Application Help

Unlike usual SAP systems, Web application help is not to be provided by a standardized F1 help (popup window with short description and documentation) for all visualized fields of the application. Instead, the individual pages of the application should already be very intuitive and designed in a comprehensible way.

However, there might be the need to make explanations depending on the application. In this case a precise, application-specific help is to be provided. This can, for example, be realized in two steps.

• Fields that are not described sufficiently by a relevant Field Label can be visualized using a concise quick info text in a tooltip. A meaningful application-specific text can be used as a quick info. If you are visualizing an ABAP data object with a dictionary reference then a type-specific quick info can be defined for this data object using method

  GET_QUICKINFO. This text can be used as a standardized quick info for fields with the same underlying semantic.

• If more detailed information is required then this should describe the whole page or the use of the page. For example, an application-specific help text can be realized in the form of a wizard to act as a guide for entire page.

Dictionary Fields: SFLIGHT-CONNID and SFLIGHT-CARRID.

• Service Method GET_QUICKINFO
