UI5 Building Blocks: How to enable global variant management?

[JanKrieg]

Hi experts,

I am using sap.fe.macros.Table in a freestyle app (not within the FLP) and have set the parameter variantManagement = "Control". I can save variants locally but not globally so that they are available to other users. I assume this requires creating a database table and implementing specific event handlers. However, I haven't found any relevant events in the API documentation.

The API documentation for sap.fe.macros.Table mentions: "If set with value Control, a variant management control is displayed within the table, and the table is linked to it." How can I access this control to attach the necessary event handlers? Is there any sample code available for this?

i don't think you need to do anything,

this is example, my free style page has filter bar and tree table, their vairant are managed by one variantmanagement control.

<v:VariantManagement id="idCCBTVM" for="idFilterBar,idContractListTbl"></v:VariantManagement>

the filter bar is macro control,<macros:FilterBar ,

Hi Junwu,

I clicked "Save As," entered the name "xyz" for the variant, and additionally checked the "Public" field. However, the variant is saved only locally.

Another user cannot see the variant "xyz." I checked the network traffic, and there is no call to save the variant. How can another user see the variant if it is not saved to the database? This is what I mean by saving it globally.

Thanks,
Jan

what is your environment?

The app runs on the BTP. It is a CAP application.
