Context-Based Adaptations

A context-based adaptation (CBA) is a Floorplan Manager (FPM) concept that allows you to change the UI in a flexible way based upon values such as application parameters and user input. A CBA consists of an adaptation scheme made up of one or more adaptation dimensions.

The generic MDG Web Dynpro application USMD_OVP_GEN implements an FPM-adaptable overview page (OVP) component (FPM_ADAPTABLE_OVP) so that the provided adaptation scheme, USMD_GEN, can be used to create context-based adaptations of the included OVP component and of its sub-components.

The adaptation scheme includes the following adaptation dimensions:

  • USMD_OTC: Usable for adaptations based on the current business object type code

  • ACTION: Usable for adaptations based on the current logical action, such as Create or Mark for Deletion

  • CRTYPE: Usable for adaptations based on the current change request type

  • WFSTEP: Usable for adaptations based on the current workflow step

Using both the adaptation scheme and its dimensions, you can create adaptations of the UI. Examples of adaptations include a different OVP layout and additional or removed row actions in a list UIBB.
