User interfaces based on Core Data Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CDS-View UI annotations are a central concept in SAP development projects for designing user interfaces based on Core Data Services (CDS). They enable the modeling of UI-relevant information directly in the data models and thus form the basis for automatic UI generation in SAP Fiori Elements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A typical example of the use of UI annotations is the definition of list reports or object pages in Fiori Elements. Here, specific annotations such as @UI.lineItem for tables, @UI.fieldGroup for form fields or @UI.selectionField for filter fields are used to describe the structure and behavior of the UI directly in the CDS views. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find all UI annotations is an overview on the website of SAP SE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most relevant CDS-View annotations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There an lots of CDS-View annotations. Here are the most relevant – in our opinion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annotations<\/th>Description<\/th>Scope of application<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
@UI.lineItem<\/td>Defines columns in tables, in list reports e.g.<\/td>Table view<\/td><\/tr>
@UI.selectionField<\/td>Highlights fields which should be shown in the filter bar.<\/td>Filter bar<\/td><\/tr>
@UI.identification<\/td>Defines fields that are displayed on detail pages, e.g. in the \u201cGeneral information\u201d section.<\/td>Detail page<\/td><\/tr>
@UI.fieldGroup<\/td>Groups fields into logical units, e.g. for form sections.<\/td>Forms<\/td><\/tr>
@UI.headerInfo<\/td>Defines title and description in the header area of a detail page<\/td>Detail page<\/td><\/tr>
@UI.chart<\/td>Describes charts, including type, dimensions and key figures.<\/td>Diagrams<\/td><\/tr>
@UI.dataPoint<\/td>Visualizes individual values, e.g. with status displays or trend information.<\/td>Key figure displays<\/td><\/tr>
@UI.statusInfo<\/td>Displays status information, e.g. with colors or icons<\/td>Status displays<\/td><\/tr>
@UI.hidden<\/td>Controls the visibility of fields in the UI.<\/td>In general<\/td><\/tr>
@UI.importance<\/td>Specifies the importance of an element (e.g. HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW), which can influence the display on different devices.<\/td>Responsive design<\/td><\/tr>
