How to add and hide more fields in PPM?

[Former Member]

Hello,

Im new to this tool and I would like to know how to add and/or hide customized fields. I've only know that Its somewhere under SPRO > Global Enhancements to Project Elements but Im a little bit lost there. Can somebody explain to me with details how to do this and also, does this need a specific access of developer to do this customization?

As this is a basic need for all, anybody that is new on the tool and search for this will have a good reference on this thread.

Thanks in advance.

Many regards!

Hi,

From the post i understand that you wish to add custom fields in PPM 5.0 and also hide fields not needed by business.

Is that the requirement ?

If yes then hiding is possible from field control in IMG > SPRO. If you wish to add custom fields then you have to proceed by adding custom fields to structure CI_DPR* structures. Once you add fields to these structures, create webdynpro UI elements corresponding to the custom field and map it to the dictionary structure.

hope this helps..

Thats right we are using here PPM 5.0.

"If you wish to add custom fields then you have to proceed by adding custom fields to structure CI_DPR* structures. Once you add fields to these structures, create webdynpro UI elements corresponding to the custom field and map it to the dictionary structure."

I saw some other help in other sources and the answer for this problem was similar with the one you gave me. The thing is: how can I do that? I dont know the path or how to configure this, i need more details.

Many thanks!!

Okay, start with the first step.

SE11>DB table > DPR_PROJECT (all tables start from DPR*) > go to the include structure > CI_DPR_PROJECT.

Open the strycture in edit mode and add your field there.

Hope this is detailed enough.

The path is SPRO > Global Enhancements to Project Elements > Setup field control.Herein,once you select the field control you may proceed towards defining the conditions that influence the same. A step by step approach is explained in the below article that will aid you to change properties of custom fields.
