Symptom

- After saving the layout as view, the new view cannot be found.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Access a app like "Manage Purchase Order"
- Change some layouts like add a filter or column.
- Save the new layout as a view.
- There is no "Save as" button. Or the new view cannot be found when accessing the app again.
Cause
Parameter UI5FLEX_ENABLE_VARIANTS specifies if users are allowed to create and adapt views and whether they're allowed to share them.
In the app "Manage Launchpad Setting", the parameter UI5FLEX_ENABLE_VARIANTS is set to NONE, which means that users are not allowed to create or adapt views. They can still set a view as favorite and change their default view. Optionally, they can also choose whether a view should be applied automatically, meaning a search should immediately be triggered as soon as the view is selected.
Resolution
In the app "Manage Launchpad Setting", set the parameter UI5FLEX_ENABLE_VARIANTS to PRIVATE or PUBLIC:
- PUBLIC (default)
Users are allowed to create and adapt new views. By selecting the Public checkbox, they can also share them with other users.
- PRIVATE
Users are allowed to create and adapt new views, but the Public checkbox is not displayed, preventing users from sharing views.
