You can work with lists in the following ways:

• Edit objects

  Specific functions are available to you for creating and editing objects.

• Updating lists

  The system displays the time of the last update. You can update the list to bring it up to the current data level.

• Set the Scope of Data

  You can adapt the selection of objects using the following functions on your current task list:

  Function	Description
  View Settings	Edit these settings to change the default view. If you want to be able to use the data you have selected multiple times, save the changed view under a suitable name.
  Filter	The filter settings restrict the data in the list to specific areas, for example, to a time period.

• Prepare lists

  To integrate lists into subsequent processes, you can export using a spreadsheet file (Microsoft Excel). This is particularly helpful for checking or reusing comprehensive lists.

  The system transfers all columns headers and the content of the table fields into the file. In addition to this, you can edit this file locally, for example, to send or to add a comment.

• Define and Edit Requests

  A request defines the content of a list. The object type gets the underlying information for this. You can also specify certain data as selection criteria for the object. This data ensures that the list only contains objects with the data you want.

  • You can copy and personalize selected data from the selection criteria. For more information, see Defining a New Request and Changing a Request.

  • Additional settings for the view and layout of lists support your particular way of working. For further information, see Personalizing Lists.
