Standard SAP is showing up just only 4 fields, our users want more, can we achieve it?

[former_member194142]

Hello,

In our webdyn pro component we used KUNNR as data type for CUSTOMER_NUMB attribute of KNA1 context node, hence we are seeing the below Search help, well, but SAP is displaying only 4 fields by DEFAULT on the dialog box, we want to have more, for example, 10 fields should show up by default in search help dialog box, pls. let us know how can we increase the # of fields on a search help on a custom webdyn pro?

We are aware of that by clicking the + plus symbol we can add the 5 field, well, but its just one time, I mean, we want to save this w/ 5th field, as a user specific layout (just like ALV layout) for this search help for that user so that user every time need not to add the 5th field explicitly by clicking the + plus symbol

Pls. help us either letting us know how to over ride the default 4 fields availability/show up on a search help dialog box or saving a user specific layout setting for ever, wherein user want max. # of fields showing up on search help dialog box?

Actually, you know this is bcz of new theme of CORBU, previously we were on w/ TRADE_SHOW theme and this trade show is very good bcz it shows all the fields on the search help dialog box, as below, hence users used to it and users want the same/max # of fields show up

Thank you

Hi,

It is the standard property and the maximum no of fields to show (4) is hard coded in the standard component.

you know this is bcz of new theme of CORBU, previously we were on w/ TRADE_SHOW theme and this trade show is very good bcz it shows all the fields on the search help dialog box,

It's not bcoz of the theme, it is because of the new UI guideline 2.0. If you want to show all the fields on the search help dialog box, add the application parameter  WDUIGUIDELINE=GL11 ( please remember that this may change the appearance of other UI elements in the application)

hope this helps u,

Regards,

Awesome, gr8.

Thank you Kiran.

But, not sure ,

1)  How did you figure it out that this (just 4 fields) is bcz of UI Guideline app param?

2) If so, how do you know GL11 will fix it?

3) how do you know we are having GL20 in place, bcz in the below sap help link sap said GL11 is the default?

4) In which component SAP hard coded as 4?

5) Pls. let us know what are other params we need to check/test for our custom app?

Hi,

From the screen shot, it shows that the search help is using select options 2.0 which is bcoz of GL20, for GL11 select options 1.0 will be used( which is your required one). So if you want to display all fields, use the parameter WDUIGUIDELINE=GL11 in your application.

Thank you, yes, I followed your suggestion and now I can see all fields in search help popup, well.

But, pls. suggest us

1) Where did you see as SELECT OPTIONS 2.0 in the posted screen shot of OP?

2) In which component SAP hard coded as 4?

3) Pls. let us know what are other app params (for example, as you suggested GUIDELINE app param) we need to check/test for our custom app?

Thank you

Hi,

1>> In your original from your first screen shot, its clear that it's select options 2.0 ( which fields as drop down)

2>> WDR_F4_ELEMENTARY

3>> that depends on your requirement for your custom application

hope this helps,

Hi Kiran

Can go with OVS search help instead of changing the Guideline 20?

Hi,

I think you are working on an OVS Search help. It is a default layout structure and you have a maximum of four searchable fields. That is why you will be provided with an option to select the same extra field using the option available in the search help drop down.

If you need to optimize the search help you can better choose FPM Search UIBB, such that we can add as many number of Search Help fields
