Attributes

Description

List of Roles

(ROLE_1, ROLE_2, ROLE_...)

·        Restriction to favorites and/or specific roles

·        If no entry is made, the assigned roles and favorites of the user are displayed.

·        The favorites can be displayed with ROLE=SAP_BW_FAVORITES_ (with two ‘_’ between SAP_BW and FAVORITES_). Do so by selecting the entry Own Favorites from the list.

·        If you want to restrict the display to specific roles, choose these roles from the list.

·        You can also use multiple selection of roles to display individual roles within a collective role using the Role Menu Web item. However, the collective roles are not available as F4 help.

Number of levels.

(LEVEL)

‘0’ = all levels

Number of levels that are initially read.

The role menu is initially loaded with the specified levels. Further levels are read dynamically by expanding folders. All levels are read for LEVEL=0.

Filters

(FILTER)

Filter menu entries according to type

You can filter according to the following types or type combinations.

·         'U' = URLs

·         'P '  = Web templates

·         ‘Y’ = Queries

·         'R '  = Crystal Reports

All entries for these types are displayed when a filter is not specified.

For example, the filter ‘UP’ shows all URLs and Web templates with reference to ROLE.

Name of Target Frame

(TARGET)

Name of the frame for executing menu entries.

The URL is executed in the specified frame behind a menu entry.

Scroll Bar Display

(SCROLL_STYLE)

“Auto” = Automatic (when needed)

“Yes” = Scrollbar always displayed

“No” = Scrollbars never displayed

Scrollbar display

Scrollbars are displayed either dependently on the size of the contents (Auto) or independently of the size, either always (Yes) or never (No).

Display with IFrame

(IFRAME)

'X' = Yes, '  '  = No

Display as IFrame

You can display the Role Menu Web item in an Iframe (a frame imbedded in HTML) or in a frameset. On the one hand, the combination from other Web items with the Role Menu Web item is possible for an IFrame. On the other hand, Netscape 4.7 and PDAs do not support IFrames. Only the Role Menu Web item is displayed for the Frameset. The other Web items are ignored.

The advantage of IFrames is that they allow you to structure the HTML page for the role menu freely, for example, with text, logos, or other Web items. The role menu in the frame set is created generically and cannot be changed externally.

If a role menu is called up with IFrame on Netscape 4.7 or on a PDA, the IFrame is ignored and a frameset is automatically sent to the Web browser.

Display with Frame around IFrame

(IFRAME_STYLE)

‘X’ = Yes, ‘  ’ = No

Displaying the frame around the IFrame

A frame border is displayed around the IFrame. The proposed value is ‘ ‘ = No.

User and logo display

(DISPLAY_USER)

'X' = Yes, '  '  = No

User and logo display

Above the role menu, the user name is displayed along with a logo.

Logo Icon Path

(ICON_LOGO)

Path of the logo icon

The path of the icon in the MIME repository that is displayed as a logo. You can only use this attribute in the context of DISPLAY_USER. For example: ‘Bex/Icons/s_logo.gif’

Logo Height in Dots

(HEIGHT_LOGO)

Logo height in dots

You can use this attribute to individually adjust the height of your logo. It particularly makes sense to set this attribute when you have specified your own logo using the attribute Logo Icon Path (ICON_LOGO), and where the height of this logo does not match the default SAP logo height.

Hierarchy display with colors

(HIERARCHY_COLOR)

‘X’ = Yes, ‘  ’ = No

Each hierarchy level is displayed with a different color.

First level not displayed

(HIDE_FIRST_LEVEL)

‘X’ = Yes, ‘  ’ = No

The entries in the second hierarchy level are displayed.

Display with icons

(DIFF_ICONS)

‘X’ = Yes, ‘  ’ = No

The entries in the role menu are each given an appropriate icon, regardless of the type.
