Navigation to Object Page

Navigation from the list report view to the object page in the same app is enabled by default in the smart template. If desired, you can disable this navigation, or replace it with navigation to another app (external navigation).

Disable Navigation

Using the manifest.json file, you can control whether navigation to a detail page is possible by keeping the predefined definition of a subpage. If you wish to disable navigation, follow the instructions in the example below to remove the appropriate code.

Example with Navigation

"sap.ui.generic.app": {
			"pages":[{
				"entitySet": "Zfarvd_Bs_Hd_Bo",
				"component": {
					"name": "sap.suite.ui.generic.template.ListReport",
					"list": true,
					"settings": {
						"gridTable": false, 
						"hideTableVariantManagement": false
					}
				},
//Navigation to detail page: eliminate this block if no navigation is needed
				"pages": [{
					"entitySet": "Zfarvd_Bs_Hd_Bo",
					"component": {
						"name": "sap.suite.ui.generic.template.ObjectPage"
					},

Enable External Navigation

You can define an external navigation target using intent-based navigation in the manifest.json file by modifying the navigation > display entry. This allows you to overwrite existing internal navigation with external navigation, for example from a line item in the list report to an object page in a different app, or from an object page to a subpage in another app. The navigation can only be set up from a line in a responsive table, or from the Show Details link in a grid table.

In the example below, the standard navigation from the list report to the object page has been replaced with navigation to an object page in another app.

    "sap.app": {
        "_version": "1.2.0",
        ...
        "crossNavigation": {
            "inbounds": {},
            "outbounds": {
                "EPMProductManageSt":
                {
                    "semanticObject": "EPMProduct",
                    "action": "manage_st"
                }
            }
        }
    ...
...
    "sap.ui.generic.app": {
        "_version": "1.2.0",
        "pages": [{
            "entitySet": "STTA_C_MP_Product",
            "component": {
                "name": "sap.suite.ui.generic.template.ListReport",
                "list": true,
                "settings": {
                    "gridTable": true
                }
            },
            "pages": [{
                "entitySet": "STTA_C_MP_Product",
                "component": {
                    "name": "sap.suite.ui.generic.template.ObjectPage",
                    "settings": {
                        "gridTable": true
                    }
                },
// Navigation to an external target instead of a detail page: Add this block to set up external navigation.
                "navigation": {
                    "display": {
                        "path": "sap.apps.crossNavigation.outbounds",
                        "target": "ExampleNavigationTarget"

Note

The example above applies to sap.ui.generic.app->_version 1.2.0.
The path and target you specify for external navigation must point to an existing outbounds entry.

For more information about the crossNavigation attribute in the sap.app namespace, see Descriptor for Applications, Components, and Libraries. In Table 2: Attributes in the sap.app namespace, go to attribute crossNavigation and see the description for outbounds.
