To display and edit functions in Customizing, you can make both user-specific and cross-project settings. These settings are not lost even if you leave the application.
User-specific settings
To make or change user-specific settings, choose Settings ® User-specific… in the Customizing menu in perform project or project management mode.
Display with Controls
On the General tab, you can determine if structures and lists are to be displayed with controls. If controls are used, you have a wider variety of display options available than if you use the standard display format without controls.
If you display an IMG structure in a tree control, you can move the additional information column displayed to the right of the structure and change the display width. To do this, drag the marker at the top of the structure to the right.
A major advantage is provided by the tree control display in combination with a split screen. If this function is active, the screen is divided into several areas when you display a Project IMG:
You can enter the status and the project documentation for the relevant IMG activity while simultaneously being able to resize the individual screen areas with the mouse.
You can toggle between full screen and split screen IMG structure display with the Full Screen On/Off pushbutton. This is useful if the IMG structure is very deep and the node texts are very long. The system records your screen layout and returns to it when it comes back from full screen. You can also go back to the split screen from the full screen with the status or document icons of an IMG activity. You go to this IMG activity, i.e. status information and documents are displayed at the right-hand side of the screen.
In the standard system, structures and lists are displayed using controls. If you want to disable controls-based display, deselect the following flags on the General tab:
Additional display options
You can change the following display options on the IMG Structure tab:
When a project IMG is displayed, the text editor is shown at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. If this function is not selected, the text editor is only shown when you want to create or read project documentation.
You can display IMG documentation in SAPscript or HTML format.
If you always want to display the project documentation or release note symbol in the IMG structure, set the corresponding checkbox.
You can determine which additional information should be displayed beside the structure in the standard system, for example, the activity requirement level or the country assignment.
You can override these default settings for displaying a specific implementation guide by calling up the IMG (your Project IMG, for example) and choosing Additional information (in the Project IMG with split-screen View).
Cross-Project Settings
To make or change cross-project settings, choose Settings ® Cross-project settings in the Customizing menu of Execute Project or Project Management.
The following settings apply to all projects and are not user-specific.
The person who edits an IMG activity is automatically notified by mail if this activity is in another project.

You can use the following project documentation editors:
The SAPscript editor is the default. If you want to use another editor, select it on the Cross-Customizing tab.
