Object Page – Footer Bar

Intro

The SAP Fiori elements object page template supports the features and settings for the object page footer detailed below.

For design information, see the Object Page Floorplan guidelines and the links below.

Warning

Always build the object page using the dynamic page header.

Set the shellbar page title to the name of the business object shown in the object page to indicate the user’s position in the system.

Do not use the current implementation of the “page variant” feature in SAP Fiori elements. This feature is technically available for object pages, but we are still working on the final design.

Finalizing Actions

You can add finalizing actions to the footer bar.

A message toast is displayed when an operation is successful.

Finalizing actions complete the work on the current screen, by permanently changing the object state. You can also set them to navigate away from the object page.

Note that developers may call these actions determining actions.

Guidelines

Replace the generic placeholder text in the message toast with text that’s meaningful to the user.

For more information, see:

Save

The action is displayed by default in edit mode.

After saving, the user stays on the object page for applications both with and without draft handling enabled.

You can enable users to automatically navigate back to the list report when they save with SAP Fiori elements for OData V2. To do this, ask your development team to add close logic to the Save action.

Save and Edit

You can enable this action in non-draft applications with SAP Fiori elements for OData V2.

With the Save and Edit action, users save current changes and stay on the object page to continue editing.

Apply

You can enable this action in the footer bar of a subobject page in draft applications.

With the Apply action, users conclude the create or edit activity, save the draft, and navigate one step up in the object hierarchy.

Turned on by default, the button is only visible when messages are present and allows the user to open the message popover.

For more information, see:

Cancel

The action is displayed by default in edit mode.

Enabling / Disabling of Actions

You can enable or disable footer bar actions according to certain conditions. For example, to prevent users from archiving a sales order that is still being processed, you can enable the Archive action only for sales orders with the status Delivered or Cancelled.

Note that even if you disable all footer bar actions, the footer bar still appears onscreen for the display of the message popover, described above.
