The View Designer is a Web Dynpro tool that provides graphical support when implementing the user interface layout of a Web Dynpro application. More than thirty standard UI elements are available, all of which can be adapted to suit your requirements by defining the properties appropriately. The UI elements are displayed in What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) mode.

Note

The UI Element Reference Guide contains detailed information about all available user interface elements and their properties.

 

When creating user interfaces, the perspectives Outline and Properties are also of great importance. The UI element properties are defined and maintained in the Properties view. The Outline view displays the user interface elements of a view with their corresponding UI element IDs in a tree structure.
