Accessing Force Elements through SAP Fiori Apps

This figure shows the Manage Force Elements tile.

This figure displays the access to a full search.

This figure shows the screen that displays when a user is searching and wants to use filters. Unlike the quick search on the main page, this screen provides much more detail on the results.

This figure shows the position of the Hierarchy View tab.

This figure shows the position of the List View tab.

There are two ways to view a hierarchy. The first is more detail-orientated and can be accessed through the Manage Force Elements app.

This figure shows an example of a hierarchy view of Force Elements.

The other method of displaying FE hierarchy, is a much more visually appealing diagram. It can be accessed through the Display Force Structure app.

As we have previously noted, select the FE or search for the FE that is required.

Ensure that you have selected the appropriate relationship - that is, the one that needs to be displayed.

This figure outlines all the elements in the Display Force Structure screen.

This figure shows how to access the start of this functionality by selecting the Manage Force Elements tile.

Notice that this option is only available in List View, and it is not necessary to perform a search before creating a root Force Element.

This is where all the information about the root node can be entered.

The statuses of the root nodes are as they would be for a Force Element.

The main difference between a root Force Element and a Regular one is the absence of subordination relationships to superior Force Elements.

Structure types describe the hierarchical relationship (and therefore the size category) of the organizational unit. You assign a Force Element to a structure type, including the Root Object created here.

Choosing the Submit radio button after creation will "submit" the creation of a root element and progress the status to the next level.

The process to approve and then activate is the same as the previous step.

This figure illustrates the status of Force Elements during the creation process.
