Business Anchor Hierarchy

Definition

Use

By creating a business anchor hierarchy, you can display related data in a tile, tile set and business component of a business application.

Structure

To create a hierarchy, the data sources referred by the business anchors must be related. This can be through a:

Relation: The data sources are related in the business object layer. For example, parent-child relation between the customer and order business objects.

Query result: While creating the hierarchy, choose a business query as the parent business anchor and a business collection as the child business anchor.

Supply Function

Example

If a tile set has tiles that display:

Details of a customer.
All orders created for all customers.

You can create business anchor hierarchy to link the customer and order business objects. Now, the Orders tile displays orders created for the customer selected in the Customer tile.
