• Key Concepts: 
  RAP draft indicator is a feature of the BC-ESI-RAP RESTful ABAP Programming Model. It is used to indicate whether a request is in draft or published status. A request in draft status is not visible to other users, while a request in published status is visible to all users. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The RAP draft indicator can be used to control the visibility of requests. When creating a new request, the user can set the RAP draft indicator to either “draft” or “published”. If the indicator is set to “draft”, the request will only be visible to the user who created it. If the indicator is set to “published”, the request will be visible to all users. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a new request, it is best practice to set the RAP draft indicator to “draft” until you are ready for other users to view it. This will ensure that your request is not visible until you are ready for it to be seen.
