hide Help Center / Personalize icons in self-serivce WDA application pages

Hi All,

We are implementing ESS MSS for EHP6 using NWBC.

By default the help center & personalize icons appear on the top right corner of the page for each of the ESS MSS services. It appears that that availability of these icons is controlled by the WDA framework but we don't want to show them to the user at all. Is there any possibility that we can hide or remove them.

The reasons behind these requirement are:

  1. We don't want to let the users to any personalisation on the pages (we are using WDDISABLEUSERPERSONALIZATION for this)
  2. We have an external tool for offering help content to all the applications (including SAP & non-SAP applications) that the users have access to so we don't need the Help Center at all.

In order to hide the menu option More Field Help (available in the menu that appears when we right click on the page) we tried using the parameter WDHIDEMOREFIELDHELPASDEFAULT but it is not hiding the menu option at all. We tried it setting in WD_GLOBAL_SETTING and also in WD_GLOBAL_PARAMETERS through SICF but nothing is hiding the menu option.

Please let me know if any one has been able to hide these options.

I have attached a screenshot for your reference depicting exactly what exactly the client needs.

Thanks in advance,

PK

You can deactivate the help functionality by deselecting the flag
"Help is Enabled" within Customizing/Configuration of an OVP
component (node OVPApplication).

For further information on how to adapt a floorplan, e.g. via
customizing, please read the following document:
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-28799

Ypu can control the access via

Hi Sidharth,

Thanks a lot for your reply. It has helped a lot.

I still have some problem. As per your advise I tried deactivating the help totally in the Help Center ( http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/ru/48/4d8fbe13e772d1e10000000a42189c/content.htm ) but surprisingly I don't have IMG activity node

Hide Link to Application Help in the Help Center.


Can you please advise.

thanks in advance,

PK

Hi Siddharth,

In our system the flag "Application Help Shown in the Help Center" is turned off by default but the links are still showing up. I could disable the links at the individual component OVP but it would be really helpful to us if we could find a cetral configurtion which would affect all the components and hide the links for all the WDA components instead of deactivating it at the individual OVP.

Can you please help

thanks in advance,

PK

Hi PK,

the IMG activity that allows for maintenance of the parameter "Application Help Shown in the Help Center" does not influence the availability of the help center in WDA (it also says so in the IMG documentation). You can, as you also already stated, remove the icon/button to the help center in the FPM-Toolbar via configuration of the FPM-Usage, but the functionality for the help-center itself cannot be deactivated (you can still reach it via F1 nevertheless); there currently is no such possibility as far as I know and there probably won't be as long as SAP doesn't add a value "NONE" or something to the parameter WDHELPCENTERDISPLAY...

Cheers, Lukas

P.S. the parameter WDHIDEMOREFIELDHELPASDEFAULT has nothing to do with the help center whatsoever.

Yes lukas you are correct,

There is no way to remove the help button choice from OIF via the OIF configuration.

For the Componet type FPM_OIF_COMPONENT there is no Option or missing

in system configuration tool to customize help and Personlization

function, to accomodate chages one can  enhance the Assistance class

namaed CL_FPM_OIF_ASSIST , RENDER_HEADER method to remove the button

from the toolbar.
