User Specific Catalogs

Hello everyone,
I have a client who would like to set up User Specific Catalogs using the same theme and I had no idea how to set that up.  Is that even possible?  Or anything remotely possible?  The scenario is that they have a "default" catalog that everyone has access to, and then each Business Partner has access to a subset of parts that is unique to that Business Partner.  The only thing that I could think of is that they were all given their own Catalog and Theme that they went to, which is doable a maintenance nightmare.  So BP C001 would have a catalog C001 of just their parts and their own theme that would link to http://c001.website.com or something like that which would be tied to their theme and associated to their catalog.  Then what happens if they go to http://www.website.com, maybe that would just have the "default" catalog.  Which also begs the question, can you associate one catalog under another catalog, so I could just maintain one "default" catalog (which would be part of everyone's unique catalog) and then add on other parts to the "parent" catalog.  I hope that this makes sense and maybe I am over complicating things, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Please let me know.
Thanks,
Kristen

You could associate the user with a theme and that theme is associated with a specific catalog.
Theme copy, and catalog copy will come in handy, or the bulk operations to copy categories into a new catalog.
Also, you could associate a specific URL with each theme, so that when someone comes to the site it loads that theme and catalog before they login(provided they dont share the url with someone else)

  • User Specific catalog UI configuration - Custom catalog user role

    Hi all,
    We need different user specific layout settings for each user. i have duplicated catalog user role for each user and maintained specific named search for that particular user in constraint. but when we want to configure specific layout for individual user. its not showing that catalog user in the catalog config UI for the layout configuration. please advice. if it shows that specific user then we would configure each specific user layout with individual look and feel ( like shopping lists, search fields, images, etc., ). thanks for your inputs.
    Your help would be highly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Smartsoft General user,
    I guess you are on SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0
    We have the same business scenario as yours. Its working perfectly for us.
    1. Donot copy Catalog User role. SRM-MDM UI Config only accepts users assigned under std Catalog User role. You dont need mutiple copies of Catalog user role, anyways it wont work.
    2. Create multiple webservices for each Named search. Provide one User (like User1, User2...or your own created ones) and one Named Search as following parameters in each webservice.
              http://<your server:port>/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM
    username     User<n>
    password     <password>
    server     <your server>
    repositoryType     M ( for Master ) S (for Slave)  - Make sure you are pointing to right repo if you have master/slave
    catalog     <provide Repository name- make sure you are giving right repository name, I provided it wrong first time>
    port     <your port>
    uilanguage     SY-LANGU
    datalanguage     SY-LANGU
    mask     < keep blank if you want dynamic search>                                                                               
    namedsearch     <Provide exact Named search name as you provided in Data Manager>
    HOOK_URL                                                                               
    returntarget     _parent
    If you are creating 5 different Named searches, create 5 different webservice definitions as above.
    3. Now for each Catalog user, you can perform separate search UI layout as you wish.
    Let me know if this helps or have any questions. If this worked for me, we will make it work for you.

  • 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.

  • Control User Specific button in ALV report

    Hi,
    Can anybody please suggest me how to control "USER SPECIFIC" button in ALV report layout using authorization object. I mean if you can tell me which authorization object is responsible to control the "USER SPECIFIC" button.

    additional info to what Lakshmi already said:-
    normally the restrictions for saving layouts/display variants are done at 2 levels:
    1) The developer of an ALV list first predetermines the authorization in the 'i_save' parameter within the code.
    I_SAVE = ' '     -
    layouts cannot be saved
    I_SAVE = 'A'   -
    user-specific and cross-user layouts can be saved
    I_SAVE = 'X'   --- cross-user layouts can be saved
    I_SAVE = 'U'  ---  user-specific layouts can be saved
    2) The second level comes to us restriciting the S_ALV_LAYO which gives access to users to save global layouts if I_SAVE for that particular transaction is A or X.
    for example, a report has I_SAVE= 'A', which means
    it will allow to save  User-specific  layouts without any restrictions.
    and if user has S_ALV_LAYO then he can save both User-Specific and Global Layouts(variants).
    it would be better to keep this object separate.

    Hi ,
    My problem is still not resolved. I tried applying the people picker property and set a specific field(an email id field) to be available to only admins. Now the field is not visible to the normal users but only admins which is good but that email field
    should be able to take normal users as wel as admin's email ID. currently due to the people picker property it only takes admin's ID and not normal user's ID - which is not as per expectation.
    What this email ID field does is - when a normal user is logged in he/she wont see this field in that view. But when an admin logs in he/she can switch to admin view and see this field . The admin can put any user's ID in this field and pull out the required
    resource's Time Report for modification.
    Please let me know how do i overcome my problem. Detailed step description will be very helpfull .
    As per Cameron's suggestion (add a rule on the "additional admin section") , i am not sure how exactly that is done. Would help a lot if i got to know how this works.

  • Setting user specific contract data while creating sales order using BAPI

    Hi all,
    I am creating sales order using BAPI - BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2.

    HI
      Pricing will be carried basing on the pricing
    procedure.
    Case1: Prices will be carried out automatically if
    necessary condition records are maintained for the
    condition type.
      For this you can go to Sales Order-> Item Conditions
    In the screen you can click on command button Analysis,
    which gives you the list of condition types associated
    to the pricing procedure. By clicking on the condition
    type you can know the action that has taken place.
    Case2: Manually forcing prices for Items.
      To do this, you have to populate ORDER_CONDITIONS_IN &
    ORDER_CONDITIONS_INX. Also note to identify the item
    numbers, you manually pass the item number for each item
    in the sales order, use the same item number for
    populating conditions.
      Parameters required:
    ORDER_CONDITIONS_IN:
      ITM_NUMBER, COND_TYPE, COND_VALUE, CURRENCY
    ORDER_CONDITIONS_INX:
      ITM_NUMBER, COND_TYPE, UPDATEFLAG, COND_VALUE,CURRENCY.
       Hope the above info helps you. Do revert back if you
    need more info.

  • Strange user-specific display problem

    I use my MacBook with an external AG Neovo F-419 19"screen. I have one screen at work and another at home. It works beautifully except for one strange phenomenon: when I log into my account and watch the screen during start up, whereas it starts out having nice even-contrast graphics with a good color range, as the boot progresses it goes through two changes. At the first change the color balance changes, probably reflecting a calibration that I have done in the past kicking in from the Display Preferences info. But then it goes through a second change in which the contrast becomes extreme and the color range perhaps reduced and this then stays and I cannot reverse it by changing the settings in Display Prefs (I can alter the contrast, brightness, color balance etc. but I can't restore the normal color and contrast whatever I do). Bizarrely, however, I can restore things to normal just by rotating the screen and then Reverting to normal orientation.
    This is user specific as it doesn't happen if I login as another users and it reappaears when I log back in (andagain gets undone by rotating the screen). It seems not to be a function of a particular Display Profile as I have tried changing them and deleting, ditto for the Prefs file in my User Library. Moreover, the external display does not need to be connected - it happens when I use the Macbook on it's own, which is very annoying because then I cannot rotate the screen to get rid of it!
    If anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful as I do not want to transfer thousands of files into a new User account (I should say that I thnk this problem first arose in Tiger when I had another machine and it has migrated along with the User settings!!). Help!!

    Hi,
    I think you can only display a maximum message of 128 characters. There is also another function module SCCA_TH_POPUP which also has a message size of max 128 characters.

  • User specific default variant in  a selectio screen

    Is it possible to provide an option to create user specific default variant in a selection screen?
    I have developed a custom report program. Now I want to allow users to choose one of their variants as default variant ?  Please help.

    Hi very Simple and easy solution:
    In SE93 when u are creating the transaction for the program use the option 'Start with variant' and give your own vaiant name for the program start. This will help you in starting your proam always with your default variant.
    Hope That Helps
