Customizing the SAP Easy Access Screen

The SAP Easy Access screen (Figure 2.11) is the default home page of the system. You can move or navigate to the initial screens of transactions from this screen by either entering transaction codes in the command field of the standard toolbar or clicking the transaction links in the SAP menu and Favorites folders, which appear in the left panel of its central work area. (See Part II for further discussion of navigation.)

You can also customize the layout and contents of the SAP Easy Access screen by following this next procedure.

Procedure: Customizing the SAP Easy Access Screen

Step 1.	Follow the menu path Extras > Settings (Figure 2.11A).
Step 2.	The Settings popup screen appears (Figure 2.12). It provides four options for customizing the central work area. You can place the Favorites folders (Figure 2.11B) in the lower part of the central work area by selecting the Display favorites at end of list option. This is a good choice if you do not use the Favorites folders to navigate. You can display only the Favorites folders and hide the SAP menu folders (Figure 2.11C) by selecting the Do not display menu, only display favorites option. This is a good choice if you do not use the SAP menu folders to navigate. You can hide the picture in the right panel (D) by selecting the Do not display screen option. (This action shortens the display time for the screen.) You can also widen or narrow the two panels by clicking-and-dragging the pane (E) between them. You can display the transaction codes along with the names of transactions in the Favorites and SAP menu folders by selecting the Display technical names option. (We describe transaction codes in Lesson 7.) Figure 2.12. Customize the central work area with the options on this popup screen.
Step 3.	Select the desired options, then hit the Enter key on your keyboard to record your changes and erase the Settings popup screen.
