Customizing WDA Search Helps

We are using the standard SAP search help DEBIE for the data element KUNNR but there are several features we wish to disable:
1) Personal Value List
2) Settings
3) "Restrict Number of Value List Entries To"
4) Advanced Options (yellow icons)
What possibilities are there to customize this in WDA?

Hello Marc,
I think we can do this via Search Help Exit. Check out the demo application WDR_TEST_DDIC_SHLP. In this check the option "Standadrd Test cases->Search Help Exits". Here they shown an example of hiding personal value list.
But I'm not sure how its done.. May be this can help you start with.

  • Heading texts not appearing correctly in WDA search help

    Hello experts,
    I am facing a problem in WDA. I have a field(Profile Key) in my WDA application which takes the input search help automatically from the data dictionary. When I execute my application the F4 help is displayed for the field on pressing F4 but the problem is: the heading texts are not appearing properly(instead dots are dispalyed) for few of the fields in the search help's value list. Some observations:
    1. heading texts are not properly displayed for columns whose field length is 1 or 2.
    2. in DDIC, heading labels are maintained for the logon language
    3. same search help works fine in R/3, the problem is only with WDA
    How can I solve this problem? Please help with your inputs.
    Thanks,
    Yuvaraj

    The problem can be solved by applying the note no 1100420.

  • How to make custom append search help tab default for all users?

    I've implemented my own search help append and I need to make the F4 search help to display my tab as default for all users. I know that search help stores the last tab used by the user in memory and when user uses the search help next time the last used tab is displayed but I have to make the system display the tab od my search help append always as default tab. Any idea how to do it?

    hi
    <b>Enhancement using Append structures</b>
        Append structures allow you to attach fields to a table without actually having to modify the table itself. You can use the fields in append structures in ABAP programs just as you would any other field in the table.
    Click on the append structure tab and opt to create new
    structure.
    Append structures allow you to enhance tables by adding fields to them that are not part of the standard. With append structures; customers can add their own fields to any table or structure they want.
    Append structures are created for use with a specific table. However, a table can have multiple append structures assigned to it
        Customers can add their own fields to any table or structure they want.
    The customer creates append structures in the customer namespace. The append structure is thus protected against overwriting during an upgrade. The fields in the append structure should also reside in the customer namespace, that is the field names should begin with ZZ or YY. This prevents name conflicts with fields inserted in the table by SAP

  • WDA Search Help Multiple Selection

    Hello everyone,
    I've managed to integrate a standard search help into my WD ABAP application.
    The thing is that from the search help pop-up I can select multiple rows but when I select more than 1 row in the help value list the OK button is greyed out.
    I would like to select more than 1 entry and transfer it back to the associated input field, like a list of values separated by a comma.
    How can I implement this?
    Thanks!

    To be honest I didn't mean that.
    I've integrated a standard search help in my WDA, just defining a context attribute bound to a dictionary field having a search help. Now I'd like to have a multiple selection enabled for it.
    What I am getting is a General Value List from which I cannot transfer multiple values back to the caller.
    Is there a way to do it?

  • Multiple return values in Customized elementary search help

    Hello,
      I have a requirement when i select the value from F4 . It should populate the more than one return values in ALV grid in different rows .  
       Any FM or help search exit  is available to do this .
    Regards,
    kevin

    Hi Kevin,
    About your first question, for filling several fields of an ALV from a single F4 search help, I think that you should register F4 event to call the search help yourself (F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST for instance), and fill the ALV fields inside your F4 handler method. If you used REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY, then I am not sure how you can handle F4, but you can do it using CL_GUI_ALV_GRID or SALV classes. See BCALV_TEST_GRID_F4_HELP.
    About the second question, for filling automatically another field in the same row in the ALV grid, it should work automatically, as for normal dynpros, i.e. the search help must have these 2 fields defined as exporting, and these 2 fields of the ALV field catalog must refer to the same DDic structure, the search help must be assigned there to the field, and fill in the 2 exporting parameters too.

  • Problem with custom search help for std SD_DEBI

    Hi,
    I have created a custom zcustom search help and included in std search help SD_DEBI.
    In the custom serach help i have added the fields ktokd and sales area fields(sales org, Disb channel, division).
    now when i goto va01 transaction and hit F4 for sold to party i was able view the KTOKD and sales area fields in the custom tab
    when i select the values from f4 help and hit enter they are not getting displayed in sold to party field.
    when i select only sales area fields from f4 and press enter they are getting displayed in sold to party field.
    problem is with the ktokd field that i have included.
    Any suggestions please let me know

    Hi deepti,
    I think you have missed parameter assignment from your Z append search help to standard search help.
    Select the search help and click on Param Assignment button and assign the refernece parameter(KUNNR) of your
    append search help to std collective search help (KUNNR).

  • Customer search help

    Hello,
    i want to add a telephonic search help to the customer search help(whenver we do F4 on the customer field, eg: xd01). what is the name of the customer's search help
    Thanks,

    Search helps are defined in the data dictionary (txn SE11).  I think you have two options....
    You can MODIFY the DEBI search help.  Modifications to standard SAP objects are not recommended.
    SAP also provides a flexible process to change the search help for customers.  This is usually done with help from the SD functional person.
    First- check the documentation.  In the IMG (txn SPRO), got to LOGISTICS GENERAL -> BUSINESS PARTNER -> CUSTOMERS -> CONTROL.
    Select the "document" icon at the far left of the DEFINE CUSTOMER MATCHCODES icon.  This is the documentation about the search help DEBI (formally called matchcode).
    Second- Execute the icon above this entry labeled CHECK SEARCH FIELDS FOR DEBTORS.  Here you can select the telephone number (TELF1) from the drop down list. 
    This needs to be coordinated with your functional team.  Normally NAME2 or ORT01 (city) is replaced.  This means that the replaced field will no longer be available in the search help.

  • About Running Remote Search Helps in SRM via Webdynpro ABAP

    Hi there,
    I am having troubles trying to implement an input help for a custom field in the standard Shopping Cart Portal page for item level.
    I would like to implement the same input help used in field Network of Activities, but as I can see in WDA component '/SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC', it seems to use another component in order to run a remote Search Help (I assume it is an original search help from PS system).
    Does anybody know how to use this backend search help WDA Component? (/SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH)
    I haven´t found any information regarding that :S.
    Another option would be to create a new RFC FM in PS returning the expected values, and use these entries to build a list value selector associated to the corresponding context attribute (This is not what I would like...)
    Thanks in advance!

    Figured it out.
    /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH is a 'freely programmed' search help used in SRM.
    1. Add this helpview (HV) component usage to your component controller, and view controller.
    2. Map HV SELECTION context to your view
    3. Modify the context attribute you want backend searchhelp to 'freely programmed', and select the component usage created in step above (note this is done dynamically in SAP code, b/c attribute is defined as dictionary search help in SAP components) -- this took a bit to figure out.
    4. IMPORTANT: Give your context attributes the SAME NAME (COST_CTR in my case) as those in structure /SAPSRM/S_CH_WD_MAP_ACC (how obvious was that)
    5. IMPORTANT: Set your LOGSYS in /SAPSRM/CL_PDO_VALHELP_FACTORY class - love those those factories (tic)
    DATA: lo_helper TYPE REF TO /SAPSRM/IF_PDO_ACCT_ASSGT_HLPR,
    CALL METHOD /SAPSRM/CL_PDO_VALHELP_FACTORY=>GET_ACCT_ASSGT_HELPER
    RECEIVING
    RO_ACC_ASSGT_HELPER = lo_helper.
    CALL METHOD lo_helper->set_searchhelp_control
    EXPORTING
    iv_logsys = ls_logsys-logsys.
    6. Now handle event DATA_SELECTED to get data from SELECTION, and move to your Context field.
    How simple was that? Yikes. I should have just built a custom dictionary search help to RFC over and call the BAPI for Cost Center List.

  • Enhancing standard (single select)search help for Multiple value selection

    Hi,
    Standard search help for Business Partner (in cProjects) allows only single value selection for input fields. I want to make this multiple selection.
    Is there a way to do it.
    I used an OVS and built a similar search but its difficult to get the standard options like saving to personal value list etc in it.
    It would be good if there is a way to modify the standard search help to allow multiple selection. Any ideas??
    Appreciate your help,
    Thanks,

    As far as I know you can't make a standard ABAP dictionary search help return multiple entries - where you get this sort of functionality the searches don't use the standard Elementary search help framework (e.g. organisational structure searches)
    Given that the WDA search help relies on these dictionary based searches, I'd think very much that you couldn't enhance it to return multiple. how you could even return multiple entries into a single UI element input field is also confusing to me.
    I'd suggest creating a freely programmed value help, it would certainly take quite some effort to recreate those personal value lists etc, but it could be done - I don't like OVS, but that just me.

  • Issue in CATS search help Hit List

    Hi All,
    At the moment we are facing an issue in CATS .
    We have added customer fields in the CATS data entry area by implementing CAT0005 and CAT0002 enhancements.
    One of customer filed we have created Search Help by using SE11 in that search help we have given default values in one of field and due to that on CAT2 transaction in the customer filed showing search help and that search help giving 2 records as hit list ( due to defaulting value in SE11 ).
    Now when user clicking on Record working time service in that when customer click upon custom filed search help its giving 30 records as hit list u2026( here the search help should give 2 records hit list )
    Any idea

    note that search help of CAT2 and record working time are different!
    these are teh steps
    please modify the following in the table TCATS_SHLP_ITS as follows:
              1. Execute the T-Code SM31
              2. Enter the table name TCATS_SHLP_ITS.
    or check the class
    CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP_GENERAL
    or check
    CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP*
    take an example from Sap note 914125

  • How-to map multiple explicit search help values to context attributes?

    Hi,
    I have a custom explicit Search Help with multiple attributes set as export and uses search help exit for data retrieval. I have set this Search Help for one of the context attribute that is binded to one of the input fields on view.
    Now, is it possible to dynamically map other export attributes from this Search Help to other Context attributes?
    I know this works for Input helps that are directly derived from check tables but not sure how to do it for explicit Search Helps.
    Can anyone please confirm and let me if this is possible? If yes, then can you please share an example or describe how to do it?
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi Srinivas,
    Check this ..Search help can be dynamically assigned to a field.
    data lo_nd_info type if_wd_context_node_info.

  • Change Search help for Location in Schedule creation screen(NWBC)

    Hi all,
    My requirement is to change the standard search help for Location field in Standard stop sequence of Schedule creation in NWBC.
    Presently, the search help for the location field is a webdynpro component WDR_F4_ELEMENTARY .Is there any possibility to replace with the custom search help.
    Can anybody please let me know how to replace the search help.
    Thanks&Regards,
    Sharmista.

    Hi
    I suppose you may create a component customizing for /SCMTMS/WDCC_SCH_C_LOC_ATS, and maintain your DDIC search help for location ID, this will replace the one assigned in structure:
    You may only maintain DDIC search help here, but if you have a custom developed search help, then you may need to go with another approach, in viewexit class (/SCMTMS/CL_UI_VIEWEXIT_SCH) adapt_fields (ADAPT_FIELDS), modify the attribute 'WD_VALUE_HELP' = custom search help.
    Hope it helps

  • Query in Search Help

    Hi Gurus,
    we have a custom elementry search help. It uses a view , which is a combination of 5 tables. Now I need to change the logic of this search help as below.
    If there are entries found in 1st table with combination of a 6th (another table) table. then Search help has to pick the values form that combination. else it has to pick the values from the first 5 tables combination.(i.e. the old logic)
    Can we create a new view in combination with the view(which has 5 tables) and with the 6th table?
    or how we have to write the code in exit?
    Please suggest the best way to get the output. this is the first time am working on search helps.
    Awaiting your response.
