SAP Fiori Overview Page - Table Cards in detail

[former_member103161]

You would by now have created your own Overview Page application, and also played around with different card types. In this blog I will be getting into the details of adding table cards.

Table card is very similar to the List Card with an additional column header. Fig 1 shows a regular Table card



Fig 1

Navigation concepts are similar for both list and table cards and you can refer to List card blog to check the details.

For the above card I have used Northwind service, annotation used is as in Sample 1.1 and Manifest snippet for sap.ovp is as in Sample 1.2

<Annotations Target="NorthwindModel.Customer_and_Suppliers_by_City">

    <Annotation Term="UI.LineItem">

        <Collection>

            <Record Type="UI.DataField">

                <PropertyValue Property="Value" Path="City"/>

                <PropertyValue Property="Label" String="City"/>

            </Record>

            <Record Type="UI.DataField">

                <PropertyValue Property="Value" Path="CompanyName"/>

                <PropertyValue Property="Label" String="Company Name"/>

            </Record>



            <Record Type="UI.DataField">

                <PropertyValue Property="Value" Path="ContactName"/>

                <PropertyValue Property="Label" String="Contact Name"/>

            </Record>

        </Collection>

    </Annotation>

</Annotations>

Sample 1.1

	"sap.ovp": {

		"globalFilterModel": "NorthWind",

		"globalFilterEntityType": "Category",

		"cards": {

			"Test_OVPTest_card01": {

				"model": "NorthWind",

				"template": "sap.ovp.cards.table",

				"settings": {

					"title": "{{Test_OVPTest_card01_title}}",

					"entitySet": "Customer_and_Suppliers_by_Cities",

					"annotationPath": "com.sap.vocabularies.UI.v1.LineItem"

				}

			}

		}

	}

Sample 1.2

Table card gives additional semantic colouring capabilities to columns, based on criticality calculation. Here is a sample card:



Fig 2

For the above card I have used Northwind service, annotation used is as in Sample 2.1 and Manifest snippet for sap.ovp is as in Sample 2.2

 

<Annotations Target="NorthwindModel.Category_Sales_for_1997">

    <Annotation Term="UI.DataPoint" Qualifier="Sales">

        <Record Type="UI.DataPointType">

            <PropertyValue Property="Title" String="Sales"/>

            <PropertyValue Property="Value" Path="CategorySales"/>

            <PropertyValue Property="CriticalityCalculation">

                <Record Type="UI.CriticalityCalculationType">

                    <PropertyValue Property="ImprovementDirection" EnumMember="UI.ImprovementDirectionType/Maximize"/>

                    <PropertyValue Property="ToleranceRangeLowValue" Int="500000"/>

                    <PropertyValue Property="ToleranceRangeHighValue" Int="700000"/>

                </Record>

            </PropertyValue>

        </Record>

    </Annotation>

    <Annotation Term="UI.LineItem">

        <Collection>

            <Record Type="UI.DataField">

                <PropertyValue Property="Value" Path="CategoryName"/>

                <PropertyValue Property="Label" String="Category"/>

            </Record>

            <Record Type="UI.DataFieldForAnnotation">

                <PropertyValue Property="Label" String="Sales"/>

                <PropertyValue Property="Target" AnnotationPath="@UI.DataPoint#Sales"/>

            </Record>

        </Collection>

    </Annotation>

</Annotations>

Sample 2.1

			"Test_OVPTest_card02": {

				"model": "NorthWind",

				"template": "sap.ovp.cards.table",

				"settings": {

					"title": "{{Test_OVPTest_card02_title}}",

					"entitySet": "Category_Sales_for_1997",

					"addODataSelect": false,

					"annotationPath": "com.sap.vocabularies.UI.v1.LineItem"

				}

			}
