Use

In this Customizing activity, you can define the layout of the navigation frame, which consists of:

  • Header and footer area
  • Work area
  • Navigation bar

Header and Footer Area

The header area is a static, non-scrolling area of the application that is only rendered once per session. It is located at the top of the screen and consists of the following header components:

  • Logo area
  • Message area
  • Global function area
  • Context area

This layout of header components is the default header implementation for the header frame. You can implement a custom header for your profile.

The footer area is a non-scrolling area at the bottom of the screen that is only rendered once. As with the header, for each profile, you can define an application to be loaded in this frame.

Work Area

The work area has a work area header and a work area subheader. The work area header is a non-scrolling area that spans the width of the application. The work area subheader is a non-scrolling area that spans only the width of the work area.

Navigation Bar

The navigation bar contains subareas or components defined in the layout profile. The navigation bar can consist of 1 to n subcomponents. The DEFAULT layout profile provides the following subareas:

  • Picture area
  • Menu area
  • Shortcut area

Requirements

You have defined the layout components in the Customizing activity Define Layout Components.

Standard settings

Activities

Define Layout Profile

To create a layout profile, determine the following:

  • Layout profile name and description
  • Header application
    Note
    If you do not specify a header application, the framework uses the standard header application.
  • Header page within the application that you want to render in the header frame
  • Header height in pixels
    Note
    You can adjust the header height if you want to use your own company logo that does not entirely fit into the header area, for example. If you specify a value of 0 (zero), the header is hidden. For more information about how to use your own logo, see Customizing activity Define Icons.
  • Header components
    If you use the default header application implementation, there are four header components that can be configured: logo area, message area, global function area, and context area.
    Each header component can be hidden. These header components must be predefined in the Customizing activity Define Layout Components.
  • Work area header and subheader
    The work area header and subheader can be hidden. Both components must be predefined in the Customizing activity Define Layout Components.
    Note
    If you would like to activate the working context and are using a layout other than the SAP standard, make sure that WORKAREA_HEADER is assigned to the Header Comp. ID field. The working context is available by default in the CRM_UIU_MASTER_WCTXT layout profile.
  • Footer application
  • Footer page within the application that you want to be rendered in the footer frame.
  • Footer height
    Note
    If you specify a value of 0 (zero), the footer is hidden.
  • Progress indicator type
    You can choose the default progress indicator type (wait notice) or you can choose the gradient bar, which is displayed at the top of the browser window.

Add Navigation Components to Layout Profile

To add a component to the navigation bar for your profile, make sure that the component you want to add has been defined in the Customizing activity Define Layout Components.

Determine the order of the navigation components in your profile.
