List Settings

You can define the parameters listed below in the List Settings area. These parameters control the behavior of the SAP List Viewer and the related user settings dialog at runtime.

  • Filter Allowed

    If this indicator is selected, the Filter button is displayed. By default, this indicator is selected.

  • Settings Dialog Visible

    This indicator controls the visibility of the SAP List Viewer settings dialog.

    This indicator has to be selected for the two dependent indicators - Column Selection Allowed and Calculation Allowed - to be ready for input.

      If this indicator is selected, the Column Selection tab page is displayed in the Settings dialog box.

      By default, this indicator is selected.

    By default, this indicator is selected.

    Note

    If you have chosen Vertical and Horizontal Drilldown Allowed, this indicator is inactive since in this case it is not possible to save views for technical reasons.

  • Sorting Allowed

    If this indicator is selected, the list can be sorted by columns.

    This indicator also controls whether the Sorting tab page is displayed in the Settings dialog box of the SAP List Viewer.

    By default, this indicator is selected.

  • Changing Display Type Allowed

    If this indicator is selected, the Display Type dropdown box is displayed in the toolbar (table, graphic, table and graphic, and Crystal Reports), as well as the graphic settings of the Display tab page in the Settings dialog box.

    Contains the number of rows displayed. If you enter -1, all rows of the list will be displayed.

    By default, 15 rows are displayed.

    By default, no columns are fixed.

  • Number of Unfixed Columns

    Determines the number of columns to be displayed, in addition to the fixed columns.

    If the table has more columns than the fixed columns plus additional columns, you can access these columns by scrolling.

    If you choose Other Number, you can determine the number of scrollable columns.

    By default, the number is fixed to eight columns.

    You have the following options:

    • No Selection

      The row is not highlighted. No result is triggered.

    • Simple Selection

      You click a table row to select it.

      This is the setting you need if you want to transfer the context of a line to a navigation target.

Navigation Settings

  • Goto Allowed

    If this indicator is selected, you can navigate from the list to predefined navigation destinations.

    You can determine navigation destinations using the following methods:

    • Determine Navigation Targets Through Another Launchpad

      You can assign the list component a launchpad (referred to as a navigation launchpad below) in which you have determined navigation destinations.

      To assign an application a navigation launchpad, you must enter a launchpad role and launchpad instance in the configuration of the list component, or you must transfer the role and instance at runtime as parameters.

    • Navigation Destinations Using Sender/Receiver Assignments

      In Sender/Receiver Assignment (transaction RSBBS), you can assign an analytic query (sender) multiple receivers. When you then display this query in the list component, you can navigate to the destinations defined in it.

      For more information about receiver types, see the documentation of SAP NetWeaver under Recipient and Editing Sender-Receiver Assignments to the RRI in the BI System.

    If you have defined destinations, the Goto button choice is displayed at runtime, and it provides you with a list of available destinations. All the available destinations that you defined either in transaction RSBBS or in the navigation launchpad are listed here.

  • Launchpad Role and Instance

    You can enter the role and instance of a navigation launchpad.

    With the Configure button, you navigate to transaction LPD_CUST. If a role and instance were already assigned, you navigate directly to the configuration of the respective launchpad.

Toolbar Elements

You can define the following elements in the Toolbar Elements area and assign them FPM events:

  • Pushbutton

    For each button you add, you must specify a description and an FPM event ID.

  • Button Choice

    For each button choice, you must add items and specify a description for the button choice. You must also add a description and an FPM event ID for each item in the button choice.

  • Separator

    You can insert additional vertical space between toolbar elements and group elements that belong together by means of separators.

  • Link to Action

    For each added link to action, you must specify a description and an FPM event ID.

    Note

    You can define additional parameters for all toolbar elements, except for the Separator element.

    You can add predefined FPM events and event parameters.

    In the application controller, you can react to these events and thus control the execution of planning functions and planning sequences.

    You can use predefined events if you want to execute planning functions and planning sequences:

    • The FPM event for executing a planning function is BSA_PLFUNC with the parameters PLFUNC and FILTER for the name of the planning function and the filter.

    • The FPM event for executing a planning sequence is BSA_PLSEQU with parameter PLSEQU for the planning sequence.

    You can use these events in toolbar elements such as buttons or button choices.

    Note

    For the above user interface elements, you can create quick info texts and use them to display detailed information.
