search result in em web ui

[former_member193027]

hi.

i would like to know the limitation of the number of columns that can be displayed in the search result.

The client requires that around 20 odd columns should be displayed in the search result.

Is there any limitation to this and if so how we can provide proper spacing so that all columns are in readbale format

Hi Dipak,

I am not sure of the exact upper limits of the number of columns that can be displayed on the search results however we have used 40 columns in our search results without any issues.

As of the new EM 9.0 Web UI, SAP has many new developments to improve usability of the column widths. Make sure that you have enabled the Web Dynpro Guideline 2.0 (GL20) in the web dynpro global settings application. It adds a horizontal scroll bar to the ALV tables which allows scrolling if the window is smaller than the sum of all columns. You can also setup the column widths (display length) in the "Configure Fields for User Profiles" customizing. Enter the number of expected characters or you can leave the field blank (clear display length/column width) and the system will analyze the table data during run time and automatically set the optimal column width each time you press the search button. 

If you are not yet on EM 9.0, you can still add an enhancement to the standard web dynpro UI /SAPTRX/EM_WDA_UI in order to add/enable the horizontal scroll bar for better usability.

Jonathan Hansen

Do we update the config for selection fields for display under "Configure Fields for User Profiles" customizing

Hi Dipak,

You would update your appropriate configured field(s) in folder "Configure Fields for Display" under the IMG customizing location: Event Management>Event Messages, Status Queries, and Web Interface>Web Interface>Configure Fields for User Profiles.

Don't forget to run transaction /SAPTRX/UCCF afterwards.

can you tell me where to find in spro -enabled the Web Dynpro Guideline 2.0 (GL20) in the web dynpro global settings application

It cannot be found in the IMG (SPRO). Go here instead:

Cross-Application Settings for Web Dynpro ABAP: https://[application server name]/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap /wd_global_setting?sap-client=[client number]

You can also find some detailed information here:
