Floorplan Manager for Web

Dynpro ABAP
Use

Floorplan Manager (FPM) is a highly configurable user interface (UI)

framework for easy and efficient application development and adaptation
based on Web Dynpro ABAP.

With the help of predefined elements such as floorplans, toolbars and

generic user interface building blocks, FPM provides you with consistency
across applications and compliance with SAP UI design guidelines, as well
as greatly reducing the time required to create such applications.

Central functions such as navigation, messaging, and personalization are

embedded in the framework, and can be easily defined by application
programming interfaces (APIs).

FPM allows you to easily adapt delivered Web Dynpro ABAP UIs to your
specific needs modification-free by simple UI configuration, and to
combine application-specific views of one or more business applications
into new Floorplan Manager applications.

Integration

FPM is a Web Dynpro ABAP application that is integrated into the Web
Dynpro ABAP development environment.

Features

FPM supports you in creating and configuring UIs by providing you with,
amongst other things, the following components:

 SAP-Defined Floorplans
Combinations of UI patterns arranged in a specific order in an
application, allowing the user to accomplish a certain activity, such as
searching for, identifying, and maintaining data for an object.
 The areas of a floorplan such as a message area, navigation area,
and content area are automatically implemented by the FPM
framework.
 Generic UI Building Blocks
SAP UI-compliant templates for displaying content. Examples include
templates for displaying data in a form or list view.
 FPM Configuration Editor (FLUID-Flexible User Interface Designer)
Editor allowing you to configure the application composition as a
whole as well as the individual floorplan and generic UI building
blocks within it.
