The Configure Element task panel is used to configure the properties of each model element on the Design board. In addition to defining the various element properties, you also use this task panel to define and configure the fields and controls within the UI components.

 

You can display the Configure Element task panel in one of three ways:

  • Click the Configure button in the task-panel toolbar.

  • Right-click the element and choose Configure Element from the context menu.

  • On the Design board, double-click on the element.

The set of properties for each type of element differs, and many include tables at the bottom of the task panel for mapping fields between elements.

For more information, see Configure Elements in the SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer Modeler's Guide.
