A generic design template for organizing additional application-specific views (UIBB) as tabs. It is specifically used for displaying 'master/detail' data.

It is implemented using the Web Dynpro component FPM_TABBED_UIBB.

Unlike most of the generic UIBBs (GUIBBs), the tabbed component has no feeder class.

 

You use this design template in application-specific views (UIBBs). You could use the tabbed component to simultaneously display a selection list of business objects and the additional details of those business objects in tabs without changing the view. You determine the concrete arrangement of the selection list, detail views, and data when configuring the Web Dynpro component FPM_TABBED_UIBB.

Structure

A tabbed component consists of the following areas:

  • The MASTER area

  • The TAB area

The content of the MASTER area and the content of the tabs are determined by separate Web Dynpro components, which you set when configuring the Web Dynpro component FPM_TABBED_UIBB.

Note Note

If you do not set the Web Dynpro component for the master area, only the tabs appear with their application-specific views.

End of the note.

Integration

You configure this component using the FPM configuration editor, FLUID.

You can configure, amongst others, the following properties of this component:

  • The layout of the component

    You can arrange the MASTER and TAB areas next to or on top of one another using the Layout Alignment field. If you arrange the areas side by side, the MASTER area is placed to the left of the TAB area. If you arrange the areas vertically, the MASTER area is placed above the TAB area.

  • The type of tabstrip display

    You can determine, using the Tabstrip Display field whether the tabstrip contains tabs or a dropdown list to display the details in the component.

  • The tabstrip visibility

    You can choose whether to hide the tabstrip if only one tab exists.

For more information on the attributes of this component, choose Field Help from the context menu in the system.

Although the tabbed component is technically a UIBB, you use it for master/details layout purposes. As such, when you edit this component using the FPM configuration editor, you see settings that are usually available only to the floorplan components.

Note that there is also a Composite Component (implemented using FPM_COMPOSITE_UIBB) which is also used purely for layouting purposes.
