Best way to pre-populate material variable with values for users

[Former Member]

Hi, I have a requirement to prepopulate a material variable with about 5 materials and that is the materials that will default when the query is called. The users would also need the ability to change those values.

My thought is to create a User-exit variable that derives the values from a user maintained table (infoobject).

Does anyone else have any suggestions or ideas on the best way to handle this?

Hi Kenneth,

what you describe sound exactly like what the personalization is meant for? Then you don't have to do anything but the users type in their materials once (into the variable selection at runtime) and press the "personalization" button.

Sorry, I was mistaken, this only works in transaction RSRT but not in the frontend because the variable line vanishes after personlization. I agree that your suggestion is probably the best one.
