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 ).
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.
This function is also available in the SAP List Viewer.
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.
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 ).
