A widget represents a specific element in the user interface (e.g. checkbox, button or login screen, etc).
To customize a widget, click on the Widgets tile in the Simplifier dashboard and choose the Widgets tab.
Within the overview, you can edit, take a look at the details, delete or copy a widget or take a look at the description, category, tags, and set it to deprecated or not.
Press the ‘+’ button on the right to add a new one.
Add a name and select the OpenUI5 version from System Libraries.
By clicking OK you will be forwarded to the Widget Customizer. On the left side are three different tabs: General, Template and Script.
General
| In the tab General, you find the general information like Name, Version, Category, and Description. You can add tags or set the widget to deprecated.
Deprecated widgets are no longer displayed in the UI Designer. Deprecated widgets that were used before they were marked as deprecated are still displayed within the application content. The application will continue to be saved and deployed without issues or warnings and runs as before.
Add an icon to the widget by uploading it. You can delete it at any time.
