Workplace layouts becoming default

[Robin Sahasranam]

I think I have found the answer to my problem. Apparently several users have
SAP_ALL profiles in the Test system and one of them managed to change the
Default Layout for everyone. This should not be an issue in Production. I now
believe the transports worked fine.
 
Thank you Patrick for your response.

Hello Robin,
 
I think you are on the right track.  To create a layout that is available
to others, you have to save it as a default setting with a '/' in front of
the layout name.  To  keep that from becoming the default setting for
everyone in the system, you (with your gleaming Office Administrator
authorizations) can either de-select the "default" check from the manage
layouts option, or you can create a different /SAP_STANDARD layout and
specify that as the global default.
 
Either way, your elite squad of specialized workflow users can then, each
from her/his own inbox, select the layout you created for them.  They will
want to save a copy of that layout (display variant in 4.6B), as user
specific, thoughtfully deleting the '/' from front of the name.  Then, from
the Manage Layouts option, they can set the saved user-specific layout as
their own personal default.  That will override the global setting for the
individual user if you go with option 2 above.
 
If anyone knows of a better way to specify a default layout for a specific
set of users, I'd be eager to hear.

Subject:    Workplace layouts becoming default
 
Hi Business Workplace experts
 
I have created  a new Business Workplace workflow global layout  and
transported
it to our Test system (R/3 4.6c). I meant this layout to be an additional
layout
to be used by a small group of users who would make this their default
layout
using the Manage layout. However, I found that in the Test system the new
layout
I created has become the default layout.
 
How do I prevent the new layout from becoming the default?
 
Should I save the SAP delivered layout under another global layout name
(e.g.
/SAP_STANDARD) and make thet the default?
 
Thanks for your help.
