We recommend that you launch the Floorplan Manager configuration editor, FLUID, in Administration Mode to ensure that changes you make are made in the Customizing layer.

All changes to an implicit or explicit configuration of an application in the Customizing layer are without modification.

For more information about how to adjust Web Dynpro for Floorplan Manager, see Fitting Web Dynpro to Your Needs.

Procedure

You can launch FLUID in administration mode from the application user interface at runtime or from the ABAP Workbench.

To do either of these, complete the following steps:

  1. Do one of the following:

    • At runtime

      1. In the application's user interface at runtime, choose one of the following links:

        • Customize Page

          Choose this link to open FLUID at floorplan level in a separate browser window.

        • Show Customizable Areas

          This link displays the customizable areas in your application (the customizable UIBBs); a colored overlay appears over those UIBBs that are customizable. Choose one of the areas to open FLUID at UIBB level.

    • In the ABAP Workbench

      1. Open the ABAP Workbench (transaction SE80) and select the package that contains the application.

      2. On the Web Dynpro Explorer: Display Web Dynpro Configuration screen, navigate through the Web Dynpro folders to the application configuration. Double-click the application configuration.

      3. In the main toolbar, choose   Web Dynpro Configuration   Test   Execute in Administrator Mode  .

        The application is launched in a separate browser window.

  2. If no customizing exists for the component configuration, the system displays the Create Customizing dialog box. Provide the required details to create a customizing data record.

    If a customizing already exists for the component configuration, the system automatically opens the customized configuration.

  3. The system launches FLUID in administration mode.

    FLUID displays a colored bar above the title bar of the application to indicate that you are now working in the Customizing layer.

  4. Choose the Edit button.

    You are now ready to make changes to the component configuration.

Note Note

If, at runtime, you do not see the link texts Customize Page and Show Customizable Areas in an application, the application is not running in Administrator mode. The link texts Configure Page and Show Configurable Areas indicate that the application is running in Expert (Developer) mode.

End of the note.
