Can "Variants" also become User Specific like "Layouts"?

Hi Friends,
As you know we can create user specific or non-user specific (Global) layouts for our reports (Standard or Z Reports).
My question is that is it possible to create user specific Variants also or variants are by default global and can be used by every user id?
If we can create user specific variants, how can we do that?
Regards,
CK

Hello CK,
When you create variants, it will be automatically listed in the list of variants available and yes, as you say, any user can see that in SAP screen, however, user can opt to use or not these variants and it will not automatically be the default value of all SAP users.
Thanks, hope this helps.

  • Copy user-specific report layouts (table LTDX)

    Hi,
    We are implementing a "Single Sign On" solution and thus we need to
    copy all the SAP users to adapt their names to "windows user names".
    We copy all the user data and authorizations from SU01 but then we must
    copy too all the other user-dependent things. One of them are user-
    specific report layouts. We can copy the report variants because they
    are not user-dependent but is there any way to copy the user-specific
    layouts (table LTDX) from one user to another? Is there any transaction
    or report for it?
    Thanks in advance and best regards,

  • User Specific Screen Layout in FB50

    Dear Friends,
    We are trying to change the sequence of fields in FB50 for a specific user.
    Earlier there was an option in to change the screen layout, it was a variant sign on the right hand top side of screen but It is not there in the FB50 screen.
    SHD0 does this setting for all the user ?
    Is there any way to achieve this for a specific user .
    Thanks,

  • User specific ALV Layout

    In my ALV report - Go to Settings - Layout - Save. The User-Setting checkbox is grayed out. How do I turn it on.

    Sorry for the late reply probably this git resolved already, but the solution is that this needs some authorization:
      Object Class BC_Z Basis - Central Functions
        Authorization Obj. S_ALV_LAYO ALV Standard Layout
          Authorization Field ACTVT Activity
                                                                                    23
    You can get the info when checking transaction SU53 afteryou see the greyed out "user defined" flag even if the programming for i_save is set to 'X' or 'A'.

    Do I need to re-download iTunes and start over?

    Hello Mike,
    No, you shouldn't need to worry about your iTunes library being infected with a virus.  As to the restore message on your Nano, have you tried restoring it via iTunes yet?

  • User specific default layout in BCS

    Dear all,
    We set a default layout in BCS for all users.
    Know I wonder if it is possible to set a different default layout (in Total Records) for a certain group of user?
    Any one an idea?
    Regards,

    Hi,
    What do you mean by 'layout'? Layout for budget in FMBB? In this case, each user is free to select to him(her)self the layout to work with.

  • User Specific Transaction Variant

    Hi,
    Can i please have guidelines for Transaction variant creation, specially user specific transaction variant creation along with example?
    Regards,
    Samir Wadajkar

    Dear
    Please see this wiki for useful :http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Transaction%20Variant%20-%20A%20Step%20by%20Step%20Guide%20for%20Creation
    OR
    Go to SHD0
    Enter the transaction code - Enter the transaction variant YXXX under transaction variants tab
    Create - the transaction variant. When you back after creating .... Save all the screens and do a syntax check - this will take you to different screen - Just execute and come back
    You should now be in SHD0 with your transaction code as well as transaction variant.
    Now, go to 'GOTO' on application tool bar - Create transaction variant. Do not check 'Inherit GUI attributes' under classification and check all under GUI SUPPORT
    Execute your newly create Ytransaction
    Go back to SHD0 again and repeat the same process but enter different name than previous one. do the exact same process.
    Create new transaction which means enter different transactio name like if the previous one is yxxx1 ... create this as yxxx2.
    You can take the standard transaction from every user or who you dont want to give by removing the authorization from user master (talk to security people)
    Hope this will be usefull

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Layout - User specific - this needs to be unchecked.

    Dear friends,
    We have created a Layout in the Report.  By default, User-specific tick is coming while saving the Layout.  Others are not able to select this report.  How to uncheck this tick ??
    Regards
    KVKR

    It is most definitely an authorization issue.  You, like any security auth issue, should be able to type in /NSU53 and see what authorization objects you have and which ones were checked that failed.  That should give you the auth object/value you need to maintain global display variants.  Please note though that a lot of companies lock this down heavily as having this access not only gives you the ability to create new variants but also update other global layouts and change the default settings. 
    From what I have typically seen IT has the global display authorizations and per the user requests creates them and makes them available for others.  Where this isn't in place I've seen the global layouts get all out of whack and we got many phone calls saying "this never used to look this way before so fix it!"
    Check out OSS Note 409190 but in summary "There is the authorization object S_ALV_LAYO with the authorization field 'ACTVT' (activity) and the value '23' for "Maintain".All ALV versions (Classic, Grid Control and Grid in fullscreen) perform an authorization check against this object.Users whose profile contains the value '23' are then allowed to create and maintain standard layouts and save them as defaults.
    The authorization object can be checked via transaction SU21, object class BC_Z, S_ALV_LAYO and only exists from Release 46C."
    Hope that helps.

  • 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.
    For further details ..

  • User specific layouts

    Hi
    I'm new to adobe forms.
    Is it possible to have user specific layouts in adobe forms like we have for say ALV?
    I can't see any option in the layout tab to save a particular layout.
    If not then what are the other options available to achieve this?
    Thanks
    Pushpraj

    Hello,
    you have 2 options:
    1) create multiple layouts for a single interface (layout variant at design time, created by the developer, not the user)
    2) pass all the data into the form and add some information about what data does the user want to see
    (note: everything must be send to the form, only part will be hidden according to the customizing)
    in the form you will use scripting (to control the form behavior) to hide the fields the user does not want to see.
    Extra: Maybe you could: Let the user create an ordinary ALV layout and save it
    On runtime, before generating the form, you can check the layout and hide the fields in the form (through the "customizing" structure where you mark something like COL1 = 'X' for visible and COL2 = '' for invisible and make that happen through scripting).
    There is no other way. There is no way user can create his own variant, it always must be a developer, who creates the variants. I am sorry I cannot help you with the user side customizing since there is no such thing.
    Regards Otto

  • User specific variant (how to )

    Hi gurus,
    i have made one report. in this report we need different layout.
      i have user reuse_alv_grid_display .
      our requirement is we want to create one default layout and other user specific layout.
    so if user doen't have his ownlayout then we want to display default layout otherwise display that user specific layout.
    i am not able to figure it out how it works in this function module.
       call function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
           exporting
                i_callback_program          = g_repid
                i_structure_name            = 'ZSDMATATP'
                it_fieldcat                 = zfield
              it_sort                     = sortcat[]
                I_DEFAULT                   = 'X'
                i_save                      = 'U'
                is_variant                  = g_variant

        message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
                with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
      endif.
    please tell me where i made mistake.
    Thanks,
    Jignesh.

    1. Put one parameter on the screen like:
    PARAMETERS : P_VAR LIKE DISVARIANT-VARIANT obligatory.
    2. Assign the F4 help for that parameter
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR P_VAR.
    DATA:       W_VARIANT LIKE DISVARIANT.
      CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4'
        EXPORTING
          IS_VARIANT    = W_VARIANT
          I_SAVE        = e_save        "Was 'A'
        IMPORTING
          ES_VARIANT    = W_VARIANT
        EXCEPTIONS
          NOT_FOUND     = 1
          PROGRAM_ERROR = 2
          OTHERS        = 3.
      IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
        P_VAR = W_VARIANT-VARIANT.
      ELSE.
        W_VARIANT-REPORT = SY-REPID.
      ENDIF.
    3. Pass this W_VARIANT to FM
    CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
        EXPORTING
          IS_VARIANT         = W_VARIANT
    By this way, user has to select at least one variant. He can pull down the F4 help for avaliable variants. He can see the default one alongwith his own variants if he has any.
