Change the column s equence Change the column width Hide columns If you wan t to revoke the ready for input s tatus of individual colu mn s or prea ss ign values to table control fields , you mus t create a s creen variant since the adm inistrator function for table controls does not support this. You s hould als o use a scree n variant for adjus ting table controls if you wan t to copy the table control s ettings to other clien ts. Since screen variants can be transported, their corresponding table control layouts can be transported as well. Administrator Function for Table Control Settings Use rs wi th authorization ‘ TCTR’ in authorization object ‘S_ADMI_FCD' can de fine a la yout variant of a table control as a s tandard setting. This setting (variant) then becom es the table control’s global s etting for all users whenever they start the trans action. If you do n ot define a s ystem -wide variant, the s ystem interprets the s creen definition a s the global se tting. In order to define a table control for the entire system, proceed as follows: 1. Start the trans action in question and na vigate to the appropriate table control. 2. Use the Table controls icon to activate the Global settings variant (if this is not already the case). 3. Adjust the table control to your specifications (column width and column position can be a djusted; all columns you do n ot need can be h idden by se tting their width to zero).

One column of the table control must rem ain visible. 4. Choose Adm inistrator from the di alog b ox that appears when you activate theTable settings icon.
