Parameter

Description

Width in pixels (WIDTH)

You use this parameter to determine the width of the Web item.

Height in pixels (HEIGHT)

You use this parameter to determine the height of the Web item.

Visibility (VISIBILITY)

You use this parameter to determine whether the Web item is visible in the Web application.

With tray (WITH_TRAY)

You use this parameter to determine whether the Web item has a symbol that enables the Web item to be expanded and collapsed in the Web application. For more information on this parameter, see Parameter Tray.

Parameter

Description

Label (LABEL_VISIBLE)

You use this parameter to determine whether  the long text of the characteristic is written as a label in front of the checkbox group.

Maximum text length (TEXT_MAXLENGTH)

You use this parameter to determine the maximum text length for the characteristic values.

Maximum number of displayed values (ENTRIES_MAXCOUNT)

You use this parameter to determine the maximum number of values that are displayed in the checkbox group.

Number of columns (COLUMNS)

You use this parameter to determine the number of entries displayed adjacent to one other.

Parameter

Description

Activate navigation (INTERACTION_ALLOWED)

You use this parameter to determine whether navigation and other interaction is possible, like in the Web application. 

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: The name should be a maximum of 30 characters long and consist of characters “A-Z”, “0-9” and “_” but cannot start or end with “_”. Adhering to these conventions facilitates the upgrade to future 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, choose a data provider under the affected data provider parameter (LINKED_DATA_PROVIDER_REF).

Note that you cannot create data providers in the parameter dialog itself. You have to create them beforehand.

Characteristic (CHARACTERISTIC)

You use this parameter to select the characteristic by technical name.

Read mode (DATA_READ_MODE)

You use this parameter to determine which values are to be transferred from the master data table to the Checkbox Group as filter values.

·        (M): All values from the master data table

In some circumstances values that do not appear in the data provider under the current filter conditions and that, upon filtering, produce the result “No Suitable Data Found” are also displayed. However, under certain conditions this process is the fastest.

(D): Values that are basically posted, whereby the current drilldown status is not fully taken into consideration.

(Q): Only values that are also posted in the data provider under the currently valid filter conditions are displayed. In certain circumstances this can take a long time.

Read mode for Web items to set filter values:

The “master data” read mode may lead to many unposted values being displayed; the “posted values” read mode may be slow.
