Here’s the latest successor within SAP GUI family. It is SAP GUI for
Windows 7.30. The 73 version is available as of 9th of April 2013. The major changes
within this version are related to improved end-user’s interface where
information is presented in a logical and easy-to-understand way. Also several
others visual and usability improvements are available to enable users organize
and complete their working tasks within the SAP environment in efficient way.
As this version of GUI is Windows based following Windows version are supported: platforms: Windows XP / 2003 Server, Windows Vista (Business, Ultimate,
Enterprise only), Windows 2008 Server, Windows 7 (Business, Ultimate, Enterprise
only), Windows 2008 R2 Server Windows 8
(Business, Ultimate, Enterprise only), Windows Server 2012.
Here’s a short list of 7.30 enhancements:
Floating Docking
Containers: Docking containers can be positioned
individually by end users. Dragging the container with the mouse to north,
west, east or south positions helps adjusting the screen layout for individual
needs.
Personalized TAB Order: Users can define their own TAB order within SAP screens. The new TAB
order allows users to jump to the next screen element of interest. Screen
elements not included in the TAB order can still be accessed by mouse clicks.
Corbu Design: this is another SAP GUI design. This design comes with a reduced
contrast when compared to SAP Signature Design and improves the integration of
SAP GUI into other SAP components like NWBC which also offer Corbu Designs.
Branding Area: A company specific logo (corporate branding, product branding) can
be embedded into the top right corner of the SAP screen. This new branding area
will help administrators to generate additional corporate communication and
corporate identity. It can be used in SAP Signature Design and in Corbu Design.
Signature Color Themes: New color themes can be applied system and client specific: Users
are enabled to easily select different Signature color themes for test,
development or productive systems and clients etc. This leads to a clear
overview over the system landscape.
System Comments in SAP
Logon: Users can add system specific
notes or information. This new edit area will help users to manage and comment
the system landscape.
SNC indication icon in
the status bar: A small icon in the SAP GUI status bar
indicates whether the connection between SAP GUI and application server is
secured (SNC is activated) or not.
End of maintenance for this version of SAP GUI is set to 15th of July
2015 (end of support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010). SAP GUI for Windows
