Layout Set - Suggestions?

Overview
I have a KM iView that allows users to create forms and store them in a KM folder (/documents/broadcasts).
So when the user accesses the iView they see a left Menu Tree displaying:
Broadcast
     - Folder 1
     - Folder 2
     - Folder 3
When the user clicks on their folder they see the forms they have created. In order to create a new form the user clicks Folder->New->Forms this allows them to select between News or Announcement. When they make a selection the correct form shows up etc...
Everything works fine but I would like to simplify things for the End users. Here is what I would like to change:
Issue 1
There is a horizontal menu above the Menu Tree showing 5 context menus (View, Folder, Selection, GoTo, and Search). I really don't want users to have access to all of these menus but since I didn't create any of this I am unsure how to remove the menus. I am assuming they come with the Layout Set used for the iView?
Issue 2
Having the user click Folder->New->Forms is also very confusing and I would rather have just the New menu at the top (as WPC shows) which gives the user the News and Announcement options. So they would Click New->Forms or just New->
If anyone has any suggestions or pointers I would appriciate it.

Hi TA,
I would suggest using 2 layout sets... The NewsExplorer layout set for the sub-folders and maybe ConsumerExplorer for the root layout set. The iView would have the "Layout Set" as NewsExplorer and the "Layout Set for Root Collection" as ConsumerExplorer.
You might need to make a copy of the NewsExplorer layout set and add the 'Back' button to the collection renderer so users can get back out of the sub-folders.
Issue 1 will be handled by the fact that you're not using the AdminExplorer or other Tree List with Menu layout set.
Issue 2 should be handled by the NewsExplorer layout set which just gives a list of the Forms available to the folder with 'new' in front.
[New News|] [New Announcement|]
ItemListRenderer 1
ItemListRenderer 2
Good-Luck.
Regards,
Graham

HP 8600 Officejet Pro stuck on layout setting of long-edge binding (duplex printing)

My HP 8600 Officejet Pro 8600 is stuck on a layout setting for printing of long-edge binding (duplex printing). It's conected to a mac running OSX 10.8.4 Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
From the application used to print click on File and the select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click the blue triangle next to the printer name to see all available settings.
In the expanded Print window you will find next to Copies the checkbox for Two-Sided. Check the box.
NOTE: If the checkbox does not appear within the specific application print dialog, skip this step.
Click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
6. Set the Two-Sided option as the required binding or select Off to disable it.
Click on Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset and perform the print job... the settings will remain default till another preset will be used.

    Document1              30KB 1-mar-06 user1

Requirement based Layout Set

Hi,
Our user has following requirements for an iview appearance.The iview (let us suppose it a km navigation iview)
is pointing to one folder.It shows all documents internal to the Folder.There should be no context menu as these documents are meant for readers not for editors (we have a different iview for editors).
The Problem is sometimes there can be folders internal to the folder, in that case we are not able to come back as there is no breadcrumb bar.Presently we are using NewsBrowser Layout.
At last I want to summarise the requirements
1) The Documents or Folders should not have context menu.
2) the list of documents should appear as links.
3) there should be breadcrumb bar available so as there are folders internal to folders + Documents and we need to come back to the Folder again.
Note: the News Browser Layout is fulfilling all the requirements apart from the fact that it is not showing breadcrumb bar.
It would be nice if we can change this Layout by adding breadcrumb bar.I have tried this by changing the Collection renderer but not success full.
Please suggest any Layout which can fulfill these requirements.Otherwise please suggest how can we create a customized Layout set for fulfilling above requirements

Go to System Administration --> System Configuration --> Knowledge Management --> Content Management --> User Interface --> Settings --> Layout set.
Search for the layout set you want to add the collection renderer to using the "Apply Filter" option.
Edit your Layout set.
When you click on edit after choosing a layout set, you will see a property called "Collection renderer" in the layout set definition. It is a table with lots of entries. Scroll down to your collection renderer and click on the checkbox next to it.
Then Save the Layout set.
This should add the collection renderer to the layout set.

Layout set for XML Forms.

Hi,
I am developing a 'who is who' (contacts) page using XML Form builder.
Now, I want each contact to be displayed in a credit card design.
So, I could think about two different options for that
1. Adding the design as a background image. tried to add in the XML form itself; but it is not properly rendering. Is there any option to set it using Layout set(CollectionRenderer)?
2. Adding style sheet in XML form builder itself. But I am completely illiterate about this. Can write the design in a css file?
I could find two options in the FORM
Row Style:
(Style sheet for the table rows)
Column Style:
(Style sheet for the table columns.)
Can some one provide me a solution? or suggest some better solution.?
Regards,
Jelbin

Hi,
Just explain your requirement in Single line. What you want to do in XML form? What is your requirement?

Layout Set not working

Hi all,
I am trying to fulfill a requirement here which is to hide the "Edit Header" control on the Banner iView. I found out that this is defined in the "Components" property in the HTML Collection Renderer Settings. When i omit the component on this property, the Banner iView hides the control. So far, so good.
Now, as i need 2 instances of the layout set (one with the component and other without) i did this:
1) Copied the layout set to a custom one
2) Copied the HTML Renderer to a custom one
3) Omitted the component on the custom HTML Renderer
4) Changed the renderer on the custom layout set to point to the new renderer
5) Copied the Banner iView and customized it on the property "Layout Setting", putting the name of the custom layout set.
And this won't work! When i use this iView, instead of showing the Banner and Title, it shows a KM navigation structure with the Images directory (base directory of Banners). Do you know what may be wrong? I am sure that the problem occurs when i change the iView property to point to the custom layout set. But what is wrong?

Hi all,
I've posted this yesterday and had no reply... can anyone help on this case? I've tried everything and nothing seems to work.
Thanks in advance!

How to get a list of Layout Sets

Hi Experts,
How do I get a list of Layout sets in Portal ?
I am using a KM Navigation IView to show a list of External Links. I have used a copy of Links IView for this. The Layout set used here is "LinkListExplorer".
The problem with this layout set is it provides an option of Organize Entries to all End users. An end user might potentially delete a link or edit it due to this.
I want to get rid of Organize Entries feature in this IView, which I feel can be achieved only by changing Layout of the IVIew.
Please guide me to list of Layout sets or a way to maintain permissions for Links IView.
Thanks,
Yomesh.

Layout Set: How to add a new field in a layout Set?

Hi ABAPPERS.
Question:
How can I add a new field in a layout set?
Scenario:
QC21 uses a global Layout Set ZQMECOA_GLOBAL.
There's a field required in this Layout Set which is Production Date(CAUFVD-GLTRP).
Where is the date query happening here?
Where can I insert the SELECT statement for the new field required?
I try to look at:
OPEN_FORM and WRITE_FORM, it seems that date query or SELECTION of data is not happening here.
Thanks.

If you are adding a header field then you will extend the header structure in CRM and do the same with Item structures for Item fields. You will use EEWB or similar technique in the CRM backend to extend the header or item.
These extended fields in the backed are available in customer_h or _i structures in the order object that can be read and modified in the Header BAdI or Item BAdi.
If you think that this message is cryptic or not enough, then you should search for Extension Guide in this forum and read the document.

Customize the layout set used when opening a folder in search result list?

Hi,
I have created a search result iView that uses a predefined search query to show a list of folders. If I click on a folder (rnd:displayname(contentLink)) its content is displayed in a new window. Here the layout set Consumer Explorer (default profile?) is used.
I want to use a custom layout set in this window. How can I achieve this?
Regards,
Mario

Hi Mario,
here the answers:

You can either check the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/Implementing%20Flexible%20UI%20One-Step-Screenflow.article">Implementing Flexible UI One-Step-Screenflow</a> tutorial by Thilo Brandt or search here on SDN for "UI Command implementation" examples.

Normally, as you can see in the above mentioned <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/25/59bb2eece725498427334e0e21b80c/content.htm">Priority of Settings</a>, whenever the KM Navigation component (com.sap.km.cm.navigation) is opened without a specific layout set the global default layout set is used. As you can give this parameters by different ways (as URL parameter, in the KM Navigation iView configuration, via OTH file definition, hardcoded or configured in the configuration of an UI Command, etc.) it is nearly impossible to find all situation where your users will get this default profile.
The UI Commands (with selection) you mentioned like "copy","move","create_link" use the configured LayoutSet (ConsumerOnlyFolderSelector) from the KM Configuration (of the command).

One idea would be to use the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/0f/764b87dfb948fcb13fd7695e157892/content.htm">Multiple Property Replacement</a> feature by SAP.

Of course. One other possibility I have in mind is to work with OTH files. You might also search here on SDN to see how to use them for setting the layout set for specific folder paths.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Search result category with a custom layout set?

Greetings,
I've created a nice little search IVIEW with a custom search options set that will display the document category (taxonomy) in the search result (if the resulting document is categorized, of course.) Works great. However there is one little problem. The categories in the search results are hyperlinked and when you select one, you get a new window with the taxonomy rendered in the default layout set (the ConsumerExplorer I think.) Not good. I need this displayed in a custom layout set.
Any ideas how to make this hyperlink use a custom layout set without changing the default?
Regards,
Paul Federighi

Hi Paul,
As per my knowledge of the basic s of layout sets and iviews.
You want to change the layout set of the iview(window) which opens when u click the hyperlink.
You should do this:
1)Make a new layout set by customizing the default one.
2)If the iview opening is a standard iview then go to its properties and change the Layout set value to ur new layout.
Please revert in case of issues.
I hope it helps.
Regards,
Sumit

How to use Result Search (TREX) Impagination in customize Layout Set

Hello Experts
We are using a customise Layout Set get from "NewsBrowser" duplication..
At the moment we are using it to show the first three documents of a km folder, but that folder contains a lot of documents and in the bottom of the iview are showed many link for the other files (es. "1-3 4-7 8-11 ... etc etc").
We would like to use the same impagination used in the result search list, when you do a search with the TREX the link for the other impagination does not show all the result, but in the bottom of the iview I can see a link as "1-10 Continue" ...
I can I set the same in my customised Layout Set??
Could you help me??
Best Regards

Export and Import of Layout Set / Readonly Error

Hi,
I tried to export a layout set.
I choosed "Export" from the action context menu.
I've choosen "include related content.."
Download the file to .configarchive
In the target system, I've choosen
"Import" from the action context menu.
But then, I'll receive the error message
"Error while trying to process the import: Cannot run an import in the current configuration status "ReadOnly".
But I am Admin-User.

Hi Holger,
if someone chooses "Export" from action menu, the system will change to "ReadOnly" modus, so that no changes can be done while creating the export.
Maybe the Export modus is also started in your target system? You would need to go on Action -> Export -> Chancel.
Hope this helps,
Robert
PS: If not a restart will definitely do the trick
