Add documentation to (collective) search help

If i create a collective search help via se11 and execute it, the blue 'I'-button (information) appears.  When I press it, nothing happens.
(the same thing occurs with the sflight searchhelp)
I would like to add a documentation to a collective search help that would appear when this button is pressed.  is this possible and how should I do it?

Hi Dries,
Go through this info.
Creating Collective Search Helps
Procedure
In the initial screen of the ABAP Dictionary, select object class Search help, enter the name of the search help and choose Create.
A dialog box appears in which you must select the type of search help.
Select Collective search help and choose .
The maintenance screen for collective search helps is displayed.
Enter an explanatory text in the field Short text.
You can for example find the search help at a later time using this short text.
In the Definition tab page enter the parameters of the collective search help.
Select the Imp flag if it is an import parameter. Select the Exp flag if it is an export parameter.
Define the types for the parameters of a collective search help by assigning a data element. Enter the name of the data element that describes the contents of the search help parameter in the Data element field.
You can assign the parameter a default value in the Default value field.
In exceptions it could be necessary to change the standard process defined by the search help. You can implement the deviation from the standard using a search help exit.
In this case enter the name of the search help exit in the corresponding field.
On the Included search helps tab page, define the search helps that you want to include in the collective search help.
You can include elementary search helps and collective search helps.
Use the Hide flag to control whether an included search help should appear in the dialog box for selecting the elementary search help. If the flag is set, the search help is not offered.
It makes sense to hide search help inclusions if one or more search paths in the standard system should not be used in a concrete R/3 System. Similarly, search help inclusions can also be already hidden in the standard system because they only can be used meaningfully in a few R/3 Systems. You have to cancel the flag in this case.
Position the cursor one after the other on each allocated search help and choose Parameter assignment.
In the next screen, enter the parameter names of the elementary search helps to which the corresponding parameters of the collective search help should be assigned in the field Reference parameter.
You can select the parameters contained in the included search help using the input help. Create a proposal for the assignment with Proposal.
Save your entries.
A dialog box appears in which you have to assign a development class to the search help.
Choose .
Result
The collective search help is activated. You can find information about the activation flow in the activation log, which you can display with Utilities ® Activation log. If errors occurred when the collective search help was activated, the activation log is automatically displayed.
Do not forget to link the search help to a screen field. The search help attachment is not part of the search help definition; it is part of the object definition to which the search help is attached.
Other Options
You can test the flow of an input help defined by the collective search help with . A dialog box appears in which you can simulate the behavior of the search help under different conditions. You can obtain information about the options provided in this window with .
Rewards some points .

    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Naveen,
    There's no difference to using a collective search help or a regular search help.
    in the attribute of the context that you want the search helps to appear for - specify that the input help is of type dictionary search help, then specify that the input help is your collective search help.
    Search helps in WDA, if search help is available at dictionary level, no need to create any search help, you get automatically.
    If you want to create search help for any input field, another option is using OVS. we have WDR_OVS component for search helps, you need to reuse this component in your custom component, just change some coding according to your requirements you get search help.
    Go through these documentation and helps...

  • Collective search help in PA30

    Hi Experts,
    I have followed the below steps to add new field in the Collective search help in PA30.
    1. Collective srch hlp for Employee is - PREM and the Elementary srch hlp for 'Last name - First name' is PREMN.
    2. You can change standard search help without access key. So you have to change PREMN.
    3. Selection Method used for PREMN is M_PREMN. Copy M_PREMN to ZM_PREMN.
    4. In Database view ZM_PREMN, add field RUFNM(Nick Name) in View Flds Tab.
    5. Assign Selection Method ZM_PREMN to PREMN.
    6. In secarh help parameter assign SPos filed 3 for newly added RUFNM(Nick Name).
    I have copied Selection method   M_PREMJ into ZM_PREMJ. From SE11 selected radio button u2018Viewu2019 and entered ZM_PREMJ then selected Change button.
    A new window pope up with options u2018Maint in orig. langu2019 and u2018Change orig. languageu2019.
    If I select u2018Change orig. languageu2019 then I am getting the following error
    View ZM_PREMJ contains inactive components
    If I select u2018Maint in orig. langu2019 then it will allowing for modifications. But when I activate I am getting following errors:
      Check view ZM_PREMJ (SAPUSER/01.08.11/13:02)
      View field ZM_PREMJ-PERNR (domains of the data elements not equal)
      Key field PA0002-OBJPS missing
      Key field PA0002-SEQNR missing
      Key field PA0002-SPRPS missing
      Key field PA0002-SUBTY missing
      All fields are evaluated as key field
      View ZM_PREMJ is not consistent
    Please guide me in adding a new field in PA30 Collective Search Help.
    Regards,
    Deepthi

    Hi Suman,
    Yes, it is activated now with some warning messages.
    After this in SE11, I have selected radio button u2018Search Helpu2019 and entered u2018PREMNu2019.
    And clicked on u2018Changeu2019 button, then I have two options u2018Maint in orig. lang,u2019 and u2018Main. in logon langu2019.
    I have selected u2018Main. in logon lang; (which option to be selected??)
    And replaced Selection method u2018M_PREMNu2018with ZM_PREMN, then activated.
    It was activated with warning and following are adjusted.
    SHLP EHS00SHLP_PREM was adjusted
    SHLP HREHS00PERSINTEXT was adjusted
    SHLP LO_OIF_PARTNER was adjusted
    SHLP PREM was adjusted
    SHLP PTRM_PREM_WEB was adjusted
    Up to here is fine, but when I tested in PA30 Collective search help, I can able to see new field u2018Nick Name but it is not working.

  • How can we create a Collective search help

    Hi all sap experts,

    Hi
    1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
    2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
    3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.
    4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
    5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.
    6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.

  • Adding elementry search help to SAP standard Collective Search help

    Hi,
    I had copied standard elementary search help to MAT0M to ZZ_MAT0M and added some more fields and activated to it.
    it got activated sucessfully.
    Now i have to attached the ZZ_MAT0M elementry search help to standard collective search help MAT1_A.
    How can i do that?
    can i add it directly to MAT1_A (sell --->search help <MAT1_A> changes --> in included search helpss tab using + (insert icon) )
    Thanks & regards

    I solved my problem :
    I had copied standard elementary search help to MAT0M to ZZ_MAT0M and added some more fields and copied Database View M_MAT1M to ZZ_M_MAT1M and addedd same fields and  activated both.
    both got activated sucessfully.
    Now i have to attached the ZZ_MAT0M elementry search help to standard collective search help MAT1_A and this Z-search help shd appear on the first tab.
    so I just went to collective search help MAT1_A in change mode --> click on "+" icon addedd my ZZ__ search help, save and activated it.
    If you dont really care in which tab your search help shd appear, then the best option is to use Append Search help.
    Note : if you are directly adding your search help in collective standard search help, then its better to remove hotkey form your custom elementry search help, as, if not remove will lead to warnings or make sure that you have unique hotkey in that collective search help.

  • Choose default Search Help in a collective Search Help

    Hello,
    In a collective search help, when it was launched, I want to open the same search help by default. In fact, the SAP standard keep in memory the last search help opened and when we re-opened it, the last search help in open.

    There are no standard solution BUT, in the Collective Search Help Exit, you can do a DELETE or a MODIFY on the DDSHDEFSH table (Default value - search help per user and collective s.h.).

  • Find collective Search Help for partner function at runtime

    Hi experts,
    I have a screen very similar to VF05. When I enter the partner function, the corresponding field for the partner function, I want a collective search help to open.
    If I enter the partner function - Employee responsible, then the search help PERM has to be called or for partner function Payer, I want the search help DEBI to be called. Can anyone let me know how can I get the related partner functions, without hardcoding for every partner function. Something similar to the VF05 report.

  • How to add check tables or search helps to search help parameters?

    Hello Forum!
    I have made a Z-Search help, and I have a problem with some of my parameters.
    The field (MARC)-EKGRP (Purchasing Group) has a check Table (T024) and the matching search help (H_T024).
    I seem to find no possibility to add this check Table search help to my EKGRP parameter in my Z-Searc Help.
    (Therefore, the End-User has to type it in Manually, there is no F4 funktionality...)
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thanx for replying!
    Kind Regards,
    Pieter
    PS: I´m experiencing the same problems with other fields as well: to parameter (MARA-)MFRNR I would like to add the seach Help 'KRED', for it appears on my Z-Search Help. And so on....

    Thanks, Archna Raja!
    This is certainly the right direction to look for a solution.
    However, i can not get it to work.
    In debugger Mode I have populated the SHLP-FIELDDESCR field 4AVAILABL  with X.
    Result: The button for the search help appears. But when I click on it, nothing happens.
    I than also tried this in combination with populating the fields:
    REFTABLE
    CHECKTABLE
    No search Help window opened..
    I did not find a fileld  where I can indicate the Search help in the SHLP Structure.
    Am I missing out on something?
    Kind Regards,
    Pieter
