Appraisal template creation and modification in PMR

[Former Member]

Hello Everyone,

Hope all are doing well. I have query in creating PMR appraisal template and integration of that in SAP portal.I am new to appraisals and need some direction. We are using ECC EHP7 and Portal 7.4.

Overview of existing scenario:

We have SAP Portal where users can login and fill the appraisal templates. We have integrated the templates in portal using webdynpro application 'hap_start_page_powl_ui_ess' and with configuration 'HAP_START_PG_POW_ESS_AC'.

In the existing scenario, Employee fill the comments in appraisal template and sent to manager for review after completion. Manager will be notified by email and start the review after the notification. Status of template will be changed according to the phase of PMR template.

To be implement scenario:

We have requirement of chaning of Fonts, colors, text edit of input fields in Appraisal form and also would like to know the possibility of editing the appraisal document simultaneously by employee and manager irrespective of status change. Below are the requirements and please refer the attached screenshots for more details.

Requirement for Appraisal form to be implemented:

1) Input boxes to be bigger than the current ones we have at the moment so that people do not have to endlessly scroll through their input.

so    2) Regardless of the status, both the employee and the manager can entered their input into all of the fields simultaneously.

Is it possible to achieve the mentioned requirements?. If yes, Please provide the inputs to implement the new features. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Regards,

Venkatesh

Hello Venkatesh,

Nice day.

For 1), you can consider activating the switch HAP_SFWS_UI_ENH_01 so that the dynamical document body view instead of the general one is used. In dynamic view, you will see a checkbox of "Expand Text Field" by selecting which the note field will be expanded.

As for your expectation to have font/color etc editing options, "Rich Text Editor" can be considered.

But it need to carry out customizing on your own, because in standard this is not supported.

For 2), Please set the 'Column Access' for the elements as Edit in the template. This can be done in
transaction code PHAP_CATALOG_PA. Please select the template and the Column Access tab to carry out the setting.

Best regards.
