CAT2 - How do I make a new field/column visible?

1499 Views

I have hit a road block and can't seem to make any headway on making a new field/column visible on the CAT2 timesheet.

I have a request to add a column to the CAT2 timesheet that allows a time administrator to enter free form text.

I started by using CAC2 and chose Worklist ,chose Influencing, and chose the correct profile. Once there, I am trying to use the "Additional field 1" field CATS_ADDFI-FIELD1_W and set it from Hide to Input. I did the same thing under Data entry section.

Next, I went into CAT2, clicked on the Configuration icon, then the Administrator button and unchecked the Invisible box next to the Fld name = CAT2_ADDFI-FIELD1, changed the No. of fixed columns from 70 to 71, then clicked Activate, then Close. At this point I saved the variant and set it as teh default and clicked save. Once I went back to the timesheet, the column does not display and when I go back into the Configuration, the Invisible box is checked as if I never unchecked it.

What am I doing wrong??!!?? Any bread crumbs of help would be greatly appreciated. Just FYI, I have the correct authorization object S_ADMI_FCD on my role. Has anyone else had trouble saving the Configuration changes or am I trying to use an unusable field?
