Determining General Settings (SAP Library - CBI Question & Answer Database)

Determining General Settings

Use

Using the Administration menu, the project manager is able to set project standards and settings for the entire Q&Adb.

Features

The Administration menu contains the following functions:

Project management function

To allow maintenance of the CI templates, select Settings and set the CI template: Allow renaming and comments indicator. This enables you to add sections to CI templates and to give them a project-specific name. This setting also allows you to edit comments in the CI sections.

If you edit CI sections, the changes you make will appear in customer input templates for the entire substructure. We recommend that you rename and insert comments for specific sections of the CI template before you start working with the Q&Adb and then disable the function for all project employees

In order to establish a consistent basis for the Business Blueprint, make the following settings before you finish working with the Q&Adb:

To disable editing of the SAP Reference Structure, select Administration ® Protection options ®Modify structure.

To disable changes to customer input templates select Protection options ® Disable Blueprint changes.

To disable the editing of questions, select Protection options ® Questions: Disable edit questions function.

Creating views for the Q&Adb

To display new project-specific names for structure items, select Settings and set the Use project-specific terms indicator.

To view only the baseline and scope columns in the business processes transaction table (see Working with the business process transaction matrix), set the indicator BP Transactions: Hide cycle columns. The configuration cycle columns (showing which structure items are configured and in which cycle they are to be configured) will then be displayed only in the Business Process Master List.

The project manager can hide particular sections of the customer input templates. Team members will also be unable to view the hidden sections using the View menu (View ® Category filters ® CI template). To adapt the CI templates to suit your requirements:

Choose Settings.
Select the Set CI Template Filters button.
In the list box on the top of the dialog box, select the substructure for which you would like to modify the CI template.
Transfer all sections not to be used by the project team into the Hidden sections window.

Further Options

To automatically set new structure items in scope, select Settings and set the Automatically set in scope: Added structure items indicator.
To automatically set in scope structure items copied and pasted within the SAP Reference Structure, select Settings and set the indicator Automatically set in scope: Copied structure items.
To display more options for formatting and editing CI templates, select Settings and set the indicator Use editor for CIT answering.
