Function documentationField Label Analysis

 

You can use this report to determine the layers in which field labels exist, and the field label text available in each layer. You can also get an overview of all fields belonging to one or more UI components, and the origin of different labels.

While the report allows you to display all field labels for one or more UI components, you can determine the origin of a specific field label by pressing F2 at runtime

The field label in the uppermost layer is displayed on the user interface. For more information about the text determination procedure, see General Access Sequence.

Features

  • You can click the field label in the design layer, or click a design object to navigate from the field label to the design layer Customizing. You also find this in Customizing for UI Framework, under Start of the navigation path UI Framework Definition Next navigation step Design Layer End of the navigation path.

  • You can delete field labels in the layers.

    Example Example

    There is a redundant field label in the text repository of the UI configuration. To use the field label from the layer below, that is, from the design layer, you would delete the redundant field label.

    End of the example.

    Before you delete a field label, you have to lock the view by choosing the Edit View pushbutton. This prevents other users from making changes to the view at the same time.

  • You can filter by field label origin to display field labels that you want to work on.

Selection

You can select one or more UI components to check all field labels in these components.

Output

In the hierarchy tree you can see the UI components and their views, like in the UI Component Workbench. For each view, you see the SAP and customer configurations, identified with their four configuration keys (Role Config. Key, Component Usage, Object Type, Object Subtype). For each configuration, the available fields are displayed.

The available columns include the following:

  • Active Field Label

    Current field label that is displayed at runtime, also shown in the UI Configuration Tool

  • Label Origin

    Layer from which the active field label is used

  • Text Rep. (Text Repository), Design Layer, ABAP Dictionary

    The field label that is available in each layer is displayed in the relevant column.

  • DO: Object Type, DO: Design Object, Design Obj. Attribute

    For field labels from the design layer, the object type, the design object, and the design object attribute are displayed.

  • DO: Ref. Dsgn Obj. (Design Object: Reference Design Object)

    Reference design objects are indicated with an X.

  • DO: No. of Affected Views (Design Object: Number of Affected Views)

    Number of views that use the relevant design object. You can open a list of the affected views by clicking this number.
