Layout and variant management has been implemented in the xSuite overviews in xSuite Web.

This gives the user quick and easy access to reproducible view settings. The selection view and the hit list can be controlled individually.

Creating a new variant

If changes are made in the selection view or in the hit list, this is indicated with an asterisk (*) in the name of the variant.

For search fields, the change will not apply until you leave the field.

To save changes in the selection dialog My Views, click the button Save.

This dialog displays all variants that are marked as favorites. To load a variant, select it.

In the dialog My Views, the following buttons are available:

Button	Description
Save	Saves the changes to the current variant as a new variant. Open the dialog Save View by clicking on the button. View: Unique name of the variant Set as default: The variant will be used as the default variant if this check box is activated. Public: The variant will be saved as a public variant if this check box is activated. The variant will be saved as a private variant if this checkbox is deactivated or if it is not displayed. The check box is available only if the user has the WEB_GLOBAL_VARIANTS user attribute equal to X. Save: Saves the variant. Cancel: Cancels the operation.
Manage	Opens the dialog Manage Views. All available variants can be managed in this dialog. For more information, see Management of variants.

Management of variants

In the dialog Manage Views, all variants to which a user has access are listed.

The Search field allows the user to search for specific variants and to filter the list of variants.

The Manage Views dialog consists of the following columns:

Column	Description
Favorites	Shows one of the following icons: - The variant is marked as a favorite. - The variant is not marked as a favorite. To change the favorite status, click on the icon. Only variants marked as favorites are displayed in the selection dialog My Views.
View	Variant name The user can rename his/her own variants. The name of the variant Standard and the names of variants created by other users are not editable.
Sharing	Indicates whether a variant is public or private. This column is only displayed if there are public variants as well as private ones.
Default	Indicates whether a variant has been marked as a default variant. By changing the selected radio button, the default variant can be changed. The default variant is called automatically when the application is launched. For each user, exactly one variant is always marked as the default variant.
Created by	Name of the user who created the variant
Delete	Shows the icon . This icon can be used to delete your own variants.

The Save button is used to save the changes. Deleted variants are not actually deleted until you have saved.

The Cancel button can be used to discard the changes made, including deletions.

With Version 5.2.7 a cache buster was introduced for xSuite Web. The cache buster facilitates the distribution of changes after system updates and patches.

After installation or an update to Version 5.2.7, the cache buster registers the resources with the browser cache using a configurable version tag in the file /sap/bc/bsp/wmd/ui5_365/VersionInfo.json after manually invalidating the browser cache once.

The version tag is implicitly re-read each time the application is loaded. If changes have been made to the application, the value of the tag must be changed so that the URL of a resource is different from version stored in the cache.

The date of the last change of the system status is suitable for this purpose, as in the following:

{ 
"AppVersion" : "5.2.7.0-202111191000"
}

When this function is active, there is no need to empty the browser cache.

If problems arise with the cache buster format on customer systems, the format can be deactivated under /sap/bc/bsp/wmd/ui5_365/ in the index.html file .

Disabling the cache-buster format reverts to using the URL format.

<script type="text/javascript">
    sap.ui.getCore().attachInit(function () {
        /**
         * whether to use or neglect cache busting...
         * @type {boolean}
         */
        window.bUseCachebuster = true;
        sap.ui.require(['wmd/xfweb/CacheBuster'], function (CacheBuster){
            setTimeout(function () {
                sap.ui.require(['wmd/xfweb/Component'], function (Component){
                    var oComponentContainer = new sap.ui.core.ComponentContainer({
                        component: new Component('xfweb')
                    });
                    oComponentContainer.placeAt('xf5_body');
                });
            }, 0);
        });
    });
</script>

If window.bUseCachebuster is set to false via transaction SE80, the version tag in the URL of requested resources will be omitted.

The application of the cache buster is not based on a feature of the front-end server as is the case with SAP Fiori, for example.

Instead, xSuite Web 5.2.7 provides its own implementation and is therefore independent of the functionality of the server.

When displaying workflow documents, the Attachment area now highlights the name of the attachment that is currently selected.

The message displayed in the case of a failed login in xSuite Web has been adjusted.

For privacy and security reasons, the text of the message has been modified so that the reason for the failed login is not apparent.

The OpenUI5 framework on which the application is based has been updated from LTE Version 1.60 to LTE Version 1.84.

The referenced library jQueryUI has also been upgraded from Version 1.10 to Version 1.13.

Duration has been extended for system message display appearing after a feeder is created. The default value has been increased from 1.5 seconds to 5 seconds.

This allows the user more time to take the feeder number from the system message after having created a feeder.

If necessary, the value can be adjusted under /sap/bc/bsp/wmd/ui5_365 in the settings.js → xf5web.appMsgDisplayDurations → feederMsg file:

// displayDurations for App-Messages
// can be extended by further contextual settings as needed in customizations
// Use this to parametrize a plain object or the like context with property
// "_displayDuration" that is used as this-context via call or bind
xf5web.appMsgDisplayDurations = {
   feederMsg: 5000
};

In order to be able to optimize adaption of the behavior of the SAP back end to the different front ends of xSuite Cube, the query parameter xsuitefe with the value W for Web has been added to the service requests as of Version 5.2.7.
