• Key Concepts: 
  A placeholder is a special type of field in SAP ByDesign Studio that allows users to store and display data from other sources. Placeholders can be used to display data from external sources, such as databases, web services, or other applications. Placeholders can also be used to store data from internal sources, such as SAP ByDesign Studio itself. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP ByDesign Studio, placeholders are created by selecting the “Placeholder” option from the “Fields” tab. Once a placeholder is created, it can be populated with data from an external source by selecting the “Data Source” option from the “Data Sources” tab. The data source can be selected from a list of available sources or manually entered. Once the data source is selected, the placeholder will be populated with the corresponding data. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a placeholder in SAP ByDesign Studio, it is important to ensure that the placeholder is properly configured to display the desired data. This includes setting the correct data type and formatting options for the placeholder. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the placeholder is properly linked to its corresponding data source.
