 5.2 Improvements in PFCG User Interface Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

While the functions offered in PFCG remain, on the whole, the same in the different releases supported by NWBC, the user interface on the Menu tab has been changed so as to offer an enhanced user experience. In SAP NetWeaver 7.00 SP21+, SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SP6+ and SAP NetWeaver 7.02+ a number of changes have been implemented.

Caution Caution

These changes are only available in systems from SAP NetWeaver 7.00 SP21+, SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SP6+ and SAP NetWeaver 7.02+ and cannot be used in lower releases and service packs.

End of the caution.

The changed user interface reflects both settings that apply to the role level as well as settings for individual role entries (both folders and nodes). At role level there are the Menu Options for very special use cases, whereas for individual role entries there are the Other Node Details which differ slightly from one another regarding the details offered, depending on the position in the menu tree, whether they are folders or nodes, etc.

  • In 7.00 SP21+ and 7.01 SP6+ systems the settings for the whole role are available with the button Menu Options on the bottom right of the screen. In 7.02+ systems these settings are available with the same button Menu Options which is situated on the very right of the button bar, next to the Other Node Details.

  • In 7.00 SP21+ and 7.01 SP6+ systems the settings for individual node entries, be they folders or nodes, are available for each item via the context menu entry Details for NetWeaver Business Client. These settings are available in 7.02+ systems via the button Other Node Details.
