The Unified Framework Page supplied with SAP NetWeaver Portal provides support for applications written in standards mode only.

Standards mode is compliant with CSS2 specifications, in contrast to quirks mode, which supports only parts of the CSS specifications.

The Unified Framework Page is based on the SAPUI5 framework, which is used to build HTML5-based applications.

Note Note

We recommend using the Unified Framework Page with Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 or above, or with other browsers that support standards mode.

End of the note.

The Unified Framework Page has a single level of options in the top-level navigation area. Additional navigation levels are available in the detailed navigation area. To the left of the content area, there is a vertical bar with a search icon that opens a search tool, in which you can select a search provider and enter search text. To the right of the content area, there is a vertical menu with the following options: History, Launcher. Selecting each of these options acts as a toggle that opens or closes a vertical pane. In this pane:

  • History: Provides a list of recently-visited, launchable navigation nodes, as well as Back and Forward buttons.

  • Launcher: Enables you to search for a navigation node to launch directly in the content area.

In the Framework Page Configuration editor (  Content Administration   Portal Display  ), you can configure the framework page, including the tools to display and the title of the page. To change the default SAP logo of the framework page, you need to replace the logo file in the Web Resource Repository:   Web Resources   Resources Provided by SAP   Unified Framework Page   Framework Icons   logo.png  .
