Explanation UI Element

You can use the UI element Explanation on your views for explanatory texts. The UI element Explanation contains a text that appears on the screen permanently and should contain explanations about the screen or parts of the screen.

In the View Designer you can create the text for an explanation of the text property. The text can either be entered manually (a maximum of 255 characters) or it can be an OTR alias text, for which you use the notation $OTR:Aliasname .

You can use OTR texts or SAPScript texts in an Explanation. The text and textDocumentName properties are provided for this.

The text of an explanation is highlighted differently to other UI texts when the design emphasized is selected, since in addition to the text being underlined in blue, the switch Hide Quick Help is also displayed.

From the context menu you can activate and deactivate the display of Explanation s in your application ( Show Quick Help and Hide Quick Help ). As part of the personalization framework you can hide and show individual fields using the user settings in the context menu.

The option for More Field Help in the context menu is used to display technical information as well as the full data element documentation, if the field on which it was called, is linked to the ABAP. If it is not, only the technical information is displayed. See also Classic F1 Help .
