Procedure documentationEnhancing Web Dynpro Applications with a Side Panel Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

The side panel is a docking window added to the right-hand side of the main Web Dynpro application. It enables you to provide additional functions (implemented as CHIPs) for this main application — for example, graphically-rich, or third party CHIPs.

A side panel contains one or more containers arranged in an accordion. Each container in turn can contain one or more CHIPs. The CHIPs in a container are always displayed in one column in the side panel.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

The user can open the side panel using the link Additional Information in the page header of the Web Dynpro application. The user also has the option of locking the wiring between the Web Dynpro application and the side panel.
