Subject: SAP Screen Personas
SAP Screen Personas is a user experience (UX) enhancement tool that allows organizations to simplify and personalize SAP GUI screens without programming. It enables business users and consultants to customize SAP screens to meet specific needs, improve usability, and increase productivity by reducing the complexity of standard SAP interfaces.
SAP Screen Personas works by modifying existing SAP GUI screens through an easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface, enabling tailored screens that align with business processes and user roles.
SAP’s traditional GUI screens are often complex, dense, and not user-friendly, especially for occasional or non-technical users. SAP Screen Personas addresses this challenge by:
- Simplifying user interfaces, removing unnecessary fields and transactions.
- Personalizing screens to specific user roles or business scenarios.
- Accelerating transaction processing with streamlined layouts.
- Reducing training costs by making screens more intuitive.
- Enhancing adoption of SAP applications across the organization.
- Drag-and-Drop Editor: Allows easy customization of screens without coding.
- Flavor Creation: Different versions (“flavors”) of a screen can be created for different users or roles.
- Scripting Support: Optional scripting to automate tasks or add dynamic behavior.
- Integration: Works seamlessly with SAP GUI for Windows and SAP GUI for HTML.
- Mobile Support: Enables simplified screens to be used on mobile devices.
SAP Screen Personas sits on top of the SAP GUI and modifies the rendering of SAP screens in real-time based on user-defined “flavors.” These flavors control what fields are visible, hidden, repositioned, or emphasized.
Users can:
- Remove irrelevant fields and tabs.
- Combine multiple screens into one.
- Add buttons or shortcuts for frequent actions.
- Change colors, fonts, and layouts to improve readability.
- Improved User Experience: Tailored screens reduce user frustration and errors.
- Increased Efficiency: Simplified screens speed up data entry and processing.
- Faster Deployment: Changes can be implemented quickly without developer involvement.
- Flexibility: Screens can be personalized at user, role, or organizational level.
- Cost Savings: Lower training and support costs due to intuitive interfaces.
- Simplifying complex transaction screens for occasional users.
- Creating role-specific views for sales, finance, or warehouse staff.
- Consolidating multiple transaction steps into a single screen.
- Enabling mobile-friendly SAP access with simplified interfaces.
SAP Screen Personas is a powerful tool that empowers businesses to transform standard SAP GUI screens into efficient, user-friendly, and personalized interfaces. By improving usability and reducing complexity, SAP Screen Personas helps maximize user productivity and adoption of SAP systems.
