Table Personalization for Non smart SAP UI5 Tables

[Abhi9]

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone had issues making the following controls work when deployed to ABAP repository .

It is either giving errors by not saving as variants for the following control.

https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/sdk/#/entity/sap.m.p13n.Engine/sample/sap.m.sample.p13n.Engine

And while trying this control it works perfectly but it couldn't hold the saved variants after browser hard refresh.

https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/sdk/#/entity/sap.ui.mdc/sample/sap.ui.mdc.demokit.sample.TableFilte....

I tried these controls directly by downloading it from SDK and deploying it using $TMP package.

Any suggestions on how to make the Personalization Engine work for Non Smart UI Tables ?

I saw this blog https://blogs.sap.com/2023/09/21/sapui5-table-with-smartvariantmanagement-2/ but wondering why standard UI5 controls are not working as expected.

Thanks,

Abhinay

Automatically saving/applying the app state is a smart control feature. Using p13n or other non-smart control lets you have the full control including how the app state is saved on the backend and then retrieved.

Unless you require really custom things, I suggest you to use SmartTable and SmartFilterBar.

So basically

SmartTable - No additional coding required to save and retrieve variants.

p13n/ Personalization Engine - Coding is required to save and retrieve variants.
