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.

ALV Grid Layouts - Setting them user-specific

Hi everybody -
I am using the ALV grid layout for a report using function module REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY. There are a number of fields that are not immediately viewed on screen - they are in hide mode within the field catalog. We want to allow the users to add them / remove them from the report using an ALV variant.
I can allow the users to add/remove with a layout variant no problem - but I am having an issue allowing them to save the variant that they are using to view the data, as user-specific. For whatever reason, they are only allowed to save their layout variants as global - the "User-specific" box is grayed out.
Does anyone know how I can get the "User Specific" box to be NOT grayed out within an ALV grid?
Thanks!
Abby

Set the I_SAVE parameter to 'U' in your function call.

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: Deselecht the indicator user-specific

Hi,
I would like to save a layout and the only possibility that I have ist user-specific.(the field ist already select
wenn I call the layout)
How can I deselect the indicator user specific. All users of the list has to call the layout.
Thanks

Hi,
User specific layout usually starts without "/" ,if you want to make the layout defaul and will be accessible to all users then ,go to change layout ,add "/ " and make the layout as default.You can find layout management option in Select > Layout option,use the layout management to make any layout defualt in system.
Hope this will resolve your issue.

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

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
      IMPORTING
          e_exit_caused_by_caller     = exit_caused_by_caller
          es_exit_caused_by_user      = exit_caused_by_user
       tables

       exceptions
            program_error               = 1
            others                      = 2.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    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.

RAGITT_ALV01 managment standard & user-specific layouts

Hi Guru,
How can I manage the report's layouts f.g. report RAGITT_ALV01, F8, ctrlF9 or CtrlF12
My users notoriously save theirs layouts as standard layout /RAGITTALV01 so I should close their permission to change standard layout. How can I do it?
Moreover where can I manage all layout so I have to do some order. I am adm.
Regards,
Betta

Hi,
They are'nt the helpful transactions.
The user runs report Asset History Sheet Based on Posted Depreciation (program RAGITT_ALV01) and there is the layout (CtrlF8) which is save (CtrlF12) as no user-specyfic with name begins / The users should only create own layout with 'Z' or 'Y' first letter name and mustn't create with the first letter name '/'
I have to take off the access (for particulary users) to save as the name begins sign '/' (=no user specific) so that the users can only save layout user-specific
Moreover I have to delete some incorrect or useless layouts which were saved by users.
Do you know how can I do it?
Regard,
Betta

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.
