Documentation

Definition

This field concerns itself with the display of those UIBBs whose should expand to fill available space at runtime.

Use

When a UIBB configuration is added to a floorplan configuration, the UIBB configuration is enclosed in a Web Dynpro ABAP layout container or transparent container (and these may be also be nested). At runtime, the browser 'asks' the UIBBs (and their containers) how much (vertical) space they need.

If the UIBB has its height fixed (for example, by setting the Height field in the General Settings panel), then the browser knows how much space to make available.

If the UIBB contains resizable elements, the browser provides them with zero space, and the contents of the UIBB are not displayed.

Naturally, some UIBBs have no fixed height; they are required to adapt to the available space on the screen.

Examples of such UIBBs include the following:

  • Chart GUIBB (with no fixed height)
  • VisBiz GUIBB (with no fixed height)
  • List ATS GUIBB (when Table Height = Fit to Height of Surrounding Container)
  • UI controls containing a PDF or Adobe Interactive Form (with no fixed heights)

To avoid their non-display at runtime, you can set this field so that the UIBB and all its surrounding containers are expanded (lengthened) to fill the available space.

Note that you can only set this flag for one UIBB per page; the browser is unable to prioritize when two or more UIBBs are requesting space.
