Data Binding Type CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTION

Data Provider (DATA_PROVIDER_REF)

You use this parameter to assign a data provider to the Web item. The Web item obtains the data and metadata that it needs to generate the output and commands from this data provider.

We recommend that you keep to the conventions supported by the Web Application Designer when specifying names: Names can be a maximum of 30 characters and consist of characters A-Z, 0-9 and _, but cannot start or end with _. Adhering to these conventions simplifies the upgrade to subsequent SAP releases.

Characteristic (CHARACTERISTIC)

You use this parameter to select the characteristic according to its technical name.

Label Visible (LABEL_VISIBLE)

You use this parameter to specify whether the long text of the characteristic is to be written as a label beside the dropdown box.

Display ALL Entry (ALL_VALUES_ENTRY_INCLUDED)

You use this parameter to specify whether the All entry is to be displayed as a selection option in the dropdown box.

Affected Data Providers (LINKED_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST)

You use this parameter to create a list of data providers to which all commands are sent.

For each entry in the data provider list, you select a data provider in the Affected Data Provider parameter (LINKED_DATA_PROVIDER_REF).

Note that you cannot create data providers in the parameter dialog box - you have to create them beforehand.

Additional Action (ACTION_WITH_DEFAULT)

You use this parameter to specify the standard behavior of the Web item. In this way, in addition to setting a filter value (characteristic value or structure element), you can execute an additional command by changing an entry in the dropdown box. You first specify the type of additional action. You can include the following additional actions as follows:

• Command Via Command Wizard

  (INSTRUCTION_WITH_DEFAULT)

  If you choose this option, you can include an additional action using the command wizard. For more information, see the detailed table.

• Script Function

  (SCRIPT_FUNCTION)

  If you choose this option, you can include an additional script function. For more information, see the detailed table.

Depending on the additional action you choose to include, you need to set additional parameters. For more information, see the following table.

Execution Point in Time (EXECUTION_TIME)

You use this parameter to specify the time of the execution for the command:

• Before Default Action (BEFORE)

  If you choose this option, the additional command is executed before filtering.

• After Default Action (AFTER)

  If you choose this option, the additional command is executed after filtering.

• Instead of Default Action (INSTEAD)

  If you choose this option, the additional command is executed instead of filtering.

Command (INSTRUCTION)

Using the pushbutton to the right of Command (INSTRUCTION), you call the command wizard to include an additional command (see Commands ).

Script Function (SCRIPT_FUNCTION)

You can enter an additional script function to be executed.

You generate the script function using the Script Web item that you previously added and set in the Web template.
