Each page of a BSP application should always be intuitive and easy to understand. However, there might be the need to make explanations depending on the application. In this case a precise, application-specific help is to be provided. This can, for example, be realized in two steps.

  • Fields that are not described sufficiently by a relevant Field Label can be visualized using a concise quick info text in a tooltip. A meaningful application-specific text can be used as a quick info. If you are visualizing an ABAP data object with a dictionary reference, then a type-specific quick info can be defined for this data object using method GET_QUICKINFO. This text can be used as a standardized quick info for fields with the same underlying semantic.

  • If more detailed information is required then this should describe the whole page or the use of the page. For example, an application-specific help text can be realized in the form of a wizard to act as a guide for entire page.
