UI.Reference Facet

If you add a UI.ReferenceFacet that points to UI.DataPoint, the title and value of the UI.DataPoint will be rendered.

<Annotation Term="UI.HeaderFacets">
    <Collection>
        <Record Type="UI.ReferenceFacet">
            <PropertyValue Property="Label" String="{@i18n>@TechnicalData}"/>
            <PropertyValue AnnotationPath="@UI.FieldGroup#TechnicalData" Property="Target"/>
        </Record>
        <Record Type="UI.ReferenceFacet">
            <PropertyValue AnnotationPath="@UI.DataPoint#Price" Property="Target"/>
        </Record>
        <Record Type="UI.ReferenceFacet">
            <PropertyValue AnnotationPath="@UI.DataPoint#ProductCategory" Property="Target"/>
        </Record>
        <Record Type="UI.ReferenceFacet">
            <PropertyValue Property="Label" String="Employee"/>
            <PropertyValue AnnotationPath="to_Supplier/@Communication.Contact" Property="Target"/>
        </Record>
</Annotation>

UI.DataPoint

Each UI.DataPoint annotation term must point to a qualifier, as shown below:

<Annotation Term="UI.DataPoint" Qualifier="Price">
	<Record>
		<PropertyValue Property="Value" Path="Price"/>
		<PropertyValue Property="Title" String="Price"/>
	</Record>
</Annotation>
<Annotation Term="UI.DataPoint" Qualifier="ProductCategory">
	<Record>
		<PropertyValue Property="Value" Path="ProductCategory"/>
		<PropertyValue Property="Title" String="Category"/>
	</Record>
</Annotation>
