Adding and Configuring a Dialog for Action ParametersLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

You have created:

  • A BO node with at least one action

  • BOPF actions with an action parameter structure

Context

You can add a dialog window for the action parameters to make your application more interactive. You need a dialog box to execute certain actions, such as entering action inputs and confirming actions. As with navigation-based actions, you need to create an application controller.

Procedure

  1. Add a page with the page type Dialog Box .
  2. Enter an appropriate Page ID (also known as Dialog Window ID in Object Instance Floorplan (OIF)).
  3. Add the relevant GUIBB’s component configurations, which should be part of the dialog such as FORM, LIST, TREE, or SEARCH.
  4. In the application configuration (APPCC), add actParamConfig to the context with the following parameters:

    Attributes of the Element actParamConfig

    Value

    cfgIndex

    Enter an index.

    Business Object

    Name of the BO on which the action is based.

    Node

    Node of the BO on which the action is based.

    Action

    Name of the BO action (dialog action).

    Dialog Box ID

    Name of the dialog window. You need to create a dialog box with the same name in your application component configuration.

    Note

    You can configure multiple actions with dialogs using the above steps.
