Parameter

Description

Width in Pixels (WIDTH)

Full Width (FULL_WIDTH)

You use this parameter to specify that the value in the Width in Pixels (WIDTH) parameter is to be ignored and that the width is to be set to 100% instead. The full width depends on the width of the environment in which the Web item is embedded (for example, the width of a tab page on a portal page or in an iView).

Height in Pixels (HEIGHT)

You use this parameter to specify the height of the Web item.

Full Height (FULL_HEIGHT)

You use this parameter to specify that the value in the Height in Pixels (HEIGHT) parameter is to be ignored and that the height is to be set to 100% instead. The full height depends on the height of the environment in which the Web item is embedded (for example, the height of a tab page on a portal page or iView).

Visibility (VISIBILITY)

You use this parameter to specify whether the Web item is to be visible in the Web application.

Automatic Apply

(AUTOMATIC_APPLY)

You use this parameter to specify whether the system is to make changes to the data provider (selection of filter values) automatically.

The automatic change is predefined; for every change made to a characteristic, the Web application is updated. If you deactivate this parameter, you can manually change characteristics before or without immediately updating the Web application. In this case, the Web application contains the Apply icon.

This parameter is not currently supported.

Parameter

Description

Data Provider (DATA_PROVIDER_REF)

You use this parameter to assign a data provider to the Web item. The Web item obtains the data and metadata that it needs to generate the output and commands from this data provider.

We recommend that you keep to the conventions supported by the Web Application Designer when specifying names: Names can be a maximum of 30 characters and consist of characters A-Z, 0-9 and _, but cannot start or end with _. Adhering to these conventions simplifies the upgrade to subsequent SAP releases.

Affected Data Providers (LINKED_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST)

You use this parameter to create a list of data providers to which all commands are sent.

For each entry in the data provider list, you select a data provider in the Affected Data Providers parameter (LINKED_DATA_PROVIDER_REF).

Note that you cannot create data providers in the parameter dialog box - you have to create them beforehand.

You use this parameter to specify which characteristics are to be initially displayed in the filter pane.
