DEMO_CUSTOM_EXT_FIELDS
The DEMO_CUSTOM_EXT_FIELDS Web Dynpro application displays customer enhancement fields in the implicit administrator personalization (more information: Personalization).
Remember that customer enhancement fields are only available in the administrator mode. To go to the administrator mode, open your application in SE80, and from the menu choose Web Dynpro Application ® Test ® Execute in Administration Mode.
Customer enhancement fields are available for the following UI elements:
● Table
● Container UI elements
When you execute the application in administrator mode, in this example, a table and a group box is displayed in the browser. To edit customer enhancement fields, in the context menu choose Settings for Current Configuration for the relevant header. Note that the cursor must be positioned on the header of the table or of the container UI element. In the next dialog box choose Edit Customer Enhancement Fields. Now you can select whether a field is to be visible, hidden, or generally not available. The default value is Not Available.
Possible settings:
● Visible
The field is made visible so that everyone can see it.
● Hidden
Though the field is created, the administrator hides it immediately so that an end user can later make it visible.
● Not available (default value)
This is as if the field is not available at all.
In the dropdown list next to a field you can select the field type. The following UI elements are generally available for display:
● CheckBox
● DropDownByKey
● Image
● Inputfield
● TextView
● RadiobuttonGroupByKey (not for tables)
● TextEdit (not for tables)
The application determines which field type would make the most sense. This is the entry Automatic.
Once you have made your settings, choose Save and Close.
The system generates the following:
● For a container:
Label and the appropriate field
● For a table:
Table column, column header, and appropriate field as the cell editor
