The CubeServ Fiori Launchpad Extensions have been enhanced with additional features: the mouse-over text and the dynamic title or subtitle. I would be happy to introduce you to a hidden feature with which you can visualize your Launchpad more clearly. We are constantly developing the application further. In this article, I will show you the possibilities that you can use in the CubeServ Fiori Launchpad Extensions in the future.
Query runtime information as mouse-over text
A new feature is the mouse-over text that displays query runtime information. This text appears as soon as the mouse is moved to an analytic or chart tile and stops. The query runtime information includes, for example:
- Technical name and description of query
- Calling user
- Time of the last update
- Key Date
- Variable and filtering, etc
This information is basically visible to everyone, but can be controlled by authorization.
Dynamic title and subtitle
The “Title” and “Subtitle” fields of tiles can now be filled with variable or filter values. These are particularly useful if, for example, the time or organization information in Query, such as the current released period, is filled by a customer exit variable, and the time information is to be displayed in the tile as a title or subtitle. In the example, the authorized control area is displayed.
Display tiles visually differently
The hidden function, which is not mentioned in the SAP standard you can further customize your Launchpad. Because according to SAP, only icons can be displayed in tiles. But images such as company logos, and employee or product photos are also possible. Through the use of images, the tiles can be designed differently, both standard and CubeServ as well as CubeServ group and tree tiles. This means that the individual tiles differ visually and the corresponding tile can be found more quickly.
Implement ideas from customers
Some customers are already working intensively with the CubeServ Fiori Launchpad Extensions. We have already received requests and new ideas for extensions. We are happy to comply with them. We are already working to ensure that you can use the following features in the future:
Message tile as group and tree tile
The message tile can be offered as a group and tree tile so that they can also be provided with an image. This makes the message tiles even more visually appealing and easier to recognize.
Comment function
The comment function is useful for dashboards. This requires the comment button in the header area of the Fiori Launchpad. After pressing the button, the Launchpad goes into “Comment” mode. If you now click on a tile, a pop-up window appears in which you can enter and save comments. Clicking the comment button again returns the Launchpad to normal mode. The user then sees the comments as mouse-over texts next to the respective tile.
Tile 2×2
In the 2×2 tile, two charts or a KPI(s) and a chart can be accommodated in a larger tile. This allows two charts to be compared with each other or KPI(s) to be supplemented with a chart. As is already possible in SAP’s SAPUI5 documentation.
Which new feature do you find most interesting for your work? I look forward to your feedback.
