What it does

layout-management renders an internal table or a structure as a table or a simple form with a settings button. In the layout popup the user picks the visible columns or fields, their order, labels and sorting, and saves the result as a layout variant in the tables z2ui5_t_11 and z2ui5_t_12; the default variant is loaded automatically at the next start. A generic mode personalizes the controls of any view built with the view builder. Use it when you want ALV-like layouts in abap2UI5 apps without building them; other addons such as popups build on it.

  • Generic table and simple form rendering from your data via RTTI
  • Layout popup: visible columns or fields, order, labels and sorting
  • Generic mode: hide, reorder and relabel the controls of any view by id
  • Layout variants persisted in z2ui5_t_11 and z2ui5_t_12 per app (handle01 to handle04)
  • Default layout loaded automatically at startup
  • Authorization hook z2ui5_if_layo_auth for shared layouts and deletions

Requirements

  • abap2UI5
  • ABAP Cloud (S/4 Public Cloud, BTP ABAP Environment), S/4 Private Cloud or On-Premise, or NetWeaver 7.50 or higher
  • NetWeaver 7.02 - 7.40 with the downported branch 702

Usage

" in check_on_init( ) - once
mo_layout = z2ui5_cl_layo_manager=>factory_generic( handle01 = `ZCL_MY_APP`
                                                    handle02 = `MAIN_VIEW` ).
mo_layout->register( id = `inpName` label = `Name` ).
mo_layout->register( id = `btnSave` label = `Save` ).
mo_layout->register( id = `lstNotes` label = `Notes` label_attr = `headerText` ).

" in the view - the settings button, then the layout applied to the XML
z2ui5_cl_layo_pop=>render_layout_function( xml    = header
                                           client = client
                                           layout = mo_layout ).
...
client->view_display( z2ui5_cl_layo_xml_builder=>xml_apply_layout( i_xml    = view->stringify( )
                                                                     i_layout = mo_layout ) ).
