Hiding the Filter Bar

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to Create a worklist from the list report.

The Worklist

The worklist floorplan is a simplified list report without a filter bar. It displays a collection of items that are to be processed by the user. The processing of the items includes reviewing details of the list items and taking actions. This differs from the list report floorplan, which focuses on finding and acting on relevant items from a large dataset.

You can create a worklist page using the SAP Fiori application generator. You can also hide the filter bar in the list report to create a worklist. To hide the filter bar, you can either change the setting directly in the manifest.json file or use the Page Map to make the necessary changes to the manifest.json file.
