  • Trays are strongly discouraged because they can confuse users. Programmatically hide elements instead.
  1. TextView versus InputField-ReadOnly
    • For text fields that will always be read-only, developers should use TextView (not InputField-ReadOnly).
    • For text fields that will sometimes be editable but under other conditions read-only (e.g. HSA Details screen), developers would prefer to use InputField-ReadOnly.
    • For screens that have a mix of field types, group things accordingly.   Keep TextView together or InputFields together for better visual user experience.  Try not to alternate or mix types.
  2. For confirmation screens and button order, follow the SAP standard of ordering the buttons in order of "Yes/No".
  3. For pop-ups that contain variable length texts .....<tbd>
