Layout Workbench: Entry via Site 

Use

Entering the Layout Workbench via the Site view enables a manager to get an overview of the layout of their stores. The Site view provides for the most part information only. You cannot perform activities that have an immediate impact on the layouts of other stores in this view. So, for example, the manager can create a new layout module version and assign it to their own site (store), but they can neither change it nor delete it.

Features

When you enter via the Site view, the layout structure of the site is displayed. The following levels are displayed hierarchically:

·        The layouts assigned to the site, together with their assortments

·        The layout modules assigned to the layout

·        The versions of the layout modules together with their variants

·        The documents assigned to the layout module versions

From the layout workbench you can branch to the following functions:

·        Space maintenance

·        Layout maintenance

·        Layout module maintenance

·        Layout module version maintenance (when you enter layout module version maintenance, the layout module versions of the layout modules concerned are displayed).

·        the site master display of the site, to which the space management profile and the layout are assigned

You can create and display error logs using the BAPI for the interface to external space management programs.

You can create listing conditions. In principle, you can only list the current and the next version of a layout module. You have two options:

·        Create listing conditions for all layout module versions for the site.

·        Choose one or more layout module versions for which you want to create listing conditions for articles. You can only select released layout module versions.

A prerequisite for both these options is that articles that are assigned to layout module version have a facing that is greater than zero. The layout module version must also have the status Released (=02).

A traffic light icon in the hierarchy shows you whether the listing conditions for the combination assortment/layout module version are up to date:

·        Green traffic light: the listing conditions for this version are up to date.

·        Yellow traffic light: the version has already been listed but no listing relevant changes have been made since the last listing.

·        Red traffic light: the version has never been listed.

You can display the articles in a version for which the option of branching to the integrated article maintenance exists.

The documents assigned to the layout module version in the current application can be displayed.

You can create layout module variants for the selected sites and display the articles in the variants. You assign the layout module variants. Note that you can no longer change variants that have already been created as they may be assigned to several sites and so any changes would affect all the sites.
