In this example, we will customize the Create PM Notification: Initial Screen using the Liquid UI through the following steps.
- Using the title(), change the title of Create PM Notification: Initial Screen to Create PM Notification - Liquid UI.
//Changes the title to "Create PM Notification - Liquid UI" title ("Create PM Notification - Liquid UI");
- Using the del(), delete Notification input field and Reference group box.
//Deletes Notification and Reference input field del("F[Notification]"); del("G[Reference]");
- Using the text(), change the Notification type input field to Select Notification type and add a text box titled Enter Notification Information, as shown below.
//Changes screen element name and adds text box text("F[Notification type]","Select Notification type",{"text":true}); text([7,30],"Enter Notification Information"); textbox([8,15],[14,66],{"name":"z_iw21_textbox","textfont":"Arial","textheight":"15","textweight":"5"});
- Add a push button “Notify” to execute the process iw21_copytext when clicked.
//Creates a pushbutton with the label Notify. pushbutton([16,35],"Notify",{"process":iw21_copytext});
- Add a function to copy the notification to the next screen.
//Adds a function to copy the notification entered in the text box to next screen. function iw21_copytext()
{ //Create PM Notification:Maintenance request onscreen 'SAPLIQS0.7200' copytext({"fromtext":"z_iw21_textbox","toscreen":"X[TEXT]"}); }
