Some UI elements for standard ALV functions are located in a special area - the Settings dialog box.

The Settings dialog box is displayed above the ALV display by default when the user clicks on Settings in the toolbar.

You have different options for adapting the positioning of this dialog box for your application:

  • You can place the interface view SERVICE in the required position in your application.
