Function documentationRapid Applications

 

You can use rapid applications to create new applications based on database tables or a Web service. You can use rapid applications as a standalone variant or embed them in an additional assignment block within existing applications in SAP Customer Relationship Management.

Example Example

You have created a database table that contains the available DSL speeds for each telephone subscriber. With a rapid application, for example, you could display the DSL speed in a new assignment block on the overview page of the CRM account.

End of the example.

Note Note

If you already have an existing genIL component, you can generate a UI application using the wizard. For more information, see Generation of UI from a BOL Model.
