Procedure documentationEditing UIBB Components in an Application Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

Floorplan Manager (FPM) applications contain a floorplan component configuration and one or more UI building block (UIBB) component configurations. You use FPM's FLUID (Flexible User Interface Designer) to make changes to both the floorplan and UIBB component configurations.

Procedure

This procedure is a generic procedure for accessing and editing UIBB components in an application configuration. To do this, proceed as follows:

  1. Run the application you want to edit and choose the Show Customizable Areas icon on the main toolbar.

    This displays all the customizable UIBBs within the floorplan of your application; they are highlighted in blue.

  2. Choose one of the customizable UIBBs.

    A separate browser window opens.

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

    The FPM configuration editor, FLUID, is displayed in edit mode.

  4. Choose the Attributes and Repositories buttons on the toolbar to display the corresponding panels.

    You can now make the following changes, amongst others, using the panels below:

    • <GUIBB Component> UIBB Schema

      • Select a row containing an individual element of the UIBB and edit its attributes in the Attributes panel. For example, you can rename a column header of an individual column in a list component or choose the display type of a column.

      • Add additional, UIBB-specific elements to the UIBB by choosing buttons on the toolbar or by dragging existing ones from the Repositories panel.

    • Toolbar Schema

      Add further elements to the floorplan toolbar(s) or rearrange existing toolbar elements. You can edit the Visibility attribute to decide whether a toolbar element is visible or not.

    • Menu Schema

      Edit or create new action menus and context menus. Note that this panel is not available for all GUIBBs.

    • General Settings

      Make changes to the GUIBB component as a whole. For example, for a list component there are settings to determine the appearance of the complete list; you can determine the number of rows and columns to display, how many fixed columns there are, the total width of the list, and whether you can export the list to a spreadsheet.

    Note that not all panels are available for all UIBB components.

  5. Save your changes.
