6.7.1 Identification of UI Elements with SAP GUI Property Collector
You can use SAP GUI Property Collector to identify the UI elements in an SAP GUI transaction (a dynpro screen) and their properties that are to be extracted and passed to the side panel. SAP GUI Property Collector helps you to determine the field IDs that you need to extract the data. Properties are the basis for defining tags. You need to collect the properties that are to be exposed from an SAP GUI transaction and then used in the side panel before you can define tags.
For more information, see 6.7.2 Creating Tags in the Tag Table .
In the Property Viewer, you can get an overview of the current screen and of all supported properties of a UI element. When you select a different property, it is automatically selected in the main dialog of SAP GUI Property Collector and you can directly add it to the collection. In the Property Viewer, you find the extended properties, that is, properties that are implemented in NWBC and not in SAP GUI scripting.
IsOnScreen
Every UI element has this property. The value is X when the field is currently visible on screen; the value is blank when the field is not on the screen.
