Saving a Layout

Dear MDM Gurus,
How do save a layout which I have associated with a family.
In the Layout mode,under the menu option LAYOUT I do see an option of SAVE LAYOUT but it is disabled.
I have the publisher and DTP Installed with the plugins.
Using MDM SP3
My requirement is such thatmy company might do a Layout for particular family in one way today based on a partitioned field say FIELDA1
Tomm. based on a different business need .....may have to partition by field FIELDB1 which would have a different layout.
Then if we partition by FieldA1 again the original Layout associated with FIELDA1
is LOST.
Thanks.
Hari
Is there any good documentation other than the Data Manager/Console/Import Manager Reference Guides.
Thanks.

Hi Hari,
In SP4 Publisher, there is a way to create a template for a specific family and apply it to many other families in the family hierarchy or publication hierarchy.
I would be happy to demonstrate this and answer any questions you may have. Please contact me directly: [email protected]

Saving print layout templates

In a future release, would it be possible to have a function whereby you can save your print layouts in a folder, as a backup precaution incase you accidentally delete or alter an original one? At the moment, you can only back the PLD templates up via daily database backups. I have a customer who has spent a very long time perfecting their print layout templates and he thinks this functionality would be very useful and reassuring.
Thanks

Hello Kate,
Within 8.8 release, we are introducing new control of 'Report and Layout Management' which enables joint management of PLD and Crystal Reports layouts. This enhances the usability of maintenance of print layouts and should reduce a risk of accidential deletion of the print layout.
Moreover, Crystal Reports can be also saved outside SAP Business One as a separate file (similarly like those for XL Reporter).

Saving Keyboard Layouts

I have created a custom keyboard layout (and saved as...) and I want to save it on a thumbdrive or on our company network to be able to apply the settings on another work station. Can this be done? and how?
Chris Randolph

OK, this worked for me.
Open Windows Explorer
On the left side, double-click the C drive to open it, double click the Users folder, and the double click on your user name folder.
Click in the Location bar and add \AppData\. You will then be able to see the hidden folder and continue navigating to the Adobe Premiere Pro data you need.
Double click each successive folder: Roaming, Adobe, Premiere Pro, 5.5
Copy the .kys file anywhere you like.
Paste it into a like location on your other computer. You should be good to go!

Saving report layout views without saving the filter criteria.

We have a requirement from the client where after the user changes the layout of a report (ex. by adding/removing characteristics), the user wants to save the layout of the report without saving the filters of report.
I have two scenarios where I can get this to work.
1. Pressing the u2018Save Viewu2019 button in the web report. And changing the query in Query Designer so that it does not have any filter variables in the u2018Default Valueu2019 section (all filters have to be in the u2018Characteristic Restrictionu2019 section). And in WAD turn 'On' the setting for u2018Reset Variable Values to Defaultu2019. I do not want to use this method because it means I have to change all queries that are in production.
2. The second way I get it to work is by Pressing the u2018Save Viewu2019 button and forcing the query to use a customized web template that references a master web template. In WAD neither the parent nor child web template has u2018Reset Variable Values to Defaultu2019 set to 'On', it is set to 'Off (Default)'. I would like to figure out why this method works because no changes need to be made to the queries (filters can be on either side, u2018Characteristic Restrictionsu2019 or u2018Default Valuesu2019). I do not want to use this customized web template for all queries because there are special layouts and labels that are not needed for the all other reports.
So I know that there is a solution on the web template side, but Iu2019m not sure where the solution is. I want to figure out why scenario 2 works, and apply that to the default web template that runs for all queries. I compared the setting of both templates and I cannot find a difference. Please help!!
We are running:
SAP BW 7.0 Service Pack 22
Web Application Designer 7.0
Query Designer 7.0
Thanks in advance, Points will be awarded!!

Hi Sathish!
If your table data is less than 3 pages (2 pages) then new section will start from 3rd page only.
Each table is less than one page actually. But as I wrote the 2-nd section starts from the 2-nd page (what is excellent), but the 3-rd section starts from the 2-nd page as well (right after the 2-nd section), but not from the 3-rd page.
If each table in section is with different format , it is good to go with TAB wise tables.
Could you give any link where I could read about the TAB wise tables? Not sure I am familiar with it.
Thank you!

[SOLVED] Saving i3 Layout

I'm trying to save this layout and restore it when I open i3:
Here's the .json that gets saved:
http://pastebin.com/SeBi3yEz
Regardless of what I change all floating windows are tiled horizontally. If I change window settings in ~/.i3/config to default as float then all windows move to the center of the screen and overlap each other. Any thoughts? Thanks.

At least, you need to take a closer look at the structure of your document, see; http://i3wm.org/docs/layout-saving.html … ayoutFiles.
The way you use 'instance' , 'class' & 'title', is not the way it supposed to be.
You can use my document too, for that purpose.
For the name I would use something like:
"name": "Mutt",
or nothing, leave it out.
Also, there is no
"layout": "splith",
only
"layout": "splitv",
What would explain your horizontal splits.
edit:
something like this
"class": "^URxvt$",
"instance": "^WeeChat",
"title": "^"
B.t.w.: you probably don't miss anything in your setup.

How to send pdf or excel attachment as saved alv layout in email

Hi Guru,
I am developing a report in which, i am sending report as excel attachment after clicking a button on top of alv grid, and pdf attachment after clicking another button on top of alv grid. I am sending mail by two ways they are:
1) I am populating my internal table value in separate internal table and converting that to string and sending email as excel attachment.
2) And am converting report as spooljob, and using abapspool 2 pdf function module i am converting spool to pdf, after that am send that pdf as mail attachment.
Now my requirement is i need to send email attachment as layout which is displayed in the alv screen, even i hide a column and change the layout it is going with all the columns. What should i do for this problem.

Rithika

Hi,
Check if the below steps will solve the problem.
* Get the run time ALV layout (field catalog) using the below method.
     data: r_grid TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_grid.
     CALL METHOD r_grid->get_frontend_fieldcatalog
          IMPORTING
               et_fieldcatalog = t_fcat.
* Adjust the download table according to t_fcat.

Need help saving Workspace layout

At Photoshop World, Julieanne Kost mentioned that she likes to have all of her panels to the left. I tried this at home and really like it like that, so I saved a new workspace.
My problem is that when I open a new image, the image window floats behind my left-sided panels and it drives me crazy!! This is the problem ....
I really want it to default to a location that I set for any new document that is created or image that is opened, but I can't figure out how to save that location and I've searched online and in the preferences. Can anyone help me make it default to this positon below??
Thanks SO much!!
Allison

Yes, there is a way to do this.
Start with a workspace that has the panels to the right.
Important: do not have any files open.
Also important: Open the panels you want showing by default, such as layers and swatches.
Now, as shown in the screenshot, drag the panels as a group by placing your mouse pointer where the red box is, then drag it to the toolbox until you see a blue line. This means the panels will be docked instead of floating, and will not allow your open documents under it.
Save the workspace, then open your files.
Gene
You should see this. "test" is what I called the workspace.

Saving a layout for a user

Hello;
I want to save a particular layout with some default values. Suppose if I am running a report MCI7, I want to have an equipment number say- 1000500 as a default everytime I run the Tcode MCI7.
I know, I can create a variant & call the variant; but I want to get the variant automatically (after running the Tcode MCI7) without choosing the variant. This applies in some industries where only breakdown reports on only 2-3 critical equipments are required, every month.
Points assured.

Hello Philip;
Thanks for your valuable input, it solved my problem.

Authorization for saving Default Layout Settings

Hello,
In transaction /AFS/MD04, we would like to restrict users from changing the default screen layout. When they try to save a screen layout, we would like the checkbox to default to "User-specific" and not allow them to change the default.
Also, we would like to restrict those who can change the default with a parameter id.
To recreate: Enter a material and plant number and press enter. On screen 2000, subscreen 800 is the screen to which I'm referring. It is here that we would like to control the settings.
I have done this in custom reports using the following code:
*Check authorization to change default layout
GET PARAMETER ID 'ZSD_VARIANT_RETURNS' FIELD lv_pid.
IF lv_pid = 'X'.
lo_layout->set_default( abap_true ).
ENDIF.
I have seen some posts refer to transaction SHD0. Can this be handled with that transaction code?
Update on 3/2/2010:
I have seen some other posts regarding this issue and also seen OSS notes 409190 & 601803.
Our security team says that changing auth object S_ALV_LAYO would prevent users from changing the layout at all. Is this correct? We want to restrict who can set the Default Layout and give everyone else the ability to set the User Specific settings.
I have seen other posts refer to the I_SAVE parameter, the OSS notes also mention it, but it isn't clear to me how to use that.
We would like to do this in a SAP transaction - /AFS/MD04 - is this possible?
3/3/2010:
It appears taking away authority to object S_ALV_LAYO was the answer after all.
Thanks,
Chris Mowl

When object S_ALV_LAYO was taken out of my security profile, I was only able to save User-specific layouts and not Default layouts. This was our objective.

How to hide the Save Results Layout checkbox on the Create Saved Search pop

I need to hide the Save Results Layout checkbox on the Create Saved Search popup. Can anyone tell me how to do it?
This popup is used when the user is on a query (rendered by the af:query component) and they select click the "Save..." button. The have three options, Set as Default, Run Automatically, and Save Results Layout. I have an implementation that supports everything except saving the layout. So I need to hide that checkbox.
Thanks,
Mike

For anybody else who needs to do this, here is how I did it.
Add this to your css
/* This hides the Save Results Layout checkbox on the Create Saved Search screen */
span[id$='saveLayout'] {
visibility: hidden;
}

Fields present in the saved layout of ALV

Hi All,
I have a report which has 20 fields in output.
I have saved a layout with only 10 fields and I am using these default layout while executing the program.
Is there any possibility to get the fields in the layout without actually going to the report output?
When I run this report in background mode I am downloading the fields into an excel and sending it to an email.Though the layout has ten fields, all the 20 fields are downloaded into the excel.This is because I have taken all the possible fileds into the excel.
Is there any possibilty to look at the fields present in the layout and pass only those fields data to the excel?
Thanks
Sandeep

You should be able to do this as the data is obviously held inside SAP - but the approach may differ a little depending on how your table catalog is defined. The best starting point would probably be function REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_SELECT - have a look at include RJITMON_DOWNLOAD for example (if it's in your system) that uses this to read the variant and assemble a download. Otherwise you may need to delve down a layer or two into the function modules that REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_SELECT calls (e.g. LT_VARIANT_LOAD, LT_DBDATA_READ_FROM_LTDX, & LT_FC_LOAD) - if you do a where-used on these you will probably find an example you can copy the logic for determining the variant column attributes from.

Indesign CS4 loses links when saving layout

I ran across an interesting situation at work, using Indesign CS4 on a Mac in an ActiveDirectory environment (network users). Every time Indesign was saving the layout file, the last graphic element placed on the layout lost the link to the original file. We change every single component in this scenario (parameter ram, Indesign prefs, new hardware, OS upgrade from 10.6 all the way up to 10.8, deleted the user and created a new one, ...) until we noticed a font problem with the universal type client deamon. The solution was pretty simple - we deleted all the font-management stuff and did a clean install of the universal type client. Et voilà, Indesign worked like charm… maybe someone can make use of my time-consuming experience

Thank you. I'm pretty sure there was another thread about losing links last year, and it also turned out to be Suitcase.

Disable Default Settings while saving Layout

Hi,
The client has a requirement wherein he wants to disable the "Default Setting" for all the Users and enable only the "User Specific" while saving a Layout in Standard Reports.
Guide me as to how i can address this issue.
Regards
PJ

Dear PJ,
As per me, instead of Functional Consultant, you must get in-touch with BASIS-Admin; particularly for this requirement.
As, what i know to achieve this, some settings needs to done in Parameter-ID (or Authorization Object - replace/ restrict access to Global layout) in T. Code: SU01/ SU3.
Can't comment much on the same.
Best Regards,
Amit.
