Can't save ALV layout as user-specific

Hi!
Whenever I try to save an ALV layout the option User-specific is grayed out, so all variants will be public.
Users would like to save their own layouts safe from other users, as happens with program variants.
First of all then, is there any authorization object related to the User-specific option that my roles are missing?
I read somewhere that 'user-specific' option is controlled by auth. S_ALV_LAYO, ACTVT = 23, yet I have
this auth object with ACTVT = *.
Second, if this option was available, would this let users create their own layouts so that other users don't
overwrite them?
thanks
gracias

in the resue FM check the I_SAVE which value are you passing:
Value range
' ' = Display variants cannot be saved
Defined display variants (such as delivered display variants) can be selected for presentation regardless of this indicator. However, changes cannot be saved.
'X' = Standard save mode
Display variants can be saved as standard display variants.
Saving display variants as user-specific is not possible.
'U' = User-specific save mode
Display variants can only be saved as user-specific.
'A' = Standard and user-specific save mode
Display variants can be saved both as user-specific and as standard
variants. Users make their choice on the dialog box for saving the
display variant.

Segregation of global layout and user Specific for IW38 with Activity 23

Hi All,
We have issue that users are able to change the Global Layout in IW38 transaction codes, which is causing lot of confusion for other users. Please can anyone help me to do some investigation around how the access to Global Layout and User-Specific layout can be segregated.
We would like to achieve below things:
1)     Can we control provision access in such way users can only change layout specific to them?
2)     They should not be able to change Global Layout
3)     List of roles having Authorization object S_ALV_LAYO with activity 23.
If anyone already faced this issue, can you please let me know how they resolved it
Thanks in Advance.

Hi David,
> The standard S_ALV_LAYO object is, so far as I know, no use for normal day to day end users as it over-rides the restrictions?
It's up to the business, but ours wanted the managers to set a global layout for all other users to display only... as sort of a standard report. I agree with you in the challenge of determining who to give the long-term S_ALV_LAYO w/23 global maintenance access. We used to have this S_ALV_LAYO in every role that contained a report access (honest design mistake), hence that is why we created a separate role contained just S_ALV_LAYO w/ 23 access --> to managers only.
In our generic system role that is given to everyone, we have both S_ALV_LAYO (as blank) and F_IT_ALV (as 01, 02) so all non-manager users are able to create/save local layout & still view global layout.
F_IT_ALV activity 70 gives the authority to overwrite other's local layout (the "Manage Layout" access), so we only gave 01 and 02. Be careful here, as giving 03 (display) will make all other activities inactive.
Best,
Alice

Changing Default Layout Setting - User-specific

Dear Gurus,
This is related to general ALV Layout setting. When we choose Select Layout -> Choose Layout, the default layout setting will show All, is there any way by which we can change this to User-specific Layouts by default? (may be through some parameter id?).
Many Thanks!
Best Regards,
Sree.

Hi ,
Can you explain me your requirement in detail.

Save ALV Layout

Hi
I need to save chaged layout in ALV GRID DISPLAY
I am using I_save = 'A' but iam unable to save the layout
wat could be reason
Give me suggestion
Regards

first declare two variables :
it_variant LIKE disvariant,
      it_variant_return LIKE it_variant.
then declare parameter for variant on selection screen.
PARAMETER p_vari LIKE disvariant-variant.
and then use this function module which will provide u f4 help for parameter on selection screen.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_vari.
it_variant-report = sy-repid.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4'
    EXPORTING
      is_variant    = it_variant
      i_save        = 'A'
    IMPORTING
      es_variant    = it_variant_return
    EXCEPTIONS
      not_found     = 1
      program_error = 2
      OTHERS        = 3.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE 'S'      NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ELSE.
    p_vari = it_variant_return-variant.
ENDIF.
and finally pass this variant to REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
as.....
is_variant             = it_variant_return
after all this when u run ur report then in the tool bar u will see save layout option which will be the last one them save it with that name. next time when ever u run that report then it will give u name of variant in the parameter a sf4 help.
plz reward point if helpful.
with this u will sure use variant.

Can I save the layout for a table?

I'm using Hyperion Intelligence Explorer 8.3 on Windows XP/SP3.
There is one section of a report I use that I like to convert to an Excel spreadsheet.
I use the Insert Table function. Then layout all the columns from that section.
Then do an Export Section. Which works just fine.
What slows me down is that every time I do this I have to select off all of the columns for the report.
Which takes a while.
What I'm wondering is if there is some way that I can speed up this process.
For example, if I could save the layout once and re-use it for future reports that would be wonderful.
The columns are always the same. But maybe there is an even better way to convert this
section to Excel?
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

Yes, one section of a .bqy file. The entire file has about 20 sections.
I'm usually interested in just one of those sections.
I think it is a results section. How can I check to make sure?
It is a nicely formatted report. With columns and rows. Headers above each column.
Totals on selected columns. It could easily be mistaken for an Excel spreadsheet.
Yes, I would be happy to get all of the columns into Excel. From there it would
be easy to hide/delete the ones I don't need.
I have tried doing a File/Export/Section. Save as type 'Excel (.xls)'.
That processing works without error and builds the .xls file.
But I don't think it is really an .xls file. When I try to open it Excel complains that the
filetype doesn't match the actual contents. When I say OK, the file opens.
It's pretty messy. Some of the data rows are correct. But the column headers are all messed up.
Rather than go left to right the column headers are one after another vertically.
And a column header with two words gets spread over two rows.
So 'First Name' becomes
First
Name
What it actually looks like is some sort of .txt file. But it doesn't seem to have any commas or tabs
that could be used to delimit the fields.
Now when I go through the 'Insert Table' process and then Export that section I do get a 'real' .xls file.
And it is formatted just fine.
Well, I really appreciate the interest and help. Just let me know what I can try and I'll give it a whirl!

How can i save changes made to user accounts?

Hello everybody!
Well, this is my very first question to the community and i really hope you guys are able to help me!
Now my problem is as followed: On my MacBook Pro i use an Admin Account for personal usage, and then i got a Guest Account for everybody else than myself using my Mac.
A few days ago i spent almost an hour setting up my guest account in appearence and other general settings, i.E. the trackpad reaction or multi touch gestures. Afterwards, i logged out my guest account and shut off my mac. Then, another day afterwards i restarted my mac and checked, if those changes took effect. Now, surprisingly, the Guest User account was completely resettet and used something what looks to me like a standard setup.
How can i change this? How can i set up a Guest Account with certain rights, a specific wallpaper and only selected apps available?
Thank you for your help and have a nice day!

That is what the Guest User account is for - did you see this when you logged out of the Guest Account?
What you need to do is to set up a new account that is not the system installed Guest Account with a name of your choosing.
Regards.

How can I save the cache/cookies for specific websites but delete all other cache/cookies upon exiting Firefox?

I am using Firefox 14.0.1. I have it set to delete cache/cookies on exit, keeping my "foxden" clean. However, if I want to save the cache and cookies for a particular website, i.e a flash game that will save my current level, I cannot unless i disable the cache -clearing feature.
I would like to be able to "add an exception" to the cache-clearing or at the very least, be able to copy the relevant files for that page and paste them back before opening Firefox again.
Any ideas?

That is not possible.<br />
You can only clear the entire cache.
If you do not want specific content to get cached or written to disk then you need to switch on Private Browsing.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
* https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox3.1/PrivateBrowsing/SecurityReview#Configuration
For cookies you must not use clear history, but let all cookies expire when you close Firefox and make an allow exception for cookies from domains that you want to keep.

Can i save screen layouts in OL?

Looks like I have to scroll down to find some of the tools. I reposition some but can't seem to re-size them. Is there a way to save my workspace?

Okay... Now that made me laugh. Err, I mean LOL!
Paul, you can "sort of" save your workspace. If you move components out of the way, then move others into their space. You can close other components completely (obviously). You can't resize the components to a more convenient size. How ever you re-arrange the components is how OnLocation will open again on the next use. Not exactly what you were looking for, but there's some flexibility.
If you ever want to reset it to the original layout, launch Onlo with the Shift and Ctrl keys held down.

I can't save my documents in a specific folder.

Pages says that my file does not exist and I'm not trying to open it, I'm trying to save it. I run Pages 5.5.2 in OS X 10.10.2. Pleas help, I've made a mess with my documents due to that problem.
Pages won't save my documents where I want, I need to save them in the Documents folder and the move them into the new folder I created.

The iOS versions of the iWork apps uses the same format as iWork '09 so it is not surprising that the files open there. This sure sounds like an older version of Pages is tryiing to open the files. I rarely create documents on my iOS devices, but I just did a test. I created a very simple Pages document on my iPad then downloaded it from iCloud.com on my Mac mini running Snow Leopard & Pages 4.0.4. It opened without problems.
Pages 4.2 is not the latest version for Mountain Lion, 4.3 is. Although I doubt that update would make a difference in your problem, it's definitely worth updating. You can download the standalone updater from this page if Software Update doesn't find it. If updating doesn't work, I suggest doing a Spotlight search for "Pages.app" (without the quotes).

Can't save/update advanced action with specific slide set to jump to

Using version 6. Experienced with Advanced Actions, but no clue what's causing this. If I include a "Jump to Slide" pointing at a certain slide in the project the action will not save or update. I can point at any other slide except the one I need. Nothing especially unique about the slide in question.

When you save/update, does it give any error/prompt?
Try creating a fresh script just with the action to jump to 'that' slide.
Also check from a regular button, if you can set on Success to jump to the particular slide.
Thanks,

Finder can't eject USB Flash drives, User Specific

I am unable to unmount any file drive that is attached to my computer using Finder for my main user profile. (USB, SDHC, Hard drives, flash cards, flash drives, etc) I don't get any error messages at all (nor does anything show up in the Console log). If I hit command+e, click the eject button, or drag the drive to the trash, nothing happens at all.
I can use the "sudo umount f /Volumes/etc" command in terminal, and can eject using Disk Utility. No matter what I do, I can't get it to work in Finder. I've tried restarting the computer, finder, spotlight but to no avail. I have fixed permissions, reinstalled Lion, deleted and reinstalled my User account, but none of these things has fixed my issue.
I am at my wit's end, and would really like to avoid trashing this user and starting fresh.

Hi
You have to create a NOT User specific layout. This will be available for all the users depending on your security authorization. You cannot move a user specific layout from one id to another

Layout is it User-specific or Standard ?

I have an ALV report that contains user specific layout and standard layout. My question is if user enters the layout name in the selection screen . i wanted to know whether the layout is user-specific or standard layout.
How we can differentiate this ?
a®

Layouts can be saved for specific users or for all users.
User-specific layouts are only visible to the users who have created them.
Layouts for all users can be selected by all users. These layouts always start with a forward slash in the name (for example, /Standard).
The layouts are report-dependent and you can only create, change or delete them within the display of the respective ALV list. User-specific layouts can only be changed or deleted by the user who created them.
To save layouts for all users, you need the authorization S_ALV_LAYO with activity 23 as of Release 4.6C. You can only go to the layout administration if you have this authorization.
You must maintain the authorization object S_ALV_LAYO using the user administration.
If you would like to use or save the Excel view in your layout, you also require the additional authorization S_BDS_DS with activity 01,02,03,06,30; CLASSNAME ALVLAYOUTTEMPLATES and CLASSTYPE OT.
Furthermore, there are applications that have their own authorization checks installed.
In some ALV lists, you can only save user-specific layouts. In these cases, the indicator "user-specific" is active , on a grey background and unable to be changed. This is related to the parameter I_SAVE. This controls which options you have to save the layout.
To be able to define default layouts, the parameter I_DEFAULT must have the value 'X'.
Notes 409190 and 601803 also provide further information on authorizations.

How to set user specific Layout for executing IW38/IW39 report.

Create Variant using SHD0 and with Group and assign to particular user's
Here is the steps
Creating a Variant Group
1. Open transaction SHD0, enter the transaction code, and press enter.
2. Choose the Standard Variants tab page, and then the sub tab page Variant Groups, and enter a group name, such as GROUP_GEN
3. Choose Create. Enter a short text on the Maintain Variant Group window that appears and save the variant group.
Assigning Users
Once you have created the variant group and the relevant transaction variants with screen variants, you now need to assign users to the variant group as follows
1. Return to the Standard Variants tab page, Variant Groups sub tab page.
2. Enter the name of a user that you want to assign to this variant group, and choose Assign. A message that this user was successfully assigned to the variant group appears in the status bar. If you choose a where-used list for users, this user is displayed in the user list.
3. However, for the screen variants of the variant group that you created above to be displayed for the user, you first need to select Set Proposal. The user is assigned to the group and the associated transactions are started with the corresponding variants only once you choose the Set Proposal function.
You can use this procedure of user assignment for all other users that you want to add to the variant group
Hope this helps.
Thanks
