Modeling a Popup Window

Prerequisites

You have created Views and windows in the Execution Modeler.

For more information, see Defining the UI Layout .

You need to model a Popup window to enable a View to provide additional information through a secondary window within an application at runtime.

Example

While performing a business transaction, the application user might need to assign a specific buyer to the transaction. In this case, the application user may want to verify the payment history along with other details of the buyer. Consequently, the Popup window for this situation allows the application user to view the buyer's payment history details in a secondary window.

While analyzing the expenses of various business units of an organization, the application user might want to view these expenses in a graphical manner. As in the situation above, the popup window allows the application user to view the expenses details in chart form.

In the Palette, from the Entities section, choose Popup window.
Click on the Execution Modeler to place Popup window. A window with its corresponding View is created and listed under the Windows node of Web Dynpro Explorer.
In the Palette, from the Connection section, choose Link.
Click on the required View and then click on the Popup window to establish a connection.
In the Popup Link window, type a name for the link.
Choose OK. A link between the View and the Popup window is created.
