Can report selection variants be saved for personal use only?

[Former Member]

I have created some sap selection reports which allow the user to create and save selection criteria variants. These become automatically available to all users.

Is there a way I can alter this so all users will only be able to view/use variants they have personally created?

Thanks,

Hi,

There is something called as "protect Variant" while saving the variant. But this will not allow any one to change the variant other than the person who created it or last changed it.

However...if this doen't solve the purpsoe you might have to go through programatically.

thanks

yes, you can have varient for specific user.

when u save variant, one pop-up is displayed. there there is one option user specific. check that and you will have user specific variant means that variant is available for user logged on with that specified

Hi,

Checking the user specific option sounded like the answer to my question. However, I don't see that as an option on the save popup.

I see only for background processing, protect variant and only display in catalog. Perhaps this is an option not installed for copy of sap?

Hi Bill,

I too do not think that it is possible to create user specific variants. A variants created by any user will be available for all the other users also. To meet your requirement you can try through program .

Hi Bill,

I don't think Variant can be user specific. It may be client dependent or independent and protected, but it can be specific to a user.
