An Identification Section can be added if UI.Identification
annotation isn’t yet defined for the page entity or not referenced in UI.Facets
annotation.
More than one identification section can't be added for a page. Identification sections cannot be added as subsections. Actions cannot be added to the identification section. Header or Footer actions can be added instead.
To add an Identification section, perform the following steps:
-
Click the Object/Form Entry Page to open the Page Editor.
-
Navigate to the section node in the outline and click the ➕ (Add) icon.
As a result, a dropdown menu displaying the supported section types appears.
-

A pop-up window Add Identification Section appears with a field to provide a label for the section to be added.
-
Enter a title to the Label field and click Add.
A new section tab appears in the application preview of the form and object page.
As a result a
UI.Identification
annotation with no qualifier is generated and referenced in theUI.Facets
annotation. IfUI.Identification
already exists, a new one is not generated, but the existing one is referenced inUI.Facets
.
You can prepare the section label for translation.
