·         Direct Display of Objects When Selected: When you set this indicator, an object selected in the browser (such as business entity 0001/1) is not only displayed in the tree structure but also directly in the detail view.

·         Use Standard Icons: If you want to use the standard icons  and  instead of the icons assigned in Customizing, select this indicator.

General Tab

Settings for the error list and for the navigation area:

·         Hide Navigation Area: Set this indicator if you want the navigation area for all master data dialogs to be turned off as a default. You can still display the navigation area again in each master data dialog by choosing  with the quick info text Navigation Area On/Off (F9).

·         Error List: Specify here whether the error list should appear in a modeless window. Furthermore, you can specify here that errors are displayed in a tree structure. However, this setting can only be made for a modeless window.

 

Background Picture

If you selected Display Background Picture for the initial screen, you can make additional settings for the background picture. Right-click the background picture and choose Settings. Ensure that the Use System Settings indicator is not selected.

Several background pictures and a default initial screen are available. You can also load one of your own pictures from the SAP Web Repository (transaction SMW0) into the system for use as a background picture. For this, choose Specify Own Graphic for the background picture. The Own Background Graphic field can then take the object ID of the picture.

You can determine the type of display of the selected picture (such as normal or stretched) by making an entry in the Display Mode field.
