Layout Tab Page 

Use

On this tab page, you specify the layout settings for an appraisal template.

The tab page is only shown when you edit an appraisal template.

  

Structure

The tab page is divided into the following group boxes:

·         Numbering
In this group box, you specify whether, and in which manner, the appraisal elements are to be numbered in the appraisal template.
This setting is valid for the entire template. That is, if you choose a number for one appraisal element, all existing appraisal elements in the appraisal template are numbered. You cannot exclude individual appraisal elements from the numbering.

·         Header
In this group box, you make a negative selection. You specify whether certain header data for the appraisal template is not to be displayed in the appraisal document.

·         Further
This group box enables you to make specific settings for the appraisal template. You can create and use independent implementations for the BAdIs delivered by SAP as standard:

In the Additional Header Data field, you can specify whether data on the organizational assignment of a role is to be displayed in the appraisal document. In the SAP standard system, the relevant BAdIs are available for the Appraiser, Appraisee, Part Appraiser, and Further Appraiser roles.

You can replace texts by using placeholders in the Text Replacement field. You can use the Names of Appraisers and Appraisees BAdI in the SAP standard to define that the names of (part)appraisers and appraisees are to be determined using the placeholders &1 and &2 and be displayed in the appraisal document.

You can specify the type of display using the Print Layout and Web Layout fields. If you use a BAdI implementation, you can also save customer-specific layouts.

In the Offline Layout field, you can use input help to select a BAdI implementation that enables you to edit appraisal documents offline. As soon as a new online connection is established, the data in the system is synchronized.
The SAP standard implementation is used automatically, if:

o        no customer-defined implementation has been created.

o        the availability of the standard implementation has been defined in the appraisal catalog.

·         Relationships
In this group box, you can insert links, thereby enabling different types of documents to be accessed from the appraisal document.
The SAP standard system includes example links for calling the Balanced Scorecard or an employee’s qualifications profile, for example.
When you select an entry from input help, the entry is transferred to the field and an information button is displayed that you can use to display additional information about the relevant link.
