SAP Visibility of Individual Areas in SAP Netweaver

You can show or hide the different areas of the ALV output.

If an area is in an invisible area, the area is also invisible.

You can show and hide the following areas individually:

● Entire ALV output

● Individual column

● Every UI element used as a cell editor or cell variant

● Entire toolbar with all functions

● Individual UI elements of standard ALV functions in the toolbar

● Design object for the header area of the ALV output

● Design object for the footer area of the ALV output

To hide another object, such as the header of the ALV output or a column header, you have to delete the relevant object.
