Definition of people centric?

Dear all,
forgive my ignorance and if this is off topic but I came across that expression when I read an announcement concerning mySAP CRM and wonder what is all about.
From the expression I would expect that the user not the process is on focus of the design, am I right? Is it just that and what, if any, is the difference to user-centered?
When I searched SAP Help I found the expression only in context with CRM - but I would expect that concepts like ESS have also a people centric approach. Are there more (to come?)?
I really would appreciate if somebody could help me out with some details or comments on the subject.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hello Christian,
I think you should ask the SAP Marketing Guys at SAP Community what they mean with people centric. SDN is more focused on the technical aspects.

F1 help in people centric?

Hi all,
I have configured my people centric scenario (adding tabs, custom fields etc...). I wish configure F1 help as in SAP GUI for several fields but i dont know if this is possible only using customizing points or if i have to use some development effort.
Could anyone help me please?
Thanks in advance.

Hi RAJESHWAR
My requirement is more from system user perspective. Lets say an end-user is new to CRM environment/application. He/she has to enter value in a particular field in UI, but doesnot know what that field represents. Then how he/she will come to know about it?
In GUI through F1 help, I can get this information.
Thanx & Regards

Hi Chinmaya,
You have to first check whether your field to be added is available in the structure assigned to that Field group. In this case structure COMT_BSP_BP_SEAREQ_BUS1006. You can check this in SE11.
If available then you have to add that particular field in SPRO transaction for Field Group structure (Application Element-> Field Group -> Field group structure. In your case for Field Group BUP_BUS1006_SEARCH_04. Specify your View, sequence and other field details while doing so.
Then generate the field group in SPRO ( Application Element-> Field Group -> Layout generation) for your view.
Then you can view the field in PCUI.
If the field is not available in structure then it is a complex process.

People Centric CRM

Hello Guys..
What is People Centric CRM ?
How it is related with My SAP CRM ?
What is the Importance of People Centric CRM in My SAP CRM ?

vamshi

Its a web based user interface that can be used for front end users as was said previously. Using this allows users to not have to log in directly to a SAP GUI to use the system, all they would need is a browser to access it. There is actually a room here on SDN just below the general & framework room. It's here: [SAP CRM: People Centric UI (Read Only Archive);
In many cases now, the IC Webclient can take the place of the PCUI, especially depending on the version of CRM you are using.

People-centric/enterprise portal

Hiya Guru's
Got a problem .I have customised my webclient but cannot execute the people-centric UI.I am currently using a 4.0 server (IDES) and the institution cannot help because they claim that they do don have any access.can any one suggest ways on how i could get access to people- centric.? Does 5.2 server have the access to people-centric UI? if so, can you suggest any provider who can give me access at a fee?

Hi
This does not seem to be a VC related question. Please can you try and post this on another forum.

Customer Prospect in People Centric UI

Hi together,
can somebody explain to me, how to create an iView to create customer prospect in Portal?
I found two OSS-notes where I found the information, that I have to copy the BSP and to add my own view on to the customer (ie. OSS-note 712481).
In the iView "account", of the crm business package, there is called the BSP bsp_frame. In Customizing of the application CRMM_ACCOUNT (which is also defined in the iView) there is the package CRM_BSP_MODEL_IL_BP assigned. In this package I only found only the BSP-Application "crm_prn_acc_ov" - but I think this is not the account BSP.
Have anybody an idea, which BSP-Application I have to copy? Where I'll give in the new iView the information for the new BSP-Application? Which steps I have to do in customizing?
Thanks and regards
Thomas

From OSS-Note 712481:
<i>In the SAP GUI, business partner roles (BP roles) represent different views for a business partner.
This function is implemented in a different way in the People-Centric UI.
SAP delivers the "Account" and "Competitor" People-Centric UI applications with CRM Release 3.1 and CRM Release 4.0 - two views for the business partner. The "Contact person" application represents a special view for the contact person relationship of a business partner.</i>
I'm working with CRM 4.0 and Portal-Application. The proplem is, that I wan't to create(!) business partners in the role prospect (BUP002) and additional in role general (00000). SAP delivers only two iViews one to create business partners in role "sold-to" (CRM001) and one to create competitors (CRM005) (see OSS-Note).

People-Centric UI and BSP possibilities...?

Brian, I posted this thread since I haven't got any response from Mark Finnern in the SDN Suggestions Forum, yet. In my humble opinion this area is definately an area that should receive more attention here. Exspeciall from a SAP CRM and SP HR perspective in combination with BSP development this is a very valid and promising area. Eventhough SAP's stance is that as of Portal v6.0 sp8 the PC-UI capabilities should focus around WebDynpro, they still do not (I tested with Portal v6.0 sp9 and BSP's are still used. Can you consider my original request to create a seperate PC-UI thread? Thanks in advance for your thoughts, Tiest.

Tiest,
There are basically two arguments at the moment that swings the decision.
(1) Critical mass. SDN prefers only to open a new forum when they can see critical mass of discussions on any topic. Which also includes (in my personal opinion) support from the internal SAP group (to help moderate and provide deep technical help). What is usually done is to have the group develop in another forum, and later when critical mass is there, open a new forum. In this you can discuss PCUI in BSP forum. But we are still missing critical mass. I have emailed before the internal development group, and see some colleagues from time to time here. But still not at the level that it is going to carry an own forum. The time is not yet ripe.
(2) Within SDN there (until now) no real application related forums. Just low level platform forums. It see nothing speaking against this, it is just status quo. Recommended is also to look at the SAP Community. They have strong application related forums. See http://www.sap.com/community.
One remark: we will NOT accept any discussion here about the reasons for SDN versus SAP Community, which one is better, etc. Any post with comments on this topic will deleted without comment. Do not do it.

Special Features in the People-Centric UI

Hi experts,
I found the following text in help.sap.com
" You can send a selected contact person an e-mail or a fax. An activity, which can be displayed on the tab pages Activities and Interaction History, is created in the background for this transaction. Using the hyperlink you can navigate to the relevant transaction in the application Activities, where the texts of the e-mail as well as attachments to the e-mail are stored."
Can someone guid me to implement this feature? I want see the E-Mails in interaction history.
Thanks for help.
Alex

Hi,
you should try the following:
1. Check your transaction customizing - in the standard system there is the transaction type 0003 - outgoing mail and 0004 - incoming mail.... - check if these transaction types are active...
2. Go to customizing - Main functions - and choose one-to-one e-mail - enter the transaction types.
3. go to the activity application and choose the button - e-mail... now you can write a new e-mail...
4. to use the incoming e-mail functionality you should read the help of the one-to-one e-mail customizing, because there is a realy simple way to work with e-mail integration with outlook! You can also use the transaction CRM_EMAIL_OUTLOOK in the gui...

Using People Centric BSP without Portal Stylesheet

Hi,
we upgraded to CRM 5.0 (WAS 7.00 SP 10). Now we face problems with the company's portal stylesheet with our PC UI applications.
Has anyone around here an idea how we can use SAP standard stylesheet without modifying our system (for example in CL_HTMLB_CONTENT)?
Best regards,
Gerald

People-Centric User Interface

Hi all,
I have recently started working on PCUI in CRM. In IMG (CRMC_BLUEPRINT_C) when i try to create a custom EVENT, it needs to be created with one of the following USAGE type:
Layout Relevant
Functionally Relevant
layout/ Functionally relevant..
May I know what is the significance of these various usages..
Warm Regards,
Abhijeet.

Hi Abhijeet,
It specifies whether the Event gets trigerred for layout or for functionality.
Layout-relevant: The triggered event only influences the layout.
Function-relevant: The triggered event only has functional relevance.
Layout-relevant and functional-relevant: The triggered event has both functional relevance as well as influence on the layout.
Example: An event for a tab page is usually only relevant for the layout. Actions like saving data do not usually take place. An event like SAVE on the other hand, only has functional relevance, as here, no new screen areas need to be structured, and existing areas are only refreshed.
Regards,
Karthik.

People Refinement Panel not displaying "Department" filter category.

I am trying to create people directory in SharePoint 2010. I am using "People Search Core Result" web-part and "People Refinement Panel" web-part.
Following is the screen of my "People Search Core Result" webpart properties:
Following is the "Filter category Definition" in "People Refinement Panel"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FilterCategories>
<Category Title="Department" Description="Use this filter to restrict results to a specific department" Type="Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.WebControls.ManagedPropertyFilterGenerator" MetadataThreshold="5" NumberOfFiltersToDisplay="4" MaxNumberOfFilters="20" SortBy="Frequency" SortByForMoreFilters="Name" SortDirection="Descending" SortDirectionForMoreFilters="Ascending" ShowMoreLink="True" MappedProperty="DepartmentR" MoreLinkText="show more" LessLinkText="show fewer" />
<Category Title="View" Description="View matches by" Type="Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.WebControls.RankingModelFilterGenerator" MetadataThreshold="3" NumberOfFiltersToDisplay="3" ShowMoreLink="False" MappedProperty=""/>

</FilterCategories>
I have unchecked "Use Default Configuration" in "People Refinement Panel" web-part.
I can only see "Job Title" in refinement panel.
In above xml code, the metadata property "DepartmentR" is mapped to "People:Department(Text)". I even full crawled after creating this property but this property never appears in Refinement Panel. I even performed full profile synchronization
in User Profile Application but still no luck.
Please help.

Make sure the managed property has the following set
1. Allow Property to be used in scopes: Ticked
2. Reduce storage requirements for text properties by using a hash for comparison: Ticked
3. Add managed property to custom results set retrieved on each query. Note: Only the first 2 kilobytes of data is available for display by default: Ticked
