Table Controls (SAP Library

Table Controls

Use

The table control function enables you to modify standard SAP table format as necessary. This is especially useful when standard SAP tables contain columns you do not use.

Features

Table controls provide the following features:

Fixed and variable columns. Variable columns have a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom.
Columns you can resize:

When you move the cursor to the gridline between two columns, the cursor changes to a double-headed arrow. To change column width, click the left mouse button, and move the gridline to the desired width.

Columns you can rearrange using drag and drop:

Place the cursor in the header of the column you want to move, hold the left mouse button, and move the column to the desired position.

If you move the cursor along the horizontal scrollbar, quick infos appear indicating the column that would jump to the first display position (after the fixed columns) if you click the scrollbar at that location.

You can set the optimal column width (as defined in the SAP System) by pressing and holding the Shift key, and clicking the left mouse button within any column header.

Icons at the bottom of a table are specific to that table. Some icons commonly used in tables are:

Icon	Name	Description
	Choose detail	Displays all information currently available on the selected item
	Create line	Adds a line
	Delete line	Deletes a line
	Select all	Selects all table entries
	Deselect all	Deselects all table entries
