Use

In this Customizing activity, you define the attributes for the OVS input help.

For more information about OVS input help, see SAP NetWeaver Library under SAP NetWeaver Developer's Guide -> Fundamentals -> Using ABAP -> Core Development Tasks -> UI Technology -> Web Dynpro for ABAP -> Web Dynpro ABAP: Development in Detail -> Advanced Concepts -> Input Help -> OVS Input Help.

Requirements

You have created a scenario and now want to define an OVS input help for individual fields of the scenario.

Standard settings

Activities

To set up the OVS value help, you must perform this Customizing activity and adjust the form in the Form Builder:

Customizing Activity

  1. Select a scenario (and choose a version, if there is more than one), then choose Characteristics for OVS.
    1. In the Field Name field, enter the characteristic for which you want to set up OVS input help.
    2. Select the Active checkbox.
  2. Choose Input/Output Fields to define input and output fields for the OVS input help for this field.
    1. Enter a Field Name. You can use all characteristics of the selected scenarios for this.
    2. Define the field type:
      3. - Input field for use as a search criterion for the search help
      - Output field: is displayed in the results list (can be hidden by using the Invisible in Output List indicator), and the value in this field is transferred to the form, if the entry is selected in the results list.
      If a field has superior fields, specify these here, too.
      If you want to display the field labels in the OVS input help, too, then select the related description field XXXX_DESCRIPTION (XXXX = field name), which must be defined in the scenario.
      Example: You have a field in your data model called ACCOUNT for the account. If you want to see the description in the OVS input help as well as the ID, enter the ACCOUNT field and the ACCOUNT_DESCRIPTION field under input/output fields.

Form Builder

In the Form Builder (transaction SFP), you must adjust the form layout for the OVS input help. To do this, add the following object, which you will find under Insert:

  • -> ISR Native Controls -> ISR Text Edit - OVS

    In the script in event handler Click of the inserted object, enter the usual data binding and the relevant field name

    var fieldName = "<FieldNameToBeReplaced>";

    Note: Replace the placeholders <FieldNameToBeReplaced> (or <REPLACE_THIS>) with the name of the relevant field.

    To determine field names, proceed as follows: Select the input field in OVS input help; choose the Object tab, and then the Binding (or Data) tab. The field name is shown on this tab under Name.
