Situation Handling Updated guidelines and controls for Situation Handling, which helps businesses run smoothly by automatically informing the right users about the issues that require their attention, for example, consumed contracts, pending confirmations and approvals, deviating deliveries, and upcoming deadlines.

Users can now see situations displayed in business apps and in an app dedicated to situations. They can also be informed by notifications on SAP Fiori launchpad or by email.

Situation Handling
Situation Handling Controls NEW Situation Handling comes with multiple controls for the UX pattern of progressive disclosure that improves usability by delivering users information and capabilities gradually.

Initially, users see the minimal display for a situation. They can seek additional levels of detail about it, according to their needs and goals.

Situation Handling Controls
Overview in a Situations App NEW The Situations app displays all situations in a user’s area of responsibility.

There are two versions of the app:

  • My Situations – Extended comes with the extended framework for Situation Handling and is the reference app for UX design.
  • My Situations comes with the standard framework for Situation Handling and is a simplified version that contains only a work list.

System Information Bar NEW With SAP S/4HANA Cloud, customers and partners receive a three-system landscape: a development system, a test system, and a production system.

  • In applications with Microsoft Team integration, the contact quick view card displays options for starting a Microsoft Teams audio call, video call, or chat with the contact.
  • For sections or subsections that contain a single text area, application teams can enable an option to display the section or subsection title instead of the text area label when the object page is in display mode.

Table Toolbar With both SAP Fiori elements for OData V2 and V4, after users copy data from another SAP Fiori elements application or an external application, they can paste it to:

  • A table

Users focus anywhere in the table or select an empty row and paste the data. One or more new rows are created for the pasted data.

This feature is available only for draft-enabled applications and for tables where inline creation or the insertion of empty rows has been enabled.

  • A cell or range of cells, only in grid and responsive tables

Users select a cell or cell range within the table and paste the data. If the selected cell or cells are in:

    • Active or draft rows, the pasted data replaces the values in those rows.
    • An empty row, new rows are created for the pasted data.

To paste, they can use the Paste action in the toolbar or use a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+V for Microsoft Windows, Cmd+V for MacOS).

With SAP Fiori elements for OData V4:

  • The default Copy action in the table toolbar, can now be disabled in all toolbar tables or in or specific ones.
  • The default limit for the number of rows that Export action can export is 1000. The application development team can change the limit.

About Guideline Updates

With each new guideline version, we deliver two types of update:

  • Updates to reflect new or changed UI controls available with SAPUI5 or SAP Web Components.
  • Ongoing updates on how to best apply the SAP Fiori design (such as patterns, floorplans, and additional decision support). These updates are introduced with a given guideline version, but are not necessarily dependent on a specific SAPUI5 version.

Note: Our policy is to update only the latest guideline version. If you are working with an earlier SAPUI5 release, also consider checking out the most recent guideline version to get the latest general guidance.
