Generic User Interface Building Block (GUIBB)

You can use Floorplan Manager to compile application-specific views (UIBBs) from one or more applications that were realized as Web Dynpro components into new Floorplan Manager applications (see Structure of a Floorplan Manager Application ). These views generally include the majority of actual applications. Since the views were previously created using the Web Dynpro ABAP foundation, there generally was a high level of variance in the display and navigational behavior of the views. These views cannot be configured in Floorplan Manager.

By introducing generic user interface building blocks, Floorplan Manager has made it possible to improve the uniformity of user-specific views. Generic user interface building blocks are design template for which the application, at design time, defines the data to be displayed along with a configuration. The concrete display of the data on the user interface is not determined and generated by the GUIBB until runtime. This is done automatically using the configuration provided.

Floorplan Manager provides the following generic user interface building blocks:

• Form Component (Web Dynpro component: FPM_FORM_UIBB)

• List Component (Web Dynpro component: FPM_LIST_UIBB)

• Tabbed Component (Web Dynpro component: FPM_TABBED_UIBB)

• Search Component (Web Dynpro component: FPM_SEARCH_UIBB)

• Launchpad Component (Web Dynpro component: FPM_LAUNCHPAD_UIBB)

• Confirmation Screen of a Guided Activity (Web Dynpro component GUIBB_CONFIGURABLE_CONF).

• Hierarchical List Component (Web Dynpro component: FPM_TREE_UIBB)
