Overview
Personalizing R/ 3 enables you to provide the R/ 3 experience preferred by your u ser comm un ity. In this
docum ent, we walk you through th e personalization features and p rovide tips on how to effectively use
them w ith your 3.1 R/ 3 imp lementation. The features listed in this document d o not require any expensive
code modification.
Features
Here is a quick overview of the various personalization features available in R/ 3.
Globals: Globals in R/ 3 enable you to p re-fill fields that often hav e single default values that ap ply across
your entire R/ 3 imp lementation. Using Globals, you can d efine default values for all modu le program
instances of fields th at belong to a p re-defined list of R/ 3 Data Dictionary Domain.
User Parameters: User param eters sup ply defaults to R/ 3 fields of a par ticular user.
User Defaults: Using user defaults you can specify user-preferred characteristics such a s pr inter, curr ency
format, date format, etc.
Parameter Transactions: Param eter transactions enable you to d efine defaults for the initial screen of an y
transaction in R/ 3. Optionally, you can also hide the initial screen su ch that th e user can directly navigate
to the details.
Transaction Variants: Using transaction var iants, you can create transaction var iants (or variant
transactions) that p rovide u sers with tran sactions containing just the fields and screens that are ap plicable
for your R/ 3 implementation.
Master Data: The R/ 3 Imp lementation Guide provides transactions that enable you to define the group of
fields/ data that you wan t to collect regard ing master entities such as Vendor, Customer, Material, etc ofyour bu siness enterprise.
Area Menu: Area menu in R/ 3 enables you to create an entirely your own R/ 3 view includ ing just the
functionality imp lemented at you r installation or app licable for a specific workgrou p.
User Menu: Via user m enu, the R/ 3 users can create their own p ersonal view of R/ 3 includ ing just the
activities/ transactions that are relevant for the work they p erform.

Application A rea: There are number of application area specific personalization transactions that let you
pick and choose the fields and screens you wan t the area specific transactions to d isplay. These
transactions are included as part of the R/ 3 Implementation Guide.
R/3 Report Navigator: The R/ 3 Report N avigator provides a comprehensive listing of all the operational
reports ava ilable in the standard release of R/ 3. It also provid es information on m ost of the listed rep orts.
Using the features d elivered as p art of R/ 3 Report N avigator, you can p ersonalize the report listing or the
report info sheets with information tha t is just relevant for you r u sers.

Before proceeding...
In this guide, we p rovide instructions on how you can effectively make use of user p aram eters.
Report Navigator is an add -on d eliverable you can obtain for your R/ 3 imp lementation.
SAP Shortcuts is part of the stand ard 4.0c deliverable. We are planning to p rovide 3.0D and

Overview
User p aram eters sup ply d efaults to R/ 3 fields. If a field is ind icated, the system au tomatically fills in
default value. Depend ing on the field definition, the entry can also be replaced w ith a value entered by theuser.
The two inp ut fields on the p aram eter maintenance screen are as follows:
PID: Enter the p aram eter ID for which you w ant to d efine a default value. You can d isplay all of the
parameter IDs d efined in the system by clicking F4.
Parameter value: Enter the default value for the p aram eter.
Other user definable options
Besides u ser parameters, you can define the following user options.
