User-Specific Settings (SAP Library

User-Specific Settings

Use

You can make various personal settings for working with the Project Builder. These are saved user-specifically and can be changed at any time. If you do not make any user-specific settings, the systems works with preconfigured standard settings.

Features

There are two ways of maintaining user-specific settings:

The first time you call up the Project Builder, a dialog box appears informing you about the settings that you can make. You can then go to the User-specific settings dialog box or leave this dialog box without changing the standard settings. If you do not change the settings, the dialog box appears next time you work with the Project Builder. If you do not want this to happen, select the Never display again indicator.
To access the User-specific settings dialog box where you can define or change your individual settings, choose Settings ® Options.

The following options are available:

Option	What You Should Know	Default Setting
Open project with Structural display Project planning board Display last used	You choose the display variant for opening the Project Builder.	Structural display
Editing mode Change Display	If you usually only look at project data without changing it, you load the data for display only. In this case, the database is not locked and the project can be edited (changed) by another user. If you do not have change authorization, the system automatically selects display mode.	Change mode
Hierarchy levels (possible number: 1 - 99)	You determine how many hierarchy levels are expanded in the structure tree. If you do not enter a number, the system displays all hierarchy levels.	Two hierarchy levels
Preview last project	If you select this indicator, the last project you worked with is automatically displayed in the structure tree the next time you call up the Project Builder.	Not active
Display deleted objects	If you select this indicator, the system displays objects flagged for deletion (logically deleted objects), highlighting them in color.	Not active
Templates New objects Projects Standard templates	With these indicators you determine which object are contained in the Templates screen area: 'Empty' objects for copying (e.g. WBS, network etc.) Existing projects as templates for copying from Standard templates (standard project definitions, standard WBS elements, standard networks)	All active
Processable objects	With these indicators you determine which objects can be edited in the Project Builder. Objects that are not to be edited are not displayed in the screen areas.	All active
