Undo user personalization

[Former Member]

Hi everyone.

How can we reverse a particular user's personalization on a webdynpro component? I am not talking about the property WDDISABLEUSERPERSONALIZATION here.

What happened is that on a simple webdynpro component that has only one view outputting a table I mistakenly right clicked on the table and chose User Settings -> Hide table. The table disappeared and I cannot get it back. All I see is a completely blank web page.

Because there are no other elements on the screen I cannot right click and choose Discard Settings For Entire Application. If I right click on the blank page I just get the usual IE context menu for a page with options like View Source etc.

Simply adding the property WDDISABLEUSERPERSONALIZATION = X won't work because then everyone else is affected and cannot use personalization. I just want an undo facility.

Please help

Hello Anand and Arjun

I appreciate the answers guys. However as I said in my original post if there is one main element (a table in my case) and you hide that then you do not have access anymore to the context menu User Settings -> Invisible Elements etc.

The SAP generated Javascript that creates the context menu for User settings etc requires that you right click on an element. If the only element has been hidden then this context menu does not get shown. All that appears is the default IE context menu for Back, Reload, View Source etc.

Hi Dave,

I am not sure if that is true.

I have tried it myself. I have only one UI element on my view. Even if I hide it and then right click on the screen, I do get the User Setting context menu. I am not sure why you are not getting that menu. Try making a new application.

Even I dont get user settings context menu when all the UI elements in the application are hidden. Please refer to the link below which says

"You can make hidden elements visible again by calling any other element."

Hi Dave,

Just right click on the screen>user settings>invisible elements-->there you'll see an option to restore the table. Use it.
