Screen Layout

The status board screen is divided into the following areas:

Header Area

This screen area contains the menus for general settings and functions, and for navigation.

You can choose the Reports pushbutton to display the following information:

Purchase orders

Purchase requisition

Reservations

MM documents for maintenance components

Controlled usage rate

Availability (calendar)

Selection Area

This screen area displays the technical objects you selected. The folders containing the reference objects are located in the substructure of the master equipment, site equipment, equipment, and functional locations. The following reference objects can be displayed:

Notifications

Orders

Flights

Revisions

Maintenance items

Measurement documents for the technical object

It is possible to jump from the table overview to the detail view of the individual objects (for example, equipment, notification) by navigating forward.

Context menus are available for the objects in the selection area. The options in the context menus depend on the selected object type.

Detail Area

This screen area displays information (as a table) about the individual objects in the selection area.

You can use the following fields to branch to the display of the technical object:

Object Key

Description

You can click the following fields to change them:

Operational Sts

Site

Configuration Code

User Status

Operational Role

Date of Last Measurement Document

If you add the Date of Last Measurement Document field from the field catalog to the display in the detail area, a date is displayed for this field only if you have specified a reference measuring point in the usage rate of the master equipment, and a corresponding measurement document exists.

Display of Remaining Days and Values of a Counter for Maintenance Plans

If multiple maintenance items exist for a technical object, the row for the relevant technical object always displays the remaining days and values of the maintenance item with the next maintenance due date according to the planned date. If the corresponding maintenance date has already passed, the data is displayed with a minus sign.

Settings

You can define general cross-system settings for the status board. To do so, choose Edit → Settings

The following setting options are provided:

Intersession Events (ISE) area

Autom. Update

If you set this indicator, the data is updated automatically in the status board.

Timer

If you set this indicator, you can define (in seconds) the time interval in which the data is updated automatically in the application.

Tree Contents area

Here, you can define which types of objects are displayed in the structure tree of the selection area. To activate the display of an object, select the corresponding indicator.

Application Start area

Std Variant

Default Layout

The display variant and screen layout displayed when the application is started.

You can also make these settings for each user in the User Maintenance transaction (SU01). If you enter a user and choose the Personalization tab page, you can change the above status board settings for the user selected. To do so, choose the personalization object Line Maintenance – Status Board: User Settings (/ISDFPS/LM_STB).

You can also define the status board settings on the basis of roles. To do so, call the transaction Edit Personalization Objects (SPERS_MAINT) and specify the role for which you want to maintain the settings for the personalization object /ISDFPS/LM_STB.

The user settings override the role settings and these override the system settings.

Selection of Technical Objects

You can select which information is displayed in the status board.

You can choose the Select Technical Objects pushbutton to access the following functions:

Select

The Select Technical Objects screen appears. Enter the required selection criteria here, such as entries for identification, localization, or the force element.

If you specify a force element, you can also choose the role of the force element in the relationship to the master equipment (for example, owner only, utilizer only, or both). While the owner is the force element responsible for the object, the utilizer is the force element that uses the object and manages its stock. For equipment, you can specify one force element only and the field for the role is not ready for input.

You can display the following reference objects and their attributes by setting the relevant indicator under Settings

Notifications

Orders (including flights)

Revisions

Maintenance plans (maintenance items)

Measurement documents

The objects are only displayed if you selected the relevant object type in the Settings

If you want to exclude specific notifications, orders, and measurement documents from the selection, you can specify the required notification types, order types, and measurement positions in the Selection Conditions of Dependent Objects area.

When you choose Execute , you return to the status board. The technical objects that fulfill your criteria are displayed with a prefixed icon. In Customizing for master equipment, to be able to distinguish between different master equipment more easily on the screen, you can use the Customizing activity Define Model Identification Code (MIC) to assign your own icons for the objects mapped as master equipment. Similarly, in Customizing for site equipment, to be able to distinguish between different site equipment more easily on the screen, you can use the Customizing activity Define Model Identification Code (MIC) for Site Equipment to assign your own icons for the objects mapped as site equipment.

Selection using system variants: You can create selection variants, for example, to display loaned technical objects. Enter suitable criteria to identify the objects, such as a range of equipment or a range of force elements. Choose Goto → Variants → Save As Variant and save your entries. The system adds your variant to the variant catalog. You can call, display, and delete existing variants as selection criteria.

Deletion

All selected objects are removed from the selection area (not deleted from the system) so that you can start a new selection. If you do not delete the selected objects, the objects from the new selection are added to them when you select new objects. The status board thus selects additively.

Performance Improvement for Selecting Technical Objects

For the Status Board and Controlled Usage Rate applications, you can make technical settings to accelerate the data selection for master equipment with hierarchical structures. You can use these technical settings to reduce the number of selections and thus the data volume, and to accelerate the initial selection of objects. For more information, see the documentation for report /ISDFPS/INIT_INDEX_TABLE.

You make the settings to improve performance in Customizing, by choosing Defense Forces & Public Security → Support for Flight Operations → Status Board in the Customizing activities Configure RFC Connections and Configure bgRFC Connections

Change Documents for the Status Board

Change documents are used to document changes to master records, tables, documents, and so on.

You can use the context menus in the selection area of the status board to display the change documents with all the detailed information for the following objects and attributes:

Technical object

Status of the technical object (overview of status changes made by individual users)

Notification

Order

Revision

Measurement document/measuring point

Menu Functions

The following specific functions are available for the status board:
