User Specific Display Variants

Hi
Were on ECC 6.0 and when I choose to create and save a display variant from and ALV screen the user-specific box is ticked and I can not un-tick it because its grayed out - no matter what we do we can not un-tick this checkbox. We need to create global display variants so that all user can use these display variants.
Is there a configuration setting that we can adjust ?? any suggestions to overcome this problem are welcome.
Thanks

Hi Eric,
I'm a bit busy now and I cannot give you a complete solution, but sure can give you some c(l)ue. Just see if you have some success. If you do not, then i wuill get back to you later.
Refer to the follwoing SAP Tables and see if you have some luck.
==========================================================
LTDX  --> Generic storage of display variants
LTDXD --> Default display variants
LTDXS --> SAP Default Display Variants
LTDXT --> Display variant texts
==========================================================
The idea is to try and manipulate the table entries for various users.

  • User Specific Transaction Variant

    Hi,
    Can i please have guidelines for Transaction variant creation, specially user specific transaction variant creation along with example?
    Regards,
    Samir Wadajkar

    Dear
    Please see this wiki for useful :http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Transaction%20Variant%20-%20A%20Step%20by%20Step%20Guide%20for%20Creation
    OR
    Go to SHD0
    Enter the transaction code - Enter the transaction variant YXXX under transaction variants tab
    Create - the transaction variant. When you back after creating .... Save all the screens and do a syntax check - this will take you to different screen - Just execute and come back
    You should now be in SHD0 with your transaction code as well as transaction variant.
    Now, go to 'GOTO' on application tool bar - Create transaction variant. Do not check 'Inherit GUI attributes' under classification and check all under GUI SUPPORT
    Execute your newly create Ytransaction
    Go back to SHD0 again and repeat the same process but enter different name than previous one. do the exact same process.
    Create new transaction which means enter different transactio name like if the previous one is yxxx1 ... create this as yxxx2.
    You can take the standard transaction from every user or who you dont want to give by removing the authorization from user master (talk to security people)
    Hope this will be usefull

  • 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

  • User-Specific Report Variants

    Hi,
    is there an easy way to assign a user-specific report variant without modifying the report or create own transactions. For example by assigning the report variant somehow to the user-parameter?
    Thanks for your help,
    Andreas

    Hi,
    Maybe you could play with the GET PARAMETER ID ...
    Or maybe you could create a program that start the real program after selecting the default variant of the user. After you call the program with this variant.
    SUBMIT REPORT01
           VIA SELECTION-SCREEN
           USING SELECTION-SET 'VARIANT1'
           USING SELECTION-SETS OF PROGRAM 'REPORT00'
           AND RETURN.

  • 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!!
    Andy

    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.

  • Copying user specific reporting variants to other users

    Hi,
    Does anyone have experience in copying user saved variants to other users?
    We'd like to create a few complex variants for reporting and then distribute them to all of our users.
    Thanks!

    Edited by: Miikka Åkerman on Nov 18, 2009 2:40 PM

    Hi,
    In reports input Screen you have this option,
    In selection screen you can find, Save as a New varient, give some name and save , don't select Save as User Varient and save it.
    Note: Check with the select Save as User Varient & Use as default Varient options.
    Thanks

  • ABAP Query display variant problem

    Hi,
      We have three different SAP clients development DV1, Staging ST1 and production PC1. I have created an abap query for which I m trying to create a global display variant (not user specific). I m able to do so easily in DV1 and PC1 systems. But when I try to create a display variant on ST1 by first running the report and then going to menu Settings->Layout->Save . I find that by default the User-Specific checkbox is selected and disabled. Because of this I can create only user specific display variants for my queries.
    Where can I change the settings so that when I go to the above menu the User-specific checkbox is enabled and I m able to create global display variants ?
    Thank you for reading.
    Krishna

    I am confuse after reading your question , any way we can adding "default" variant in SQ01. You can also assign the same variant in SE93 , when you create T-code for the specific query !!.
    Well if it doesn’t solve your problem ..please explain your question with the help of tr. codes and what you’re trying to do !!
    I’m sorry , its really making me knutt by reading your question again and again .
    Thanks

  • Standard vs User Created FI Line Display Variants

    Hello folks,
    I'd like your opinion on the following problem:
    Requirement: Display variants which begin with a special character other than / that is not in the sap standard variant name space, and can
    only be defined by selected users.
    We have users in ecc 6.0 that may create and save User Specific display layouts (those beginning with an alpha character), but we need to have
    the same display layouts saved as User Independent, that is Shareable with all other users and still begin with an alpha character....    
    But we cannot give access to create/change Standard display layouts (those beginning with a slash / ), as our Standard display      
    layouts/variants must remain protected and changeable only by designated users.                                       
    Any ideias if this is possible?
    If it's not possible, no problem, I'll reward anyway.
    Thank you for your help.
