In this blog I will be covering some of the key features available in the May 2017 (1705) release of SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer for Fiori client (formerly known as Responsive UI).

Theme Builder can be used to customize the color of SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer as per your branding needs.
Administrators can create a custom theme which will be applied for all roles/users.

The areas of the application which can be changed are:
Global

You can export a custom theme from the Test System and import it into the Production System.

Theme Builder is launched and shows 2 themes:

An option to create a Custom Theme
Selecting the Custom Theme shows the UI elements list for which you can change colors. Shown below are elements of Navigation Pane with background color changed to Red
Administrators have the option to Save the custom theme while they continue to work on the theme at a later time or they can publish the theme to all users.
Once the theme is published the administrator can then export the theme from the Test tenant and import it into the Production tenant.

Object Locking (Feature enabled upon request)
NOTE: To enable this feature on your tenant please create an incident requesting this feature. Please note there are certain limitation with this feature and may impact your custom enhancements.
Locking of objects for editing has been changed to getting immediate lock when the user triggers the edit mode.
Prior to 1705 release, object locks were only obtained when the user triggered the SAVE action. This resulted in the user being unaware of data being changed in parallel sessions by other users.
From 1705 release, object locks are immediately obtained once the user selects the “EDIT” action. All other users who want to read/edit this object will see the error message that the object is being edited
This change in locking behavior provides clear user experience so that the user reading an object knows that someone else is editing the object. They can re-launch the object to see updated information.
Note: Locking is only done for the main object that is being edited (e.g. Account) and not secondary objects (e.g. Activities) which are shown on the Object Detail.
Releasing locks from previous sessions
When a user logs into multiple sessions across devices/browsers they will be provided a message popup informing about duplicate sessions.
If the user decides to end other sessions, then any object locks from the previous sessions will be released.
This feature is available in Fiori client and HTML5 UI.
Numeric Keypad
Numeric keypad has been enabled for numeric fields for touch devices.
AutoNavi Map for China (HTML5 UI only)
Maps for China (AutoNavi map) will be available for HTML5 UI.
NOTE: To enable this feature on your tenant please create an incident requesting this feature
Limitation for AutoNavi map
China Map to be used for plotting information with China and for users based out of China where the standard Google Map may not work.
Addresses need to be maintained in Simplified Chinese for these to be plotted on the AutoNavi map.
