Want to change the UI of apps in the SAP Fiori launchpad to fit the business needs of your company? Want to do this intuitively at runtime of your apps and without having to create new code? With Runtime Adaptation you can! For example:
- Clean up the UI by removing any fields you don’t need
- Support special business cases by adding new fields; you can even create your own new fields using the OData service.
- Improve usability and reflect your company’s terminology by renaming UI elements such as fields or group titles
- Optimize the overview of information and speed up workflow by changing the layout of UI elements such as fields
Figure: Using drag and drop makes it easy to adapt the UI with Runtime Adaptation.
What's in It for You as a Key User?
As a key user in your company you're certainly a business expert, but you don't necessarily have technical or programming skills (unlike admins or IT experts). On top of your standard business duties, you're also responsible for specific tasks, such as adapting apps to changed business processes and releasing them to your team or even the whole company. That's where Runtime Adaptation comes into play. To change the UI of your apps, you don't need any programming skills or technical expertise. Just switch to adaptation mode and use drag and drop and intuitive context menus. For more information, see the key user documentation.
Want to Try It Out?
Practice with our demo app! You can experiment with the Runtime Adaptation features without worrying about breaking anything important. Just open the SAPUI5 Demo Kit in Google Chrome and choose the Runtime Adaptation tile.
How Do I Enable Runtime Adaptation as a Developer?
To enable apps for Runtime Adaptation, you use SmartForm controls. Only these controls can be edited in Runtime Adaptation and they must have stable IDs. Runtime Adaptation uses stable IDs to ensure that the changes made by the key user are preserved and can be applied again, for example after the app is upgraded. Stable IDs are based on SAPUI5 static IDs and, to prevent inconsistencies or errors, must not be changed. For more information, see the developer documentation.
