Maintaining your User Profile

An SAP screen can contain the following simple screen elements:  Command field  Menu bar, system function bar, title bar, application toolbar, status bar  Check boxes  Radio buttons  Tab You can start applications directly by entering their transaction code in the command field, which is usually hidden. Find transaction code. You can find the transaction code for an application either in the overview menu on the SAP Easy Access screen, in the status bar (see below), or in the application itself under System → Status. The Menu bar is the top line of any dialog window in the SAP system. The menus shown here depend on which application you are in. These menus may also contain cascading menus. The pushbuttons in the standard toolbar are shown on every SAP screen. If they are not available in an application, pushbuttons that you cannot use on that screen are deactivated. If you place the cursor over a pushbutton for a short time, the system displays a flag with the name or function of the pushbutton. If appropriate, the corresponding function key setting is also displayed. The title bar is the function that you are currently in. The application toolbar shows the pushbuttons available in the application that you are currently in. The Status bar displays information on the current system status, such as warnings and errors. You can also change the display variant to show, for example, the transaction code of the transaction you are currently in. Within a field group check boxes allow to select several options at the same time. With radio buttons you can only select one option. A tab organizes several subscreens to improve clarity. Input fields and pushbuttons are additional screen elements.
