Layout is it User-specific or Standard ?

former_member194669 — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 10:29:29 GMT

I have an ALV report that contains user specific layout and standard layout. My question is if user enters the layout name in the selection screen . i wanted to know whether the layout is user-specific or standard layout.

How we can differentiate this ?

Standard layouts start with the special character / where as user specific

layout can be saved with alphabets(A-Z).

For example you can check transaction MB52 which displays all your layouts

in selection screen as well.

Layouts can be saved for specific users or for all users.

User-specific layouts are only visible to the users who have created them.

Layouts for all users can be selected by all users. These layouts always start with a forward slash in the name (for example, /Standard).

The layouts are report-dependent and you can only create, change or delete them within the display of the respective ALV list. User-specific layouts can only be changed or deleted by the user who created them.

To save layouts for all users, you need the authorization S_ALV_LAYO with activity 23 as of Release 4.6C. You can only go to the layout administration if you have this authorization.

You must maintain the authorization object S_ALV_LAYO using the user administration.

If you would like to use or save the Excel view in your layout, you also require the additional authorization S_BDS_DS with activity 01,02,03,06,30; CLASSNAME ALVLAYOUTTEMPLATES and CLASSTYPE OT.

Furthermore, there are applications that have their own authorization checks installed.

In some ALV lists, you can only save user-specific layouts. In these cases, the indicator "user-specific" is active , on a grey background and unable to be changed. This is related to the parameter I_SAVE. This controls which options you have to save the layout.

To be able to define default layouts, the parameter I_DEFAULT must have the value 'X'.

Notes 409190 and 601803 also provide further information on authorizations.

Yes, you can get all the layouts of a program from LTDX table,but you can identify

standard layout which starts with ' / ' and user specific which starts with A-Z.
