Direct Actions

Search for 'ABC' with 'xyz'

If the query starts with a mnemonic followed by a search term (separated by a blank), this action is displayed at the top in the dropdown menu as the default action.

Start Transaction 'ABC'

You have the following options:

• /n

  Ends the current application, closes the tab, and opens a new tab, in which the new SAP GUI transaction is started

• /o

  Opens the transaction in a new window

• /t

  Opens the transaction in a new tab

• Insert transaction code without prefix

  When you enter a transaction code without prefix, the system validates if the transaction exists in the user menu or in the back end.

  • If the transaction exists, it appears as the first entry in the dropdown menu of the quick launch and you can directly start it from there.

  • Until the system finds the transaction, the last used search appears as the first entry in the suggestion list and is selected when you press ENTER.

  You can also start the transaction immediately without having it validated. In the personalization settings, select the Start Transaction Without Validation Check checkbox. When the user enters a transaction and then presses ENTER, the transaction opens in a new tab. The system does not validate if the transaction exists in the user menu or in the back end. By default, this personalization setting is deactivated.

  You can stop a transaction by choosing Stop Transaction in the tab context menu.

If you enter a search term into the type-ahead field that contains blanks (for example, if you type in multiple words), this action is disabled.

Navigate to Web Address

If the query contains a period ( .) or starts with a URL protocol, this action is displayed at the top in the dropdown menu as the default action.
