Within our company the ALV feature is very popular. Within an ALV report in "classic" ABAP - as I call it nowadays - it is possible to move columns around manually, just by drag & drop. Also hiding/unhiding columns in an ALV in classic ABAP is just a matter of right mouse click and select hide or show column. Once you are satisfied with the layout, you can save it as a user or standard layout.
Web Dynpro ABAP is getting there with ALV but is missing the drag & drop and hide/unhide features. In WDA I first have to go to settings, move around columns, delete columns if I want to "hide", save it and then I see the result on screen. If I don't like it, I have to go back to settings again etc. To summarize: in my opinion it is far too much hassle to move columns around, absolutely not as userfriendly as classic ABAP (yet).
I know Visual Composer will get ALV features similar to the ALV features available in Web Dynpro ABAP as of SAP NW VC CE. I think it would be a great improvement when ALV features in both Visual Composer and Web Dynpro would be extended with the column drag & drop and the column hide/unhide without the need to go to settings to get this done.
Does somebody know if there are plans to add this to future releases of VC?
kind regards
