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 settings have the work item display as standard setting. Note that the ActiveX variant is only available on 32-bit platforms.

User view without ActiveX

Technical View

This setting uses the technical work item display as standard setting.

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 Structure link SAP List Viewer.

Technical View

In addition to the main semantic information, the technical view of the workflow log displays technical numbers and text that would not normally be displayed in the user’s log-on language. The technical view is intended primarily for system administrators.

Additional settings

Work item texts in log on language

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

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

Enable forwarding of work items to several users

The work item can be forwarded to more than one agent.

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 more information, see 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 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 opened for displaying the object.

Note

This setting is not valid if you are working with the SAPGUI for HTML.

Use all objects

If this indicator is set, all objects for all object types are displayed in the Business Object Repository when assigning ad-hoc objects to a work item in the work item display.

If the indicator is not set, only objects of the business object types of the Business Object Repository are offered for selection.

Transfer execution to other work items possible

In the workflow inbox, you can select more than one work item and then choose Execute.

If the indicator is set, you can execute suitable work items together. For more information, see Executing Together.

If the indicator is not set, all work items are offered sequentially for execution.

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.

Note

In Customizing for SAP Business Workflow, you can change the standard values for these personal workflow settings. These standard values are always used if a user has not maintained any settings of their own.
