Component

Definition

Functions that can be arranged on a user interface for processing business transactions, or that are executed automatically by the system in the background.

Use

You want to process a business transaction from a specific user interface.

You want to identify a customer who calls your company’s call center in the Business Partner Search , display their bank details, contacts, campaigns, orders, and complaints in the navigation area , and enter an ad or subscription order, end the call, enter data on the contact, end the contact and accept a new contact from the queue in the Application Area .

Structure

A component has a component or configuration profile that describes the specification of the component.

The components are subdivided into visible and invisible components:

  • A visible component is displayed as a subscreen in a screen area (slot) in the framework.

  • An invisible component contains a background function that does not require its own screen area (slot).

Integration

The components are assigned to a framework and interact with each other.
