PD: Tables Revised for Structural Graphic Control

Description

The tables used up to now for controlling SAP structural graphics have been replaced by new tables. The new tables offer the customer much more flexibility when editing graphics.

System administration changes

The following tables have been replaced by others:

• "SAP Structural Graphics: PD object data control"

• "SAP Structural Graphics: User menus"

• "SAP Structural Graphics: Use of menus in PD"

• "SAP Structural Graphics: PD Profiles"

• "SAP Structural Graphics: Colors and forms"

• "SAP Structural Graphics: PD text tables"

The new tables provide you with the following benefits:

Access data on the contents of the "boxes" and access data for the connecting lines are now stored in two client-independent tables.

• The corresponding texts (field definitions) are stored language-specifically in the tables for graphics boxes and graphics lines.

• A new table when used with its corresponding text table describes editing tools that can be used to make changes (both structural changes and object changes) in Structural Graphics.

In future, you will be able to control what combination of tools should be available in the graphics.

• You will be able to define contexts that specify the environment in which you call graphics.

• Depending on the context, it is possible to output texts, colors and forms (and also, if necessary, the tools) in different ways.

• It is also possible to set up texts, colors and forms (and also, if necessary, the tools) for specific users and contexts.

Note

The standard entries are copied automatically into the new tables.

Customer-specific changes must be transferred into the new structure manually.

To ensure that this runs smoothly, the previous tables are not deleted automatically. Customer-specific entries in the tables are still effective for the graphics.
