You'll find the more recent blogs at the top of the table.
| Blogger | Topic | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| @Christian Guenther | Using FPM Applications on an iPad | WebDynpro and FPM are designed for the creation of desktop applications. Nevertheless it was always technically possible to run FPM based applications on a tablet or even on a smartphone. But as there are a lot of limitations this wasn't supported by SAP. This has changed now. |
| @Simon Hoeg | Navigate from Message Area into Collapsed Panels or Tabs | End users usually prefer to have a reference of an error message to the corresponding input field. In addition they want to navigate into the field when clicking on the message, no matter if the corresponding panel or tab is currently collapsed or closed. |
| @Simon Hoeg | Asynchronous Loading of GUIBBs | Every time you deal with GUIBBs that load large amount of data, then asynchronous approaches may help to let the screen be still responsive and more user friendly. Since this topic is frequently discussed in the forum, I decided to describe a possible solution based on the FPM Asynchronous Events and Web Dynpro Notification Service, which was delivered with SAP NetWeaver 731 SP7. |
| @Simon Hoeg | New Chart Features for NW 7.50 | Alternative list rendering, advanced personalization and exporting as a PNG file. |
| @Simon Hoeg | A New Message Area | A more modern look and feel to the message area. |
| @Dirk Becker | SAP Screen Personas for Web Dynpro ABAP | Personas is widely known as a powerful tool for reducing complexity and increasing efficiency for end users working on SAP GUI screens. Personas is now available for WDA and FPM. (This blog was posted previously on the SAP GUI space). |
| @Celeste Hoefkens | FPM and WDA - A Change of Image | An intro to the 'Fiorification' of FPM and WDA. |
| @Dirk Becker | SAP TechEd (#SAPtd) Lecture of the Week: Big Data @ Web Dynpro ABAP/FPM - Analytical and Productivity Features | Dirk's 2014 TechEd lecture was selected as 'Lecture of the Week' for the week of 13th of July 2015.

| @Jens Ruths | Initial Search Page and subsequent External Navigation in the OVP Floorplan | Learn about the general requirements when navigating from a search result list, set up as an initial page, in an OVP application. |
| @Jens Boeckenhauer | A New Filter UIBB | I would like to introduce a new Generic UIBB which serves as an analytical data browser and can be used for deep drill-down into specific segments of your (potentially big) data. In combination with a results list, you can find your filtered data records and navigate into specific object maintenance. |
| @Jens Boeckenhauer | How to Create Beautiful Apps on BOPF Objects: Simple, without Code and Deploying Latest Features (I) | You may have heard that it is possible to create web applications with FPM without any UI code. You may also have heard that with NW 7.40 release, FPM offers a large variety of new modern features such as quickviews, charts, maps, responsive design features, carousels, etc. But if you want to make use of it, you may not know how to start - and how to continue. This blog aims to show you how in a guided tour, supplemented by many screenshots, easy to understand and easy to reproduce. |
| @Jens Boeckenhauer | A Single Point of Entry to FPM UI Development | The new 'transaction code' for FPM. |
| @Jens Ruths | Maximize Mode in the OVP Floorplan | With this feature, the end user can enlarge the display of a UIBB so that only this UIBB is visualized on the page and all other UIBBs are no longer displayed. |
| @Heike Leopold | Carousel UIBB | A new GUIBB capable of displaying icons and pictures in a carousel format. |

| @Christian Guenther | Asynchronous Events | If you must start a backend process from your FPM application that takes longer than 1 second, you have the following options:
|
| @Christian Guenther | Work Protection | The basic requirement for work protection is very simple: Whenever the application contains unsaved data ('is dirty') and the user is about to leave the application, present him with a data-loss popup. Although this seems to be a rather easy requirement, there is some complexity involved. This is due to the fact that 3 parties must interact: The shell (Portal or NWBC), FPM and the business logic. |
| @Ulrich Miller | Switching from the Old List UIBB to the New List UIBB (aka List ATS UIBB) | How you can switch from the List UIBB to the List ATS UIBB and the new features you can expect. |
| @Julia Bender | Translation and Texts of FPM Applications | All you ever wanted to know about translation of FPM objects. |
| @Dirk Becker | Model-Driven UI Development with FPM | Deriving UIs directly from business logic relations is an old dream of Software Architects and UI Designers. Many frameworks were built to reach this goal, but most of them failed due to the complexity of the business logic which needed to be implemented. Until now! Generation and configuration of UIs has never been as easy as it is today with FPM. |

| @Jens Ruths | Drag & Drop in FPM GUIBBs | All you need to know about D&D in GUIBBs... |
| @Jens Ruths | Melting Groups in the Display Mode of the GUIBB Form@GL2.0 | There are often fields in forms that belong semantically together and are therefore positioned one after the other in the same row of the form. Such fields are called “Melting Groups”. Typical examples include addresses with zip code and city, street and house number, phone numbers with area code and extension, amount and their currency, or numbers and their measure unit. |
