Many of us know how smartly the cascading style sheets (Css) can change the look .In this blog I am going to enlist some of the steps by which we can change the look of the BW report made through WAD .It may sound easy but it is tedious as there a lot of css files which SAP provides (depending on the web Brower).
The very first step is to identify which file may help us ,In this blog my primary focus will be the Navigation Block and the Table.
The CSS files can be copied in the following way.
- Login to the BW server.
- Go to Transaction SE80
- Click on MIME Repository
- Navigate Till /sap/bw/Mime/BEx/StyleSheets
BWReports.css is the file which is used as Default in the BW reports.
- Right click on the File and Select Download .
Open the file in some css editor, following diagram shows the names of the fields corresponding to the fliter block and the table.Now once we know the names of the fields in css we can modify the look according to our need( means chnage color,font add effects).In the diagram i have mentioned some of the fields of the css.
Default Table
Default Navigation Block
Once you have edited the file , save it .Now we need to upload the file to the BW server
- Login to the server
- Open Transaction Se80
- Click on MIME Repository
- Navigate Till /sap/bw/Mime/BEx/StyleSheets
- Right Click on the Stylesheet and then select import
- Choose the name of the file which you have stored
- Click Ok .
Now we can see the name of the sytlesheet which we have imported in the /sap/bw/BEx/StyleSheets
In end you have to specify the name of your new CSS file in the was report.
