Exploring Admin Objects in SAP Fieldglass

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to explain how the data structures of an SAP Fieldglass tenant can be accessed and edited.

The Data Structures of a Tenant

An organization’s instance of SAP Fieldglass—called a tenant—is constructed to serve the unique needs of that organization. It is built upon two interrelated types of data:

  • the configuration and
  • the structure.

Watch the video to learn more about how a company’s configuration and structure affect how a company can perform transactions in SAP Fieldglass.

The Admin Menu

All of that administrative data is managed through what’s called the Admin Menu.

The Admin Menu presents the tools that are used to create and maintain the structures that allow transactions to occur: an organization’s administrative information, rules, and processes. It facilitates solutions for an organization’s workforce goals and objectives by defining the data objects that affect visibility, user access, and transactional workflows.

Admin Objects

All of the data objects listed in the admin menu are Admin Objects.

Some of the admin objects demonstrably affect transactions, requiring users to make certain choices that are configured through the admin object. Others effectively remove choice and affect a transaction strictly through the associations made to other admin objects.

These admin objects do NOT allow users to edit the underlying functionality that a tenant is configured to use. Instead, the admin objects allow administrators to structure those available functions to suit their worker procurement processes.
