Extension Points

To facilitate extension of applications on the UI Layer, SAP delivers extension points. These constitute anchor points for extensions. For more information about how to extend a view using extension points, see SAP Library for User Interface Add-On 1.0 at Start of the navigation path https://help.sap.com/nw-uiaddon Next navigation step SAPUI5 Developer Guide Extending SAPUI5 Applications View Extension End of the navigation path .

To activate an extension point, you insert the SAPUI5 control < core:ExtensionPoint / > into an SAP-shipped HTML5 application based on an XML-type view. For more information about XML-type views, see https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/sdk/#docs/guide/91f292806f4d1014b6dd926db0e91070.htm.

Extension points are documented and kept stable. This means that any extensions plugging in are more robust across application updates.

Replacing the Standard View

If the extension points provided for view extension are not sufficient to meet the requirements of the custom application, you can replace the standard view with a custom view.
