Showing and Hiding Content in Object Page Facets

Showing and Hiding Content in Object Page Facets

You can show or hide reference facets on the UI using the Show More and Show Less buttons, and show or hide fields inside reference facets using the Show Details and Hide Details buttons.

Showing and Hiding Reference Facets Using Show More and Show Less Buttons

The Show More button appears in the bottom right corner if hidden facets are available.

Show More

The Show Less button appears in the bottom right corner if a user has clicked the Show More button, allowing users to hide the additional information.

Show Less

To enable this feature, set the UI.PartOfPreview annotation of the relevant reference facet to false, as shown in the following sample code:

Tip

If you don't set this annotation explicitly, the system uses the default setting, where UI.PartOfPreview equals true.

Sample Code

XML Annotation

Sample Code
Hidden
<Record Type="UI.ReferenceFacet">
    <PropertyValue Property="Label" String="{@i18n>@ShipToAddress}"/>
    <PropertyValue Property="ID" String="ShipToAddress"/>
    <PropertyValue Property="Target"
    AnnotationPath="@UI.FieldGroup#ShipToAddress"/>
    <Annotation Term="UI.PartOfPreview" Bool="false"/>
</Record>

Sample Code

ABAP CDS Annotation

Sample Code
Hidden
@UI.Facet: [{
        type: #FIELDGROUP_REFERENCE,
        label: 'Ship-To Address',
        targetQualifier: 'ShipToAddress',
        isPartOfPreview: false
}]

Sample Code

CAP CDS Annotation

Sample Code
Hidden
Facets: [{
    $Type : 'UI.ReferenceFacet',
    Label : '{@i18n>@ShipTo_NotPartOfPreview}',
    Target : '@UI.FieldGroup#ShipToAddress',
    ![@UI.PartOfPreview] : false
}]

Note

This feature is available for reference facets that are implemented under a collection facet.

Additional Features in SAP Fiori Elements for OData V4

You can show or hide fields and tables inside reference facets on the UI using the Show Details and Hide Details buttons.

The Show Details button appears in the facet toolbar if hidden fields and tables are available:

The Hide Details button appears in the facet toolbar if the user has clicked the Show Details button. This allows users to hide the additional information again.

To enable this feature, set the UI.PartOfPreview annotation of the relevant reference facet to false, as shown in the following sample code:

Tip

If you don't set this annotation explicitly, the system uses the default setting, where UI.PartOfPreview equals true.

Sample Code

XML Annotation

Sample Code
Hidden
<Record Type="UI.DataField">
    <PropertyValue Property="Label" String="{@i18n>@StreetName}" />
    <PropertyValue Property="Value" Path="StreetName" />
    <Annotation Term="UI.PartOfPreview" Bool="false" />
</Record>

Sample Code

ABAP CDS Annotation

No ABAP CDS annotation sample is available. Use the local XML annotation.

Sample Code

CAP CDS Annotation

Sample Code
Hidden
FieldGroup#ShipToAddress: {
    Data: [{
            $Type                : 'UI.DataField',
            Label                : '{@i18n>@StreetName}',
            Value                : StreetName,
            ![@UI.PartOfPreview] : false
    }]
}

Note

This feature is available for tables and data fields that are included in a visible reference facet. You can't use this feature for tables and data fields that are part of a reference facet that is initially hidden. This means that nesting of the UI.PartOfPreview annotation isn't possible.

You can explore and work with the coding yourself. Check out our live example in the flexible programming model explorer at Show/Hide Content.

Using Show More and Show Less Buttons

Restriction

This feature is applicable only to reference facets that have a FieldGroup as their target, for instance, a form representation. This feature isn't applicable to other target types, for instance, reference facets that point to a table or a chart.
