Status Colors and Icons

Status Colors and Icons

The UI annotations in CDS for LineItem, Identification and FieldGroup have an attribute in the corresponding fields that indicates how critical the field is using colors and icons. This attribute has to refer to another property, which contains the value of the criticality.

<Record Type="UI.DataField">
		<PropertyValue Property="Criticality" Path="to_ProductStock/StockCriticality"/>
		<PropertyValue Property="Value" Path="to_ProductStock/StockEmergencyLevel"/>
        <PropertyValue Property="CriticalityRepresentation" EnumMember="UI.CriticalityRepresentationType/WithIcon"/>
		<Annotation Term="UI.Importance" EnumMember="UI.ImportanceType/High"/>
</Record>

The property containing the criticality can have the following values (derived from the complex type CriticalityType of the vocabulary com.sap.vocabularies.UI.v1):

• 0 - Neutral

• 1 - Negative (red)

• 2 - Critical (orange)

• 3 - Positive (green)

• 5 - Information (blue): For items which need the user's attention

  Note

  • By default, SAP Fiori elements assumes that the DataField is also marked with "CriticalityRepresentationType/WithIcon" and sets the icon of the ObjectStatus appropriately (for example, for fields marked with "com.sap.vocabularies.UI.v1.CriticalityType/Negative", SAP Fiori elements sets the 'sap-icon://status-negative').

  • If the field is marked with "CriticalityRepresentationType/WithoutIcon", then the ObjectStatus is rendered without the icon.
