Folder Content Display 

Use

You can use predefined layout profiles to set the way in which the content folders is depicted.

 

Integration

As well as KM layout profiles there are layout profile that are defined by other SAP NetWeaver™ components or by applications. These layout profiles are for depicting items that the various components or applications store in CM.

For example, a layout profile can display component-specific information that is stored in the properties of particular items. Component-specific symbols can also be displayed.

You can use the Broadcasting layout profile to display items from SAP Business Information Warehouse that you have published in a KM folder using the BEx Broadcaster. This layout profile is preset by default in the BEx Portfolio and in My Portfolio.

It provides access to standard KM functions such as subscriptions, send to, ratings, and personal notes. It also displays BW-specific information such as the date when the calculation took place for pre-calculated BW reports. BW-specific symbols display the relevant item type.

For more information, see Displaying Folder Content with the Broadcasting Layout Profile.

 

Prerequisites

To personalize the depiction of folder content, you only need read permission for the folder.

To set a default depiction for all users, you need the service permission Layout.

 

Features

Layout Profile

Layout profiles are predefined in the configuration and define the appearance of the user interface for navigation in folders. You can select a layout profile and apply it to a folder in the Details dialog box for the folder in question.

For example, you can select a layout profile with an overview tree that simplifies the navigation in folders.

 

Settings

You can make additional settings on tab pages for some layout profiles. Depending on the selected layout profile, different tab pages are displayed. Some examples:

●     Sort property

●     Number of rows

●     Columns to be displayed

 

Apply Settings To Subfolders

You can apply the selected layout profile and settings to a single folder or to a folder and all its subordinate folders in the sub-tree.

 

Applying Settings Independently of the iView

By default, the selected layout profile and settings are only applied to the current iView. In other iViews, the same folder might be displayed differently.

If you want to apply the layout profile and settings to other iViews too, choose Use these Settings Independently of iView.
