Procedure documentationAdding an Existing UIBB to an Application Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You can add additional, application-specific views (UIBBs) to a Floorplan Manager application at any time.

You add existing UIBBs (freestyle or GUIBB) to the floorplan component configurations of your application.

This is a simple, generic procedure for adding existing UIBBs to an application; there are other examples specific to individual GUIBBs.

Prerequisites

The UIBB you want to add to your application has already been created.

If you are adding a generic UIBB (GUIBB) such as a list or form component, you must assign a feeder class to the GUIBB beforehand.

Procedure

  1. Run the application and choose the Customize Page icon in the toolbar.

  2. Create a new Customizing for the component if none exists and select the relevant transport request.

    FLUID is opened and displays the application in design mode.

  3. Choose the Navigation button in the main toolbar to display the Navigation panel and choose the page in which the UIBB will be inserted.

  4. Choose the <Floorplan Component> Schema panel (for example, Guided Activity Schema, Overview Page Schema, or Object Instance Schema); this is the panel in which you insert your UIBBs.

  5. Select an appropriate row in the table and choose Add UIBB in the toolbar of the object schema panel.

  6. In the dropdown list of the Add UIBB button, choose the type of UIBB that you want to add to your floorplan.

    The UIBB is inserted in the row that you selected. If you chose a generic UIBB (GUIBB) from the list (for example, Form Component), the system automatically completes the fields Component (Name) and Window Name. You need only to enter the name of your configuration. If you chose a freestyle UIBB, you must enter details for all three fields, Component (Name), Window Name and Configuration Name.

  7. Choose Save.

To see your changes at runtime, choose Test under the Additional Functions button on the toolbar.

Note Note

You can only edit your UIBB further, using FLUID, if you have entered a configuration name for the UIBB.

End of the note.

Note Note

There are other methods for inserting a UIBB into the floorplan component configuration of your application. Choose the Repositories panel to search for an existing UIBB, and drag it to either the Preview panel or the <Floorplan Component> Schema panel.

End of the note.
