Overviews in the Information System 

Use

Overviews in the Information System give you an overview of single or multiple objects you select for a specific project. The system creates a structure overview from the values you maintain in the selection screen. You can go to the individual overviews and detail screens from the structure overview. The following graphic shows you how to navigate between the individual overviews:

Features

The following overviews are available:

Structure Overview

The structure overview displays all selected object types, for example, WBS elements and activities, in your hierarchical structure.

You can also use the project structure overview (transaction code CN41N), which is a user-friendly version of the structure overview. Only use this, however, if you do not require the full functional scope of the structure overview (transaction code CN41).
