A new version of the SAP add-on solution from target software solution GmbH based on the latest SAP ERP 6.0 software has been available on the market in November 2009.
The integrated implementation of the programming model Web Dynpro für ABAP (WD4A) represents the greatest enhancement in this version of the idea management software. WD4A is the preferred SAP technology for user interfaces (UIs). WD4A offers many elements that simplify use and make the interface more attractive. For example, in tables, you now have the options to sort in one click on a column, to export to Microsoft Excel, to print as a PDF document, or to configure the tables in any way you want. The road-map element makes sense for use in submitting ideas or completing reviews so that users can visually follow the steps required in these processes. Additional tips are displayed for info when users require more details. Idea managers can incorporate images, statistics, an idea ticker, and latest messages when creating their own idea management home pages. The user role-dependent menu can be positioned on the left or on top of the screen in a navigation tree format.
All applications using WD4A have a standard appearance, so that the employees can quickly get to work with all SAP Employee Self-Service (ESS) applications and target Idea Management (TM).
Other important technical enhancements were made in the new version. Through the use of the SAP search and classification engine TREX, users can now more easily find ideas. For example, electronic attachments can now be searched and results can be sorted according to their ranking order so that ideas that match the search query best appear first in the results.
RSS feeds can now be implemented to inform users about ideas automatically and in real time about the ideas that correspond to their personalized interest profile. In addition, submitters can be informed each time a change is made to one of the ideas they submitted.
Furthermore, helpful desktop mini-applications can be added using Yahoo! Widgets.
target is recommending the implementation of the WD4A solution for new projects. target customers have sufficient time to upgrade their installations currently based on Internet Transaction Server (ITS). All ITS installations are to be replaced by WD4A installations after three years. To the greatest degree possible, the migration of customer configurations is carried out by electronic conversion programs.
The new version of target Idea Management (TM) is available as of November 2009 in German and English languages, with French, Italian, and Spanish available in January/February 2010. Additional language versions are in progress.
