Report Variant Types in QM

Use

If you determine selection criteria for a frequently used worklist function using a report variant, you define the criteria on two levels:

Initial Screen Level

You can make the initial screen of a worklist function user-specific and define it as a report variant. There are hierarchical levels for the variant types. Users find the following display schema useful for variant types:

Report Variants	Naming Convention	Application Area	Defining Level
1. User variant Pushbutton (My default)	U_<user name>	User	User
2. Standard variant	SAP_TCODE_xxxx ( xxxx represents the transaction code that creates the relevant list)	All users	System administrator (Customizing)
3. System variant	SAP&TCODE_xxxx ( xxxx represents the transaction code that creates the relevant list)	All users	System default

For more information about the different variant attributes, see the Basis documentation Variant Attributes. For more information about the selection variables, see the Basis documentation Variable Values in Variants.

List Variant Level

If the relevant worklist is displayed using the ABAP list viewer, you can determine a list variant for the worklist by defining the following information:

Fields that should be displayed
Sort criteria
Filter requirements
