Inserting a Data Node Using the Context Menu

...

       1.      Select an existing node in the context, under which you want to create a data node.

       2.      In the context menu of the node, choose Create ® Data.

To display the context menu of the node, click the secondary mouse button.

       3.      In the Create Data dialog box, enter a field name.

Use the F4 help to display a list of all data fields used in the interface.

       4.      Choose Continue.

The system creates a data node under the selected node.

Editing Properties and Conditions

·        In the window under the context, the system displays the properties of the inserted data node.

¡        For data nodes that reference the ABAP Dictionary, the system takes the related short text from the ABAP Dictionary. You cannot change this. However, you can select the Field Label. The text chosen here is used in Adobe LiveCycle Designer to display the label of the data field in the layout.

¡        The full field name of the node is displayed under Data.

¡        Under Status, you can set the data node as active or inactive.

·        Under Conditions, enter the prerequisites that need to be met before the data node is processed at runtime and displayed in the form.

Result

You have created a complete data node. In the layout in the Form Builder, you can insert this node in the form.
