 Make Settings for the Easy Graphics Framework

To be able to use the Easy Graphics Framework (EGF), you must make the following Customizing settings.

Settings for EGF Objects

  • If you want to display a graphic in a cockpit, define your own chart types and assign these or existing chart types to EGF objects. To do this, in Customizing for EWM, execute the IMG activity Define Chart Types and Define Objects . For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for EWM under Start of the navigation path Monitoring Next navigation step Easy Graphics Framework Next navigation step Define Chart TypesandDefine Objects End of the navigation path .

  • If you navigate from a displayed EGF object to follow-up activities, and want to use the Post Processing Framework or a workflow, define follow-up activities. To do this, in Customizing for EWM, execute the IMG activity Define Functions . For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Start of the navigation path Monitoring Next navigation step Easy Graphics Framework Next navigation step Define Functions End of the navigation path .

  • If you want to define authorizations for each EGF object or function, define authorization groups and assign these to an EGF object or function. To do this, in Customizing for EWM, execute the IMG activity Define Authorization Groups and Define Objects . For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Start of the navigation path Monitoring Next navigation step Easy Graphics Framework Next navigation step Define Objects End of the navigation path .

    Note Note

    The EGF only performs the authorization check for EGF objects. If you define a navigation to follow-up activities and follow-up objects, you have to perform an authorization check yourself.

    End of the note.
  • You define the default chart type for an EGF object. To do this, in Customizing for EWM, you specify the default chart type for an EGF object in the Chart Type field of IMG activity Define Objects . For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Start of the navigation path Monitoring Next navigation step Easy Graphics Framework Next navigation step Define Objects End of the navigation path .

  • If you want to change the predefined refresh rate, define your own refresh rate. To do this, in Customizing for EWM, you specify your refresh rate in the Interval column of dialog structure Objects in the IMG activity Define Objects (see Using the Refresh Rate ). For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Start of the navigation path Monitoring Next navigation step Easy Graphics Framework Next navigation step Define Objects End of the navigation path .

Settings for Displaying EGF Objects in the Navigation Tree of the EGF Cockpit

  • You specify the cockpit for displaying an EGF object by defining a new EGF implementation. To do this, in Customizing for EWM, execute the IMG activity Define Cockpits . For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Start of the navigation path Monitoring Next navigation step Easy Graphics Framework Next navigation step Define Cockpits End of the navigation path .

  • You define the number of EGF objects for each cockpit. To do this, in Customizing for EWM, specify the number in dialog structure Start of the navigation path Cockpits Next navigation step Objects End of the navigation path in IMG activity Define Cockpits . For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Start of the navigation path Monitoring Next navigation step Easy Graphics Framework Next navigation step Define Cockpits End of the navigation path .

  • You define input data for an EGF cockpit. To do this, in Customizing for EWM, specify the number in dialog structure Start of the navigation path Cockpits Next navigation step Input Data End of the navigation path in IMG activity Define Cockpits . For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Start of the navigation path Monitoring Next navigation step Easy Graphics Framework Next navigation step Define Cockpits End of the navigation path .

Settings for Graphics

  • You define the attributes of a graphic for each EGF object, such as per resource or warehouse task, or per user. For example, you can define that the background color in graphics is always blue, or that EGF is to always use blue, yellow, red, and green to display pie charts.To do so, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Monitoring Next navigation step Process Chart Template End of the navigation path . Make your changes, and save them. When saving, you can choose between User-Specific and Cross-User . You have defined the authorizations per EGF object or user if required. You can assign the following authorizations:

    • You can define a chart type, and allow it as a default chart type for all users, EGF cockpits, and EGF objects.

    • You can define a chart type, and allow it as a default chart type for user USER1 , all EGF cockpits, and all EGF objects.

    • You can define a third chart type, and allow it as a default chart type for user USER2 , EGF cockpit COCKPIT2 , and EGF object OBJECT2 .

      To do this, in Customizing for EWM, you define the graphic attributes for each EGF object in dialog structure Cockpits of IMG activity Define Settings . For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Start of the navigation path Monitoring Next navigation step Easy Graphics Framework Next navigation step Define Cockpits End of the navigation path .

Settings for Your Own Graphics

  • If you want to use something other than SAP Internet Graphics Server (SAP IGS) as your graphics provider, define your own graphic types and set the URL indicator. This calls the GET_URL method of your service provider, allowing you to return a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to the EGF. To do this, in Customizing for EWM, execute the IMG activity Define Chart Types . For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Start of the navigation path Monitoring Next navigation step Easy Graphics Framework Next navigation step Define Chart Types End of the navigation path .

    Note Note

    The EGF uses an HTML Viewer to display a URL that links to a graphic. You can use the GET_URL method of interface /SCWM/IF_EGF_SP to implement your own graphics provider instead of the SAP Internet Graphics Server (SAP IGS). The EGF receives the data from which a graphic is to be generated from the service provider. The EGF then calls your graphics provider instead of the SAP IGS. In this situation, you are responsible for which data the EGF displays with the URL. Calling a URL outside of the SAP system and calling a graphics provider within an SAP system may not be safe, since data can enter the system without undergoing a virus check, for example.

    We recommend that you use SAP Web Repository to save and display graphics using a URL with the EGF, for example. You can activate a virus check with the SAP Web Repository to check documents and graphics before an upload.

    We recommend that you make the following settings in your Browser: Make Browser Settings for the Easy Graphics Framework
