Defining the Sequence of Characteristics 

Use

If you have to assign values to a large number of characteristics, it is useful to define a sequence for the configuration editor. This lets you prioritize the characteristics.

You change the sequence of characteristics by choosing Value assignment → Interface design, not on the value assignment screen itself.

This function only applies to the General tab and the standard settings.

Prerequisites

Your user master record contains authorization object C_LOVC_DSG with the activity that you want to perform.

The configuration profile contains a name for an interface design under Confign initial screen → UserInterf. This activates the function on the value assignment screen.

Procedure

1.      Choose Value assignment → Interface design → Characteristic grouping on the value assignment screen.

You see a dialog box in which you enter a name for the characteristics group.

-   Set the Sequence indicator.

You cannot set the Sequence indicator if the Tabs indicator or the Pushbutton indicator is set.

 

Confirm.

2.      You see the processing screen for interface design.

3.      Choose Characteristics.

Select the characteristics in the sequence that you want on the value assignment screen.

a.  Select the characteristic that you want to display at the top, and confirm.

b.  You see the characteristic on the processing screen.

c.  Call the dialog box again and select the characteristic that you want to display next.

d.  Confirm.

The characteristic is displayed below the first characteristic you selected.

e.  Continue in the same way until you have all characteristics in the sequence you require.

4.      Save your settings.

Result

The sequence is copied to the value assignment screen.

To change the sequence, choose Value assignment → Interface design → Overview and call the characteristics. You can move or delete characteristics. To delete the sequence, choose Goto → Chars group on the Overview screen. You see a dialog box where you delete the sequence.
