Activities

For some screen sequence categories you get a selection of the BP roles, or also of the role groupings, for which you can configure a screen and from which you can select a BP role or role grouping for processing. Choosing a role activates the screen configurator, and a new window appears in which you configure the screen.

  1. Choosing Editing Modes:
    There is a screen layout mode and a screen sequence mode. When the screen configurator is activated, the system default is screen layout mode, in which you decide on the layout of the screens.

    Choose the button Process Screen Sequence or Process Screen Layout or Goto -> Screen Sequence or Screen Layout to switch from one mode to another.

  2. Choosing View Type in Screen Layout Mode:
    In screen layout mode, select individual screens of the screen sequence from the lower half of the screen.

    Select the button Change View To..., or Settings -> Layout View, Normal View or Structure View in the menu to switch between the various views.

  • The most important entry and output fields appear in the normal view. They are grouped together in views (indicated by black frames), which in turn are grouped together in sections (indicated by white frames). Whereas the view frame is visible only in the screen configurator, the section frame and its title also appear in the application.
  • Only the section frames and titles are visible in the layout view. The view frames are not visible.
  • In the structure view, only view frames (and relevant name of view) and section frames are displayed, not the entry and output fields.

  1. Switching the Overview On or Off
    Choose the button Overview On/Off, or Settings -> Overview On/Off in the menu. An overview appears on the right-hand side of the screen with the tab pages Standard, Configuration and Views.

  • The tab page Views alphabetically displays all the available views.

    A view can appear in several sections or screens. If a view is used once or more, it always has a green traffic light. If it is no longer used, it has a red traffic light.

  • The tab page Standard displays the screen sequence defined in the control tables. If a view is no longer used, it is marked red. This allows you to recognize deviations from the standard screen sequence. You can add these views with red markings to a section using Drag & Drop.
  • The tab page Configuration displays the screen sequence you have configured, as it is also displayed in the dialog.

  1. Using the Help Function during Drag & Drop:
    If you want to change the screen layout, you can use a Drag & Drop function which allows you to move views and sections to individual screens and between different screens. The configuration of the views and sections is therefore restricted by the default general conditions.
    The view (or section) affected by the drag has a dark background. The insertion position of the view (or section) is marked by a red line.
    If you want to obtain an overview of the permitted positions, you can place the cursor on a view (or a section) and choose the right mouse button. Position the cursor on the help button in the menu bar during the drag activity. A description of the areas where an insertion is permitted appears.
  2. Editing the Screen Layout Mode

  • Choose the pushbutton Cut to cut views or sections from a screen and transfer them to a buffer.
  • Choose the button Copy to copy views or sections to the buffer.
  • Choose the button Insert to insert a view or a section from the buffer into the screen layout. Keep the mouse button depressed (drag) while you are doing this. Each view should appear once only on each screen.
  • Choose the pushbutton Delete to remove views or sections from the screen layout.
  • Choose the pushbutton New Section and insert an empty section using Drag & Drop into the screen.

    You can add views that are marked grey in the overview to a section using the pushbuttons Copy and Insert. You can add views that are marked red in the overview to a section using Drag & Drop.

  1. Changing Section Names:
    You can change the names of sections by double clicking to select the section. An additional window appears in which you can enter the new name. Choose Continue.
  2. Editing the Screen Sequence Mode:
    The order of individual screens during editing is shown in the screen sequence mode. You can change the position of screens using Drag & Drop.

  • Choose the button New Screen in the overview to insert a new screen into the screen sequence. Switch to editing the screen in the screen layout mode.
  • Choose the pushbutton Delete to remove a screen from the screen sequence.

  1. Changing Screen Names:

  • You can change the names of screens by double clicking to select the screen. An additional window appears in which you can enter the new name. Choose Continue.

  1. Canceling and Transferring:

  • If you select Screen Configuration -> Transfer, you exit the screen configuration, but the current screen configuration is still saved. You leave the screen configurator and return to the selection of BP roles. Here you can select another BP role for screen configuration, or save all current screen configurations to the database by choosing Save.
  • If you select Edit -> Cancel, you exit the screen configuration without saving it. You leave the screen configurator and return to the selection of BP roles. Here you can select another BP role for screen configuration.

  1. Resetting the SAP Standard Configuration:

  • Choose Edit -> SAP Standard to load the screen sequence stored in the control tables. The current screen configuration is lost in this process. You can edit the loaded standard configuration or transfer it without making changes.
  • When you choose BP roles you can also reset configured screen sequences to the screen sequence stored in the control tables by choosing the button Reset Standard

Further notes

The order of the screen selection buttons in screen layout mode is generally unrelated to the actual screen sequence that appears in screen sequence mode.
