Part 2 and 3 consists of various videos and how-guides to achieve different tasks for a key user.
1. Create Extension fields
Here’s a short video on how to create an extension field. There example here is to create a field of list type on the account screen.

2. Property Rules
2.1 Create Rule
This video shows how to create a rule in Fiori Client. A rule is a business logic that can be assigned to a screen element property like visibility or mandatory or read-only. The video shows an example to make fields read-only when the status of opportunity is "Stopped".

2.2 Assign to Field Property
In this video you can check how to assign a rule to a field property and do a quick test while you are in the adaptation mode.

Note: If a rule got assigned in HTML5 it will be shown correctly in the adaptation side panel in Fiori. But if removing this rule assignment by using the (X) icon does not work correctly, then you can delete the change transaction. You can follow the steps shown in the 'Delete Change Transaction' video published in the part 3 of this blog series. The type of changes from HTML5 is “AddCondition” while in Fiori it is “AddPostCondition”. By that, you can easily differentiate already in the list of changes.
3. Create Validations
3.1 Create a rule and assign to Validation
This video explain how you can create a rule and use it a validation. The example here is to check if either email or a phone is provided in the contact details and if not the save would fail with an error.

3.2 Deactivate validation
Next you can check how to deactivate the validation, so it does not apply anymore.

Note: The rules and validation you create are at the UI component level. Hence unlike HTML5 client, you need to navigate to the UI component level and then create the rule and/or validations. The rules are reusable with the UI component it's been created in. This means you can assign the same rule to properties of multiple fields on the same screen.
4. Create and Assign Page Layouts
This video shows how to create new page layouts and assign the page layouts to user's role. The page layouts are rendered based on the user's role as well as certain field values on transactions. The case here is showing simple and cleaner screens while the opportunity is in certain stage, and as the stage increases more fields and tabs appear - some of those fields are mandatory fields.

This is the end of part 2 of the blog. In the part 3, there are more such videos and how-to for other capabilities of adaption in Fiori client.
