Function documentationSettings for the Object Navigator

 

In the Navigator Settings window, you can enter values for particular attributes (such as validity date) of a central object for each view and object type.

The system offers parameters for the central object type, the associated relations, and the child object types. The parameters are grouped according to their validity for individual views.

Note Note

You can personalize the navigator settings, as follows:

  • In Customizing for the object navigator, you can make settings to personalize the navigator settings. You can specify which parameters are to be ignored in the navigator settings. The system does not offer these parameters for personalization in the navigator settings.

    For more information, see Customizing for Start of the navigation path Cross-Application Components Next navigation step Processes and Tools for Enterprise Applications Next navigation step Settings for Object Navigator Next navigation step Make Settings for Object Navigator End of the navigation path.

  • Views that you have personalized in the object navigator have an effect on the possible navigator settings. You can only personalize the non-hidden views there (see Functions of the Object Navigator on the Web User Interface).

End of the note.

Features

  • View

    You select a view for the current object type of your central object and you can enter values for particular attributes (such as validity date).

  • User Settings

    • Maximum Entries to be Expanded

      This field helps object navigator application to render results faster by restricting entries displayed during levels expansion of an object containing huge structures and relations. System ignores the entries count during level 1 expansion of tree structure and expands completely. For expansion to a level greater than 1, the application restricts number of levels to the value in this field and does not expand further levels completely. In such cases, user has to expand further levels manually.

    • Read Subordinate Items in Advance

      If you select this checkbox, the system reads all lower-level items prior to the expansion. The symbols that are displayed indicate whether an item has further lower-level items.

  • Personalize Navigator Settings

    • Personalize Values

      You can save the parameterization so that it is also valid for all further object navigator sessions.

    • Delete Personalization

      You can delete the personalization.

Note Note

This parameterization of individual views always has a global effect. This means it has an effect on all objects of this object type that were processed in the current object navigator session. Changing the parameters can therefore cause elements in the breadcrumb trail to become invalid.

End of the note.

Example Example

If you change the validity date in a view and subsequently the central object becomes invalid, the system cannot determine further objects that are related to the central object. The system issues a corresponding message.

End of the example.
