List Component Editor for Floorplan ManagerLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You use the list editor to adjust a list within an application to you specific business requirements. This is done by configuring list components (see list components ).

Features

The list editor consists of the following work areas:

  • Preview

    In the preview, the system displays the list in the current configuration to give you a picture of the layout of the list.

  • Hierarchy

    The system displays all list elements (columns, toolbar, and parameters) in the hierarchy as a tree structure.

  • Attribute view

    Attributes of the currently selected list element that can be changed using the list editor are displayed in the attribute view.

  • Action area

    The action area contains links to all the actions you can execute for the list component. Which actions can be selected depends on the concrete configuration of the list. This means that the selection of actions can differ within a configuration.

The list editor provides you with the following actions:

  • Edit Feeder Class

  • Edit Parameters

  • Configure Column

  • Configure Toolbar

The form editor provides you with the following functions for editing a column:

  • Add Column

    You can select a field from the field catalog and determine the column header and display type.

  • Delete Column

  • Enter Column Width

In the list settings (SETTINGS), you can determine whether the system displays the list in the SAP List Viewer (ALV) or in the FPM layout. If you decide to have the list displayed in the SAP List Viewer, the system displays the list at runtime according to the valid SAP List Viewer Layout.

You can also determine whether it is possible for a user to export the list to a spreadsheet at runtime. The Export to Excel checkbox is available for this purpose.

Note

This function is also available in the SAP List Viewer.

Recommendation

We recommend you use the FPM export functions and not the SAP List Viewer if you only want to use the export to Excel for a list.

In the attributes of the LIST hierarchy node, you can also specify which drag-and-drop functions the user can perform for the list or table (see Drag and Drop ).

You can launch the list editor in change or display mode and save your changes at any time.

Note

The component-defined processing view is pre-set. Make sure that this view is selected before configuring a list component.

The list editor launches from the configuration editor for Floor Plan Manager automatically when you launch the configuration of an application-specific view (UIBB) that uses the FPM_LIST_UIBB Web Dynpro component (see Configuration Editor for Floor Plan Manager ).
