Popover
sap.m.Popover | sap.m.ResponsivePopover
The popover displays additional information for an object in a compact way and without leaving the page. The popover can contain various UI elements such as fields, tables, images, and charts. It can also include actions in the footer.
Note: The quick view is similar to a popover, but has a predefined structure, a fixed set of UI elements, and automatic UI rendering. Check first whether the quick view is appropriate for your use case. For more information, see Quick View.
Use a popover if:
- You need to define your own structure.
- You want to show UI elements that are not available with the quick view.
Do not use a popover if:
- The quick view is more appropriate for your use case.
- The objects are in a master list (in this case, the details are shown in the details area).
The popover can be used in the following ways:
- Responsive and adaptive: sap.m.ResponsivePopover
Shows a dialog on smartphones (to be closed with an X) and a popover on a tablet or desktop. - Non-responsive: sap.m.Popover
Always shows a popover. Only use a non-responsive popover if it has very little content. On smartphones, the popover should not use more than a third of the phone’s real estate.
Structure of Popover
The header and footer are generally optional. The other elements are as follows:
Back (1) – optional
Needs to be implemented if the user can trigger further popovers. Always show popovers in place. Never place them on top of each other.
Title (2)
We recommend that you show an app-specific title for accessibility reasons. If you do not show a title, use the invisible text control (sap.ui.core.InvisibleText) to set a text for screen reader support.
Close function (3)
This feature closes the dialog. It is available for smartphones only and is set automatically (sap.m.ResponsivePopover).
Content (4)
Ensure that the content has a basic design and shows only the most important information. We recommend the following:
- Use no more than two groups.
- Limit the total number of fields to eight.
- Use single-column tables.
- Use micro charts.
Actions (5) – optional
The user opens a popover by clicking or tapping an object represented by a text link or an icon. To improve accessibility, we recommend using texts, such as the name or ID of an object.
The popover is closed when the user clicks or taps outside the popover or selects an action within the popover.
When the popover is open over a table, and the user clicks outside the popover to close it, this can trigger unwanted drill-down navigation to a table item. Since this interaction changes the whole screen content, you can suppress drill-down navigation on tables when popovers are open on the same screen.
