Use

In this IMG activity, you define hierarchies for columns and column groups. This is beneficial if a column group is used in more than one organizational structure view and you want to add a column to the column group in one of these views.

When you arrange columns and column groups in a hierarchy, the system displays the subordinate columns and column groups for a column group on the user interface.

Requirements

You have performed the IMG activity Define Column Groups.

Standard settings

If you want to change a column group of the standard system, you must use the technical name of the relevant hierarchical column group in the standard system for your customer-specific entry in the activity Create or Change Hierarchical Column Groups. This enables you to overwrite the standard entry.

Activities

Example

Example 1

In a particular context, you want to add column S to an existing column group, A. Therefore, you create a column S in the IMG activity, Define Columns. In the IMG activity Define Column Groups, you create a new column group, B to which you assign the column S. You then arrange the column groups in this IMG activity in a hierarchy. You assign column group A, in which the system is also to display column S to the column group B, which you have just created.

Example 2

You assign column groups A and B to column group C. Column group A is a hierarchical column group to which the column groups A1 and A2 are assigned.

When the user selects the columns that belong to column group C, the system automatically displays the columns that belong to column groups A and B as well. The columns are displayed in the following sequence:

  1. Columns that belong to column group C
  2. Columns that belong to column group A
  3. Columns that belong to column group B
  4. Columns that belong to column group A1
  5. Columns that belong to column group A2
