfoSet Query for the first time, read the Overview of Functions to get a basic idea of how InfoSet Query is used.

  1. Start InfoSet Query as described in the section Starting InfoSet Query.

This brings you to the InfoSet Query screen.

If you are assigned to a role that supports Reporting with InfoSet Query, and you have started InfoSet Query from the role menu, InfoSet Query starts with an InfoSet, and a query. This means, you can start to determine a new query or to execute or edit the loaded query straight away.

If you are not assigned to a role and have started InfoSet Query from SAP Query or from a menu, you have the following options:
  1. Expand the field groups you want in the overview tree.
  2. Put a tick in the Selection column, use drag & drop or choose the context menu to select one or more fields as selection fields.

    3. The system transfers the selection fields to the list of selection fields on the right of the screen. The corresponding value field can be maintained.

  3. In the Value field, enter selection values for the selection field you have chosen. If necessary, use input help for selecting selection values.

    4. The value types (numeric, alphanumeric, date) that you can enter for the selection fields depend on the type of selection field.

  4. In the Options field, choose selection options (such as < or =).
  5. Choose a reporting period.
  6. Choose Hit list.

Result

In the Hit list field, the system displays the number of objects that meet your selection criteria.
