 Change-Request Based Navigation

 

Change-request based navigation occurs when you start processing a change request. Navigation possibilities include the following:

  • Opening the relevant work item from the inbox.

  • Searching for and selecting a change request in My Change Requests.

  • Searching for a business object and clicking the Pending Change Requests icon.

Features

Navigation Based on Change Request Steps

The system selects a target user interface for the change request type and the current change step based on the User Interface per Change Request Step view of the following activity in Customizing for Master Data Governance, Central Governance: Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling Next navigation step Change Requests Next navigation step Configure Properties of Change Request Step End of the navigation path If a target UI is found, it is used.

Object-and-Action Based Navigation for Single-Object Change Requests

If the system cannot identify a target UI for the current change request step and the indicator Single Object of the change request type is set (Customizing for Master Data Governance, Central Governance under Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling Next navigation step Change Requests Next navigation step Create Change Request Type End of the navigation path), the system uses object-and-action based navigation.

The system performs the following actions:

  1. Determines the business activity for the change request type.

    Path: Customizing for Master Data Governance, Central Governance under Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling Next navigation step Change Requests Next navigation step Create Change Request Type End of the navigation path

  2. Determines the logical action and Business Object Type based on the business activity settings.

    Path: Customizing for Master Data Governance, Central Governance under Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling Next navigation step Business Activities Next navigation step Create Business Activity End of the navigation path

  3. Determines the target UI based on the business activity, logical action, and Business Object Type according to the logic of object-and-action based navigation (See Object-and-Action Based Navigation)

Note Note

If the system cannot determine a target UI based on the logic described above, the target UI is the obsolete single-object processing UI USMD_ENTITY_VALUE2. In this case, the system determines the application configuration ID for USMD_ENTITY_VALUE2 in the Entity Types view of the following activity in Customizing for Master Data Governance, Central Governance: Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling Next navigation step Change Requests Next navigation step Create Change Request Type End of the navigation path.

End of the note.
Multiple-Object Change Requests

If the system cannot determine a target UI for the current change request step and the Single Object setting of the change request type is not applied (Path: Customizing for Master Data Governance, Central Governance under Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling Next navigation step Change Requests Next navigation step Create Change Request Type End of the navigation path), the target UI is application USMD_CREQUEST_PROCESS.
