SAP Screen Personas slipstream - Mobile layout - how to hide dots at the bottom

[former_member621818]

Hello,

I hide this action box in IW22.

It works fine in desktop layout. However, in mobile, it shows there are 2 dots at the bottom

I've tried to edit flavor in mobile because this control can't be found when it's in desktop layout. However, I can't find edit button when I use device mode in Chrome to simulate mobile devices.

Is there anyway I can hide and disable dots at the bottom?

Regards,

Tri

Hi Tri,

Usually when you see two dots (or more dots) is because it is showing a second screen. As Tamas pointed out it happens to be a blank screen. Most likely if you get rid of the blank screen and the dots will go away automatically.

Your mobile view doesn't seem to fit the screen provided. What happens you fit the controls in the screen size for the mobile view, do the dots go away?

Thanks,

Brian

Hi bwills,

The issue is we still want to use that box in SAPGUI. We only want to hide it in slipstream so we can't get rid of the box.

And about the mobile view, I've tried the transaction in the iphone 6/7/8 device mode in chrome but it still doesn't fit the screen. I don't think it's responsive.

Hi Tri,

You should be able to determine what Gui you are on. See this script.

var gui = session.info.guiType;
//Provides the GUI runtime in which the current script is executed. Values are:
//0 (= SAP GUI for Windows)
//1 (= SAP GUI for Html)
//2 (= SAP GUI for Java)
//3 (= SAP Screen Personas Slipsteam Engine)

If "gui" variable is equal to 3 then you are on the Slipstream engine. Now you can hide the field in question.

For the mobile view. They have adaptive flavours since SP8. See this youtube video from the SAP UX Engineering YouTube channel Productivity Power Play 61: SP08 Release it will explain how it works.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Brian

Hi Tri,

It doesn't look like this is currently possible. To me, it would seem logical that if the content of that pane is hidden, there should automatically not be such horizontal navigation dots, taking up valuable screen real estate. Besides, if you tap the dot on the right, it shows you an empty screen which can be confusing for users.

If it cannot happen automatically, there should be a way to suppress / hide those dots if desired.

I suggest that you create a support incident and ask for a solution to this.

Tamas.

Hi Tamas,

Thanks for your input.

Yeah you're right. It shows an empty screen when tapping the dot on the right.

I think I'll raise a support ticket.

Thanks.
