Definition

A generic design template for displaying data in a form that is implemented using the Web Dynpro component FPM_FORM_UIBB.

Use

You use this design template in application-specific views (UIBB) where you want to display data using a form. You can determine the concrete display of the data in a form when configuring the Web Dynpro component FPM_FORM_UIBB.

Structure

A FORM is comprised of various subobjects:

  • ELEMENT

    Elements are a combination of an ID and a field. You can configure the display type of the field as well as the ID.

  • MELTINGGROUP

    A melting group is a group of multiple fields.

  • TOOLBAR

    Contains buttons with actions assigned to them that are executed in the form.

  • GROUP

    A group consists of elements, melting groups, and toolbars. You can enter a separate name and group type for each group. The following group types are possible:

    • Fullscreen width with one column

    • Fullscreen width with two columns

    • Half screen width with one column

      Note

      The system can only display one element or melting group per line in a column.

Note

The information that the syste can display in a form is determined by the feeder class assigned to the configuration of the Web Dynpro component FPM_FORM_UIBB (see feeder class ).

Note

If the system generates a form within an error message at runtime, all affected fields are shown with a colored outline. Users can identify these fields quickly and easily.

Integration

You can configure a form component using the form editor for Floor Plan Manager (see Form Component Editor for Floor Plan Manager ).
