The hierarchy framework is a Basis development that helps you to program applications for visualizing and modifying hierarchical structures and objects. It provides a framework for displaying hierarchical structures like the ones you create in Organizational Management (OM).
The interface layout of an application created by using the hierarchy framework, for example the Organization and Staffing interface, is divided into the following screen areas:
- Object Manager:
- The area on the left of the screen is called the object manager and always consists of a search area and a selection area.
- Work Area:
- The area on the right of the screen is called the work area. It is built in a specific way for each application. The Organization and Staffing interface is divided into the overview area and the detail area.
The menu bar and the application toolbar are above the object manager and the work area.
If you want to display the basic technical names of the individual screen areas, you must maintain the user parameters listed in the table with a value of ‘X’ to activate the parameters.
The following table describes the user parameters:
| Set/Get Parameter ID | Parameter Value | Short Description |
|---|---|---|
| OM_OBJM_SCEN_DISPLAY | X | Displays Object Manager Scenario for Customizing |
| OM_FRAM_SCEN_DISPLAY | X | Displays Hierarchy Framework Scenario for Customizing |
| OM_ARRAYTYPE_DISPLAY | X | Displays array type information for Customizing (this is the column framework) |
| OM_TABTYPE_DISPLAY | X | Displays tab type information for Customizing (this is the technical tab card key) |
