Move configurable area above another

[Former Member]

In the CRM 7.0 WEB UI if you click the little button to modify a page like the contacts page.

Then it allows you to select a "Configurable Area". And then you can click the configurable area to modify it.

All I want to do is move a configurable area above another configurable area.

Is this possible?

Hi Jon,

next to the icon to configure a configurable area is another icon, which allows to configure the overview page. There you can change the positions of the different areas.

Martin,

I am aware of that icon however that is only to move the entire sub assignment blocks around.

I have in the top area three sections like so:

So I want to move one config area above the other. See the screen shot.

Hi,

If you want something like moving Business Dev. Manager block below Main Address & Communication data then that is view movement not configurable area movement.

You can achieve that via component workbench BSP_WD_CMPWB->Runtime Rep.->Viewsets.

Shobhit,

I am inside BSP WD Workbench and inside BP_CONT but what do you mean viewsets...

I see all the views for instance BP_CONT/ContactDetails.

Where do I go from here?

Shobhit I click on Runtime Repository Ediitor

and I see viewsets

I expand this and select BP_CONT/ContactViewSet

So Now I see 4 different view areas...

I see details, employee (BP_CONT/SalesEmployee), Home (BP_ADDR.BP_ADDR/StandardAddressWindow, and Notes...

So what I want to do is just move the Home viewset above employee but I dont see a way to do that ?

Go to your component Runtime rep editor and use drag & drop.

Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about

http://screencast.com/t/I2UDfSsxxkd

I cannot drag and drop...it wont let me.

I am in the component

In the view set

what am I dragging and dropping?

Shobhit, when you give answers can you please be a bit more detailed?

I want to keep both viewareas home and employee I can see that I can drag the view but I dont want to do that I want to move the entire view area of Home before the view area of employee.

Check the changes in the images, you need to move the view in the view area.

Shobhit,

This appears to be a sloppy solution.

Isnt there a way then to rename the view, because the image you posted now is misleading if someone where to look at the viewsets. They would see a view called Employee with address data and aview called home with sales employee data.

This is a bit strange by SAP.

Hi,

You can try removing the view area and then add them again in order, use your brain to do some experiments to learn or else check with SAP.

Sorry shobhit I am fairly new to CRM so I was feeling a bit scared to just remove a view area. I've never messed with the view sets. Telling someone to use your brain is probably not the right thing to do though. This is a community that SAP has put together to help us all. We (the forums) are a stepping stone to help the newcomers and people who need help. We should not say things like "Use your brain" or "figure it out on your own". That is the whole purpose of a forum. I have reported it as abuse so please watch your language.

Hi Jon,

I do know the purpose of this forum and also the need to help people out here that is why i am taking out time to help others while doing my own job as well. I think you should appreciate someone's effort for this if not then atleast shouldn't use words like " a sloppy solution".

People come over here to fulfill their requirement, problems and for help and we as members are not owners of SAP to fix out the bug or suggest the accurate and quality solution. People over here many times provide multiple solution for single issue You have to decide which is the best suitable answer as per your requirement and should be thankful to everyone who took their time to help you, you cannot demand or taunt someone for the Perfect solution.

I think you should have read my whole sentence + "use your brain to do some experiments to learn" + the only thing which i want to suggest using those words was that you have to play with the application to learning many things since there any no standard or good documents available hence experiment are the choice left to us to fix some of our requirements.

You should not be scared to change those things as if you try to change any SAP standard objects it will ask for developer or access key,unless you do something how you will learn.

Anyways, all the Best.

Shobhit,

Maybe it was a misinterrpretation on my part. But I've noticed a lot of your answers to others are very similiar.

Very short without providing good solutions its almost as if you are just trying to gain points. Remember in the end points don't necessarily mean much. You cannot turn your points into the IRS and expect some sort of refund.

My suggestion was that when you do try to answer, try to be detailed, and give specifics, you leave the reader all the more confused when you give them these one liners that are misspelled or don't make much sense (I know you are trying to work from memory).

It's nice you provide a lot of help, in fact you've helped me in the past. But you just don't tell people to "Use their brain...".

In my reply about a sloppy solution, was the fact that you've put a viewset into a viewarea that do not make sense (in this case we put address information in a viewheader called salesemployee). Remember I didn't know you can just randomly add these view areas, I was a bit scared to delete or re-add thinking it would have an affect on the entire view area. But now I learned, from you in fact, that this is possible so thank you for that.

I've marked the thread as answered.

Hi,

Yes you are correct points wont turn into refunds its just shows your contributions, i do help because people help me in my need so do i. Forum members are real people who at the same time do their job also, most of the time people used to just see the thread title and if they think they know something related they reply with some approach or solutions or even some other related posts.

If someone has a free time they might read the whole question and try to give the exact or best possible solution. I'm also working here on CRM changes with lot of work, i cant put everything stepwise even when i myself is busy in some of my production issues but if i know the real full or good solution at that time i do mention in detailed steps otherwise i will provide some approach which i do most of the time as you have checked & mentioned but sometime people use it affectively if they can to solve their issue

Check the thread [http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1880602&tstart=0] maybe sometime i used to provide detailed sol as i said.

Still i'm learner over here & try to help people with my little knowledge or whatever i know till i can and if i have the time.

Thanks,

Shobhit

Now that is nice Shobhit.

Bravo!

Thank you guys for playing nicely eventually. If there is an issue like this again, please take this up with a moderator or SCN admin team instead of turning this into bickering argument in the thread.

That being said some of the language used in both back and forth responses was a little too harsh in both cases. Let's try to avoid name-calling as needed.

Thank you,

To any new comer here is the resolution in a step by step format:

Steps To Resolve Issue

1. Determine which component (use the F2 Key on the UI)

2. Determine the viewset to do this there is a button u201CShow View Locationu201D on the bottom of the F2 technical data window.

3. Go into the component workbench, transaction BSP_WD_CMPWB

4. Enter for instance BP_CONT (the component)

5. On the left side click the button Runtime Repository Editor

6. Expand Viewsets

7. Ensure you are in edit mode

8. Now you can go to the view set BP_CONT/ContactViewSet (you got this from step 2 above)

9. Now just drag and drop one view into a view set and move the other view into another view set.

In my case we just moved the viewset that was inside the viewarea employee with the viewset that was inside the viewarea home.

You can also create a new view area and move the viewset to this view area. To do this simply right click the viewset and select "Add View Area"

Hi Jon

I have a similar requirement, in the screen shot you provided via link there is a Notes section at the bottom of the view.In our case we do not have /need the Business Development manager area so there is some real estate which is free to use.

We want to use this space to fit the Notes section there, we want to make the width of notes section shorter so that it fits in that area.

Do you have any idea on how to go for this ?

Thanks
