Complex layout using OVP

[alejiandro_sensejl]

Hello!

I've started with FPM today and I'm trying to build a OVP FPM application with the following layout:

+-------------------------------------------------------------+

| Header area                                                 |

+-----+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+

|     |             |             |             |             |

|  N  | Component 1 |             |             |             |

|  a  |             | Component 5 |             |             |

|  v  +-------------+             | Component 7 | Component 7 |

|  i  |             |             |             |             |

|  g  | Component 2 +-------------+             |             |

|  a  |             |             |             |             |

|  t  +-------------+             |  Config A   |  Config B   |

|  i  |             | Component 6 |             |             |

|  o  | Component 3 |             |             |             |

|  n  |             |             |             |             |

+-----+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+

As far as I know I can only display one page at the same time with sections containing up to three columns - So is this even possible using the FPM framework? If so, how?

The orange area should be replaceable according the the current selection in the navigation.

Can I use standard functionality to build the navigation or do I have to create an own WD component for this?

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

Alej

This kind of layout design is not possible to create using OVP FPM, you can designs oem thing like this in FPM OVP. just to give you an idea.

I didnt understand your question  "Can I use standard functionality to build the navigation or do I have to create an own WD component for this?" --> let me know in more detail to help you out.

Hi Phani,

thanks for your quick reply!

Any other ideas to build such a layout within the FPM framework?

In the left area of my application I want to use a ContextualPanel containing a ViewSwitch and/or a NavigationList. Are there some standard FPM components I can use for that (e.g. like adding steps to the roadmap of a GAF component) or do I have to create a freestyle UIBB?

Best regards,

Alej

Hi,

Is there any specific requirement that this has to be done only in FPM.

Or else you can try to do it in Webdynpro direclty.

Hi Phani,

we'd like to utilize the personalization features and the drag and drop functionality of the layout (--> panels).

Best regards,

Alej

It`s not 100% what you want, but you can use tabbed_window with leading areas (I don`t know the english word).

Each leading area can be used like an additional column.

There two disadvantages

1.) you can only drag and drop the complete tabbed_window.

2.) you can define only one detail page for the complete tabbed_window.

Cheers

Regarding the Navigation area on the left side of the page:

If we you are talking of the FPM in NW 7.31 there is the possibility to configure a so-called "Page Master". This is a kind of navigation pane in which you can place a List GUIBB or a Tree GUIBB. The Page Master is not available before NW 7.31.

Regarding the complex Page Layout.

The OVP itself can currently only have sections with three columns at most. However, you can put "layout" UIBBs such as the Tabbed UIBB or the Composite UIBB into a section column. These UIBBs serve as a kind of container for several other UIBBs and enable in this way complicated screen layouts. Drag&drop is not possible for the UIBBs inside of such a layout UIBB but only for the layout UIBB as a whole. Please note that the Composite UIBB is not available before NW 7.31.
