- [Instructor] Let's talk about adjusting
some of our user settings in SAP.
The SAP GUI has many different settings that can be changed.
The setting changes are tied to our SAP login ID
and they'll stay in place every time we log in
to the system.
First, let's talk about changing our theme.
To do this, we'll go to more,
SAP GUI settings and actions, options.
On the left side, under visual design,
we'll click theme settings.
We can see that our current theme selected
is the Belize theme.
If we chose another theme and clicked apply,
our change of theme would show up the next time
we logged into the system.
Just be aware that by changing these themes,
the menu bars and the buttons sometimes change
from words to icons and vice versa.
There are many other keyboard and visualization settings
that can be adjusted.
Let's look at one now called tool tips.
to do this, we'll look under interactive design
and click notifications.
It's recommended the new users turn the tool tip on.
This means that whenever we hover over a button
or icon in the system,
a hint will pop up to describe what the icon
or button actually does.
We'll change our tool tip delay from no tool tip
to medium, 0.5 seconds.
We'll click apply and OK.
The third helpful setting we want to turn on
is called displaying technical names.
Right now, when we look under our favorites folder,
on the left side of the screen, it says create material.
There's no transaction code showing.
Let's turn on our display technical names.
To do this, we'll go more, extras, settings.
The settings menu has four options that are all preferences
about our SAP easy access screen.
For this setting, we're interested in the last option.
We'll click the check box to activate it
to display our technical names.
Then we'll press continue.
We now see under our favorites folder
on the left side of the screen
MM01 create material where MM01 is the transaction code
for this favorite.
This is a helpful way to start memorizing the T codes
we need to use frequently.
There are many user settings we can customize in SAP.
We can continuously fine tune to make the software work best
for our needs.
