Change order of "bizcards" for Personal Profile Overview Page

[former_member188032]

I have searched SCN and found many discussions/blogs/docs on changing config for ESS applications.  However, I have limited experience with FPM/WD4A and am a bit confused.

We just installed HR Support Packages (SAP-HR 604 80-92 and EA-HR 607 30-43).  Prior to the updates, on the Personal Profile Overview Page, the "bizcards" (for United States) were displayed as follows:

After the HR Support Packages, the order of the bizcards changed to the following:

The process owner wants the order to be what it was before we applied the Support Packages (Personal Data at top, etc).  What controls the order of display of the bizcards?  How do I change the order?  I need some detailed instructions as I do not know where to start.

Thanks in advance for any advise on this issue.

Joyce,

In the HRESS_CC_PER_OVP main page/OVERVIEW_SCREEN in the Preview section you will see each separate component of the biz card view and a number in the far lower right corner that is the screen column and sequence and that controls where the item is on the screen. You will need to make a Z copy and then change those sequences to your requirements.

I put some screen shots for you to get the idea. So you just probably need a Z copy and then just set the order to what you want or hide what you want etc.

Let me know if this makes sense?

Thanks,

Martha.

Martha,

Thank you, this does make sense.  I had looked at this but didn't know if those numbers in the lower right were the actual sequence numbers.  I will look at this in the next couple of days and will reply back if I have additional questions.

Thanks to both you and Siddharth for your explanations and help.

Martha,

I have an additional question.  What else needs to be changed so that the Personal Profile application uses the new custom Z copy for the HRESS_CC_PER_OVP config?  Do I also need to copy the application config (HRESS_AC_PERSINFO) to a Z copy, point it to the Z component config, and then change the entry in the Launchpad?

Your verification of what I think needs to be done would be appreciated.

Joyce,

Yes you will need to make a Z copy of the AC config HRESS_AC_PERSINFO and then for us we made the change in the role node details as we use NWBC for HTML with no portal. I posted 2 screen shots below showing my config. But your screen shot above gives me a question for you as is see you have SAP-IE set and I was not aware you could put that in the Launchpad so thank you for that.

Thanks,

Martha.

I started looking at the component configuration.  Based on the configuration, we should be seeing the Personal Data bizcard as the first entry in the left column of the Personal Profile Overview page.  However, it is appearing as the 3rd entry for the majority of end-users.  There also seems to be some inconsistencies as there are a few users who have it appearing as the 1st entry.  We do not allow personalization at the user level so I do not think that user personalization is causing the differences.  Can the column and sequence index attributes be overwritten somewhere else?  Do we need to clear some type of cache?  Does anyone have suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue?

Joyce,

I have had the same issues as well. We have disabled personalization in all our WD apps but some user screens where not following the layout as my customizations had dictated and I found the program to show those and clear them is a WD app WD_ANALYZE_CONFIG_USER.

Here is a really useful document I used to clear these settings in our systems

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Martha,

We have limited personalization by removing the personalization option thru Administrator customizing (&sap-config-mode=X and setting the changes to final for the object). 

I ran the WD app you mentioned for myself for component FPM_OVP_COMPONENT with configuration ID HRESS_CC_PER_OVP and do not see any user personalization but there is administrator customizing for this combination.  The administrator customizing was used to hide some of the buttons (add, delete, etc) on some of the individual bizcards and was done prior to the latest install of HR Support Packages.  At that time, the bizcards were in the desired order.

Since I do not have any user personalization, I would think that the order in the component configuration would be used, but that is not the case for me.

Do you have any other ideas?  When I use administrator customizing by starting the application HRESS_AC_PERSINFO with the &sap-config-mode=X parameter, I can drag/drop the bizcards that I see into the desired order.  However, I don't see any option to SAVE and assign this customization to a Change Request.

To do so, you must customize the overview pattern (OVP) configuration HRESS_CC_PER_OVP.•You can change the layout of the application’s business cards. You have the following options:◦At user level The user can personalize the screen. Example: The user can drag and drop business cards to change the Personal Profile page. Only the user that made the change can see the adjustment.◦At administrator level The administrator makes the change in the OVP configuration. All users can see this adjustment. You can use global personalisation to do so or use at the code level. http://scn.sap.com/thread/3703672 http://scn.sap.com/community/erp/hcm/employee-self-service/blog/2013/11/13/adding-it0023-in-ess-in-e...

Siddharth,

The referenced thread tells how to add a new infotype to the overview screen. I simply want to change the order of those that are already there.

I tried executing application configuration HRESS_AC_PERSINFO and adding parameter &sap-config-mode=X to the url. I was able to drag the "Personal Data bizcard" to the top of the page but could not find an option to SAVE this change and have it assigned to a Change Request.  Is this what you are referring to when you mention global personalization?

I'm not sure how to go about changing the OVP configuration to change the order of the bizcards. I don't understand where to look in the OVP configuration (HRESS_CC_PER_OVP) to find where the order of the bizcards is controlled.  Once I understand where to make the changes, do I copy the OVP config to a Z version.  How do I put the Z version into use?   OR - should I choose the Enhance option?    This is all new to me so I apologize for asking such basic questions.

[siddharthrajora]

Yes you are right to do at admin level

http://scn.sap.com/thread/3371665 reason i shared above level to show how its done at code level etc Yes you need to use the Z version if you change it. see the steps here in the note 2035081 - How to add a custom infotype to ESS 'Personal Profile' in WD ABAP also above link does show you the screen for the infotypes
