Make Settings for the Easy Graphics Framework To be able to use the Easy Graphics Framework (EGF), you must make the following Customizing settings.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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.
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
.
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
.
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
.
You define the number of EGF objects for each cockpit. To do this, in Customizing for EWM, specify the number in dialog structure
in IMG activity
Define Cockpits
. For more information, see the IMG for EWM under
.
You define input data for an EGF cockpit. To do this, in Customizing for EWM, specify the number in dialog structure
in IMG activity
Define Cockpits
. For more information, see the IMG for EWM under
.
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
. 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
.
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
.
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
