The month leading up to SAP TechEd is often a busy, but exciting one. There are sessions to research, agendas to build, and plenty of meetings to schedule. If you’re considering attending sessions on SAP Fiori elements, the following blog is here to get you up to speed — what’s new with SAP Fiori elements, as well as a few session recommendations for SAP TechEd Las Vegas 2019.

What's new in SAP Fiori elements


The most recent updates to SAP Fiori elements, as part of SAPUI5 1.67 and 1.68, are focused on expanding the SAP Fiori user experience and improving usability for developers and end users. Here are five features you can look forward to in the most recent version of SAP Fiori elements:

Simplified overview page card creation




Developers can now add additional cards to overview pages using the SAP UI5 visual editor, provided the data sources are part of the app. This accelerates the process of creating additional functionality for apps based around this page type.

Improved navigation for subobjects




Users can now navigate between subobjects using the arrows at the top right of the page, rather than returning to the previous object page and selecting a new subobject. This delivers a better experience by allowing end users to stay focused on the topic at hand, rather than worrying about navigation.

Greater consistency for page headers




Avatar support has been expanded for three more page types: Object pages, analytical list pages, and overview pages. This helps to create a consistent look and feel across your headers and ensures a coherent user experience for the people using your applications.

Localized message handling


As part of making SAP Fiori apps more accessible, SAP Fiori elements will now display available back-end messages rather than standard success messages when they available. This allows for further localization and can make your applications more accessible to a wider variety of users.

Improved table experience for object pages


Object pages are capable of displaying a wide variety of content. Now, when developers add a section containing a table, the table will expand to fill all the available space in the section. This helps to mitigate the amount of scrolling required to navigate the table, improving the experience for end users.
