Object Editing in the Object Browser (SAP Library - Engineering Workbench (PP-BD))

Object Editing in the Object Browser

Use

You use the Engineering Workbench's object browser to give you a clear overview of the objects in your worklist. You can use the object browser's tree structure to navigate quickly to the desired objects. You can call up detail and overview screens for objects, and make assignments and multi-level copies.

Features

The object browser displays all the objects in your worklist, in a hierarchical structure. All object change statuses are also displayed (see graphic 1).

Example

Graphic 2 shows your worklist (PRT P is a document). Graphic 1 shows how it is displayed in the object browser. You cannot see the change statuses for sequence A1 and operation A1-10 in graphic 2, because the This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Change statuses node is collapsed for both objects.
