Overview

Personalizing R/ 3 enables you to provide the R/ 3 experience preferred by your u ser comm un ity. In this

docum ent, we walk you through th e personalization features and p rovide tips on how to effectively use

them w ith your 3.1 R/ 3 imp lementation. The features listed in this document d o not require any expensive

code modification.

Features

Here is a quick overview of the various personalization features available in R/ 3.

Globals: Globals in R/ 3 enable you to p re-fill fields that often hav e single default values that ap ply across

your entire R/ 3 imp lementation. Using Globals, you can d efine default values for all modu le program

instances of fields th at belong to a p re-defined list of R/ 3 Data Dictionary Domain.

User Parameters: User param eters sup ply defaults to R/ 3 fields of a par ticular user.

User Defaults: Using user defaults you can specify user-preferred characteristics such a s pr inter, curr ency

format, date format, etc.

Parameter Transactions: Param eter transactions enable you to d efine defaults for the initial screen of an y

transaction in R/ 3. Optionally, you can also hide the initial screen su ch that th e user can directly navigate

to the details.

Transaction Variants: Using transaction var iants, you can create transaction var iants (or variant

transactions) that p rovide u sers with tran sactions containing just the fields and screens that are ap plicable

for your R/ 3 implementation.

Master Data: The R/ 3 Imp lementation Guide provides transactions that enable you to define the group of

fields/ data that you wan t to collect regard ing master entities such as Vendor, Customer, Material, etc ofyour bu siness enterprise.

Area Menu: Area menu in R/ 3 enables you to create an entirely your own R/ 3 view includ ing just the

functionality imp lemented at you r installation or app licable for a specific workgrou p.

User Menu: Via user m enu, the R/ 3 users can create their own p ersonal view of R/ 3 includ ing just the

activities/ transactions that are relevant for the work they p erform.

SA P Shortcuts:Using SAP Shortcuts, you can prov ide the u sers with d irect access to the transactions and

reports that ar e relevant for them u sing icons or links in their docum ent or web p ages.

Application A rea: There are number of application area specific personalization transactions that let you

pick and choose the fields and screens you wan t the area specific transactions to d isplay. These

transactions are included as part of the R/ 3 Implementation Guide.

R/3 Report Navigator: The R/ 3 Report N avigator provides a comprehensive listing of all the operational

reports ava ilable in the standard release of R/ 3. It also provid es information on m ost of the listed rep orts.

Using the features d elivered as p art of R/ 3 Report N avigator, you can p ersonalize the report listing or the

report info sheets with information tha t is just relevant for you r u sers.

Reports: R/ 3 delivers num ber of canned reports that p ull transactional information. Most of these reports

prov ide mechanisms through w hich you can specify the fields to be u sed in the selection p rocess or

output/ displayed on the report.

Extended Help: The information d elivered with R/ 3 for the fields an d transactions may not be exactly the

information you wan t to provide for your users. Using the ann otation mechanism and sup plements to thefield help, you can include the imp lementation sp ecific information that could be u seful for your users.

Before proceeding...

In this guide, we p rovide instructions on how you can effectively make use of user p aram eters.

Report Navigator is an add -on d eliverable you can obtain for your R/ 3 imp lementation.

SAP Shortcuts is part of the stand ard 4.0c deliverable. We are planning to p rovide 3.0D and
