Preselecting ChangelistsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

If you create a development object in a development workbench, this is automatically collected in a changelist. The changelist used for this is the one that was already preselected as the default in the Change Organizer. If no changelist is defined as default, a new changelist is created automatically that is then used as the default.

Note

You can control this setting using system settings in SAP NetWeaver Administrator.

For more information: Configuring the Change Organizer

Only one changelist can be preselected as the default for each user. You can jump directly to the preselected changelist by selecting a changelist and choosing Go to Default Changelist in the context menu. If you are in the list of changelists for all users, it is not possible to display which changelists are preselected as default.

If you have administrator rights, you can preselect changelists for both yourself and for other users.

Procedure

Preselecting Changelists as Default

You have the following options for preselecting changelists as the default:

  • When creating a changelist manually

    In the Create Changelist dialog box, set the Default flag.

    The newly-created changelist is automatically defined as default if no other existing changelist of the same user has been preselected. If another changelist of the same user has already been selected as default, this preselection disappears.

  • After creating the changelist

    Select an open changelist and choose Default .

    If another changelist of the same user has already been selected as default, this preselection disappears.

Preselecting Changelists as Default for Other Users

If you have administrator rights, you can define an open changelist of another user as the default for that user. Proceed as follows:

  1. Select Other Users Changelists in the user filter and select the user that you want to define the default changelist for in the selection list. You now see all changelists of the selected user.

    Note

    As administrator you can only define the default changelist for a team if you are a member of the team.

  2. Select the required changelist and choose Default .

Deselecting Preselected Changelists as Default

You can undo a preselection by selecting the preselected changelist and choosing Default . The changelist is now no longer the default.
