Personal Settings 

Use

The personal settings for workflow enable you to adapt the runtime system to suit your requirements.

Features

Work item display

User view with ActiveX (32-bit)

Both of these settings define the work item display as the default. Note that the ActiveX variant is only available on 32-bit platforms.

User view without ActiveX

Technical view

This setting defines the technical work item display as the default.

Workflow log

User view with ActiveX (32-bit)

User view of the workflow log without any technical aspects. This view uses ActiveX controls and is therefore only available on 32-bit platforms.

User view without ActiveX

User view of the workflow log without any technical aspects. This view uses the hierarchical list display of the ABAP List Viewer.

Technical view

In addition to the main semantic information, the technical view of the workflow log also displays technical numbers and texts that may not be available in the logon language of the user. The technical view is intended primarily for system administrators.

Further settings

Display work item texts in logon language

All work item texts in the Business Workplace are always displayed in the user’s logon language.

If the user’s logon language is different to the language in which the work item was created, additional database accesses are required that can delay display of the Business Workplace.

Enable forwarding of work items to several users

The work item can be forwarded to several agents.

The term "agent" is used in a broad sense in this context. You specify the agent as an organizational object (organizational unit, job, position, user) when forwarding the work item. This organizational object can consist of several persons.

For further information, refer to Forwarding.

(Double)-clicking on an object displays the object in the same window.

You can choose an object in the work item display, which is then displayed in the current session window and replaces the work item display. When you exit the object display, you return to the work item display.

If you do not set the indicator, a new session is created to display the object.

This setting does not apply if you work with the SAP GUI for HTML.

No tips & tricks in workplace

The Business Workplace includes tips and tricks for working with work items and workflows in the work item preview. If you set this indicator, the tips and tricks are not displayed.

No HTML in execution of decision tasks.

You use this indicator to decide whether the execution of decision tasks is displayed in HTML or not. Deactivating the HTML display may make sense, for example, if you have problems displaying HTML documents generally because of the settings in your local HTML browser.

Activities

To change the personal settings for workflow, you choose Settings ® Workflow settings ® Personal settings in the Business Workplace.

The settings are saved as user parameters and take effect the next time the work item display or workflow log is called.

You can change the standard values for these personal workflow settings in Customizing for SAP Business Workflow. These standard values are always used if users have not maintained settings of their own.
