SAP Screen Personas is a powerful personalization tool that allows users to tailor SAP GUI screens to their specific business needs, without any programming. It enhances user experience by simplifying, streamlining, and customizing SAP transactions, particularly for SAP ERP systems. While much of SAP Screen Personas' functionality revolves around scripting, flavor creation, and UI adjustments, understanding the underlying tables that store configuration and metadata is essential for efficient troubleshooting, migration, and governance.
In this article, we’ll introduce the core SAP Screen Personas tables and their roles in the personalization framework.

To access these tables, SAP professionals typically use transactions such as SE16, SE16N, or SE11. These tools allow users to browse, filter, and analyze table data.
However, modification of these tables directly in a production environment is not recommended, as it may lead to system inconsistencies or data corruption. Always perform such actions in a controlled development or quality assurance environment.
SAP Screen Personas tables form the backbone of the personalization framework, storing vital information about custom flavors, scripts, and role mappings. A foundational understanding of these tables not only empowers SAP professionals to manage Personas more effectively but also ensures better governance and system health.
By leveraging the insights from these tables, organizations can make informed decisions about UI personalization, driving improved productivity and user satisfaction in SAP environments.
