Frequently Asked Questions
What are Fiori Elements floor plans?
Fiori Elements floor plans are pre-built UI patterns: List Report + Object Page (most common, for list-detail apps), Worklist, Analytical List Page, Overview Page, and Form. Each floor plan uses the same CDS annotations but renders them differently.
What is the Flexible Programming Model?
The Flexible Programming Model (FPM) allows mixing Fiori Elements-generated sections with custom UI5 controls in the same app. You can extend Object Page sections, add custom columns to tables, or replace entire sections with custom content while keeping the Fiori Elements shell.
Which annotation controls the "Create" button visibility?
@Capabilities.InsertRestrictions.Insertable: false hides the Create button. In RAP, create capability is controlled by the behavior definition (create; or no create;). The matrix shows the full mapping between annotations and their resulting UI effects.
