Adding Buttons to Toolbars of Roadmap Steps

You can add your own buttons to the toolbar for each step of a roadmap on the user interface of your application configurations.

Each roadmap supports a number of standard button events which you can associate with the button that you add. The following table describes the standard button events available for each roadmap step.

EDIT_FORM	BACK_TO_AUTHOR	BACK_TO_AUTHOR
EDIT_FORM	APPROVE	APPROVE
EDIT_FORM	REJECT	REJECT
EDIT_FORM	WITHDRAW	WITHDRAW
EDIT_FORM	BACK_TO_AGENT	BACK_TO_AGENT

Prerequisites

It is recommended that you do not edit the standard FPM application configurations. Instead, you have copied the standard FPM application configuration that you wish to edit. For more information, see Copying a Standard FPM Application Configuration.

Procedure

To create a button in the toolbar of a roadmap, complete the following steps:

Open transaction SE80 and choose Package PAOC_ASR_WD_PROCESS_EXECUTE.
Double-click your copied application configuration in the following folder: Web Dynpro Web Dynpro Applicat. ASR_PROCESS_EXECUTE_FPM Applic. Configurations .
Choose Start Configurator.
The Editor for the Web Dynpro ABAP Application Configuration opens in a web-browser, displaying the name of your application configuration.
Choose Change.
The Application Configuration window displays the two components of your application configuration (the FPM_GAF_COMPONENT and the FPM_IDR_COMPONENT) on the Structure tab. The FPM_IDR_COMPONENT is the header area of your application configuration.
Select the FPM_GAF_COMPONENT component configuration and choose Go To Component Configuration.
The Component Configuration window appears.
In the centre of the window, choose the roadmap step in whose toolbar you want to add a button.
Choose the Add Toolbar Element button.
The Add Toolbar Element dialog box appears.
Choose the Other Function button (without the dropdown list).
The button is added to the toolbar and its attributes are displayed in the bottom half of the window.
Enter the name of your button in the Label field. In the Element ID and FPM Event ID
fields, enter the values described in the table above. For example, if you want to add a button in the toolbar of the Fill Out Form (Edit Form) roadmap step which allows you to check your form entries before you send it to the next person in the process, choose FPM_NEXT_STEP for the FPM Event ID field and CHECK_AND_SEND for the ELEMENT_ID field.
Choose Save and close the window.

Result

You have edited your copied FPM application configuration and saved the changes.

Ensure that you have made changes in the Portal to point to your edited application configuration. For more information, see Pointing to Application Configurations from the Portal.
