UI Hints

UI Hints are tags and elements that allow dynamic generation of formatted UI Maps. For example, UI Hints can be used as an alternative to manually creating maintenance and display UI Maps for business objects, thereby reducing the amount of time and technical expertise needed for creating those objects. UI Hints can also be added to the schemas on business services, service scripts, data areas, and UI maps. If you develop a BO using UI Hints, you should use them for the other configuration tool schemas for the BO, such as the data areas, UI map fragments, and display service scripts.

Additional information, including a list of working business objects that use UI Hints, is available in the context sensitive “Tips” zone on the schema pages for the above configuration tools.
