Definition

The Radio Button Group Web item puts characteristic values to be filtered into a group of selection buttons.

Use

Using the Radio Button Group Web item, you can easily filter one or more connected data providers by a characteristic value. When you select a value, the connected data provider is filtered according to this value. If you select a filter value for the characteristic of the radio button group in another way, the current filter value is selected.

Data Binding

Parameter Description

Data Provider (DATA_PROVIDER_REF)

You use this parameter to assign a data provider to the Web item. The Web item gets 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.

Affected Data Provider

(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.

Characteristic (CHARACTERISTIC)

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