Activities

Once you have chosen and started the required view, you see the list of the available columns on the left, and the list of the displayed columns on the right.

  1. In the Visible Rows Before Paging field, enter how many rows are displayed in the result list before the paging starts.

    Example Example

    In the result list 150 entries are available. If you enter 100 in the field, paging starts after the defined number of 100 rows. This means that the 150 results are displayed on two pages: 100 results on the first page and 50 results on the second page.

    End of the example.

  2. In the Visible Rows Before Scrolling field, enter how many rows are displayed in the result list before a vertical scroll bar is displayed.

    Example Example

    In the result list 150 entries are available. If you enter 10 in the field, 10 rows are displayed in the result list and scrolling starts after the defined number of 10 rows. This means that a scroll bar is displayed and that you can scroll from the first to the hundredth entry on the first page. For the 101st entry, you enter the second page.

    End of the example.

  3. You can move fields back and forth between the list of displayed fields and the list of available fields, by using the Right and Left arrow keys.

    All the fields in the list of displayed fields are available to users, in the result list on the search page.

  4. If you want to rename a column, overwrite the text in the field Column Title in the list of displayed fields.

  5. In the Column Width field, enter a whole number between 1 and 100.

    This value specifies how much space the column takes up in the result list on the search page. Columns with no values are distributed across the remaining total column width. The following units of measure are supported: %, px, em, in, cm, mm, pt, pc.

    Example Example

    Column A: 10

    Column B: 10

    Columns C and D: No value

    Columns C and D occupy 40% of the available column width each.

    End of the example.

    Note Note

    Whether a scroll bar is displayed or not, is based on the following prerequisites:

    • If % is used to define the column width, no scroll bar is displayed.

    • If one of the units %, px, em, in, cm, mm, pt, pc is used, a scroll bar is automatically displayed. If px is entered in a column, the width of the remaining columns is determined by the ABAP Dictionary.

    • If nothing is entered, the percent approach is used. The width is determined by the ABAP Dictionary and converted to percent.

    • The mixed use of units, for example, % and px, is not allowed.

    End of the note.

  6. In the dropdown box in the Horizontal Alignment field, choose the alignment of the text in the field.

    You can choose between Automatic, Left, Right, and Center. Automatic means that the system determines the appropriate alignment based on the data type. With Left, Right, and Center the automatic alignment is deactivated.

  7. If you want to display a column in the table, deselect the Hidden checkbox.

    Note Note

    If the checkbox Hidden is selected, the corresponding column is hidden in the table. However, the user can display hidden columns via personalization of the corresponding table, in the CRM WebClient. With Reset to Default in the personalization of the table in the CRM WebClient, the user can reset the original configuration.

    End of the note.

  8. Save your entries.
