PowerDesign Physical Data model - Sub-objects Format

navinladda — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 16:21:39 GMT

When I right click on a column of a table on the diagram and select "Sub-objects format" so that I can change the color, font etc, in the dialog box of column listing it opens, it stays focused on the top/first column of table. Why can't PD jump to the column I right clicked on in the diagram.

On a table with 500 columns, it is annoying then to scroll and find the correct one. Also add a MS-Word type formatting icons right on the tool bar to change the font, formatting when it is selected in the diagram.

I really like these suggestions, Navin. It would be useful to have toolbar and contextual menu actions for sub-objects in symbols. Have you raised this with SAP?

I looked around in SAP One Launchpad for enhancement request submission and could not find a spot. @George if you have the link handy, please share.

You need to raise an incident with SAP Support, and they will raise a Change Request - click on "Report an Incident" at https://support.sap.com/en/index.html

They seem to be having issues with Incident submission website. Yesterday was trying to submit one for PD failing when trying to export a list report to Excel. So saved that in draft and today was able to pull it back and submit.

Now for this enhancement request when I try to create a new one, it just sits there without loading the Description field as it tries to search for existing Incidents based on Subject text.

Will re-try tomorrow.
