Working With Variants

If you regularly execute a report using extremely complex selection criteria, you can save a lot of time by working with variants.

To create a variant, customize the report so that it meets your requirements. This means that you

• Select the required selection fields, and enter the required values
• Use a search help, if necessary, or make a selection using the organizational structure
• Enter sort criteria, if necessary

You then save the variant, and assign it a unique name. If you want to reuse the variant later, start the report and access the variant.

The system automatically writes the values stored in the variant to the fields on the selection screen, and you can execute the variant immediately without having to enter the selection criteria again.

You can maintain specific attributes for each variant. For example, you can hide individual fields or prevent them from being overwritten.
