Configure Navigation to the Subobject Page

In this exercise, you will add internal navigation to the subobject page. The navigation will be triggered from the Bookings table to display further details of a corresponding booking.

Prerequisites

You have completed the exercise Add a Bookings Table to the Object Page in the unit Configuring Tables (lesson: Adding a Table to the Object Page).

Watch the Simulation and Perform the Steps

This exercise contains a simulation that takes you through detailed steps. You can find all the steps after the simulation. You can follow the simulation and perform the steps using your own trial account.

Steps

  1. Open SAP Business Application Studio.

  2. Right-click webapp from your travels project.

  3. Choose the Show Page Map option from the subsequent menu.

  4. Select the add icon from the Object Page in Page Editor.

  5. Select the Select Page Type field from the Add Page dialog box. You can see that it is possible to add navigation to an object page (subobject page), or to a custom page.

  6. ObjectPage is selected by default in the Select Page Type field.

  7. Select the dropdown icon for the Navigation field.

  8. Choose _Booking (BookingType) as the value for the field.

  9. Select Add from the Add Page dialog box. You can see that a new object page (subobject page) has been added to the app in the Page Editor.

  10. Switch to the app preview in your browser. You can see that there is now a chevron for each table entry of the Bookings table.

  11. Select the first booking. You have navigated to the subobject page. It opens next to the object page because you configured flexible column layout in one of the previous exercises. The subobject page is still empty, so you can just see the technical ID of the selected booking.

Result

You successfully added internal navigation to the subobject page that provides the details of a booking.
