Introduction

SAP Fiori overview page enables business users perform their daily tasks quickly and effectively by having all the information they need on a single page. Information is visualized on cards for multiple types of content in an attractive and efficient way. The user-friendly experience makes viewing data, filtering data and acting upon it simple, faster, and smarter. It’s fully responsive and features collapsible “columns” of cards that can scale all the way from large screens and desktop down to tablet or phone screen sizes.

SAP Fiori overview page (OVP) was successfully introduced to the market during TechEd events that took place lately in Las-Vegas and Barcelona. Now that SAPUI5 1.32, which contains SAP Fiori OVP first release, is available both to on-premise systems and on HANA Cloud Platform (HCP) it is time to provide more details on the release content.

Release Content

Global Filter

The global filter can be expended/collapsed from the OVP header section by clicking on the global filter icon. By default, when the OVP launches the global filter is collapsed.

Collapsed	Expanded

When a global filter is selected/applied all the cards within the OVP are filtered according to the defined filter.

A user can define filters for his/her own use or can share filters with other users or use filters shared by other users.

Standard Cards

With the first release the following cards are available:

Contextual Navigation

Contextual navigation means that when a navigation operation is triggered from a card, the navigation is performed in the context of the items that was clicked on. For example, when clicking a specific line item on the list card, the launched app will open and display the specific item details.

Tools for Generating SAP Fiori overview page

The easiest way to generate an OVP is to use the SAP Web IDE OVP plugin. This plugin lets the developer to generate an OVP, add cards to the OVP, deploy it to ABAP repository/HCP and register it to the FLP as well as enjoy all the benefits of using the SAP Web IDE.

At the time of publishing this blog, the OVP plugin is available on the HCP trial (developer) landscape. I expect it to be available in the productive landscape shortly.
