Introduction to Personalization & Configuration:

More often when working with frequently used application, we would like to personalize them in a way we prefer.

The “Personalization and Configuration” features in Focused Run for SAP Solution Manager have been implemented to fulfill the same.

Personalization in System Monitoring:

System monitoring application comprises of different views namely “Status overview”, “Alert ticker”, “System List”, “System Hierarchy”, “Events”, “Metrics”. All these views can be customized, except the “System Hierarchy view

Step 1: Click on the “Add” button on the left navigation pane.

You can now see that a new navigation item by name “custom_page” has been added to the pane.

Step 2: From the right pane drag and drop “Status overview” item from the creatable views under view management section.

Step 3: Now click on the header of this status overview pod.
