SAP Docking ContainerLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

Use the SAP Docking Container to attach one or more areas to a screen. You can attach an area to any or all of the four edges of the screen (top, bottom, left, or right). The screen is made smaller to accommodate the docking container. You can detach the docking container from the screen (floating) and reattach it.

The behavior of the areas in the container is determined by the sequence in which they are initialized. Docking Containers are attached to the screen from the inside out. This means that when you create a second container, it is attached to the edge of the screen, and the container that was already there is pushed outwards. From a purely technical point of view, you can attach any number of docking containers to a screen. However, remember that using too many can make your application confusing for the user.
