What is user interface building block in SAP (BC-WD - Web Dynpro)?

SAP Term: user interface building block

• Component: BC-WD

• Component Name: Web Dynpro

• Description: A configurable, pre-progammed unit for creating a user interface. These building blocks aim to increase consistency and streamline development. There are five classes of UI building blocks: Workspace floor plans Application floor plans Patterns Pattern elements Controls These classes form a hierarchy as each class provides the building blocks for the class above. For example, pattern elements combine to form patterns, and patterns combine to form floor plans. However, workplace floor plans and application floor plans are exceptions because application floor plans do not combine to form workplace floor plans; rather, they are launched from within workplace floor plans. Each class of UI building blocks corresponds to a certain generic level of a user's work. For example, a floor plan corresponds to an activity, a pattern corresponds to a task within that activity, and a pattern element corresponds to a task step. Specifically, a floor plan could support the activity of processing sales orders

• Key Concepts: 
  User interface building blocks are components of the SAP BC-WD Web Dynpro that allow users to create a user interface for their applications. These building blocks are used to create a graphical user interface (GUI) for the application, which can be used to interact with the application and access its features. The building blocks are made up of various elements such as buttons, text fields, check boxes, and other elements that can be used to create a user-friendly interface. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The user interface building blocks of the SAP BC-WD Web Dynpro can be used to create a GUI for an application. To do this, the user must first select the type of element they want to use from the list of available elements. Once the element is selected, it can be dragged and dropped onto the canvas where it can be customized according to the user’s needs. The user can then add additional elements and customize them as needed. Once all of the elements have been added and customized, the user can then save their work and use it in their application. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a user interface with the SAP BC-WD Web Dynpro, it is important to keep in mind that each element should be placed in an appropriate location on the canvas. This will ensure that all elements are easily accessible and that users can quickly find what they are looking for. Additionally, it is important to make sure that all elements are properly labeled so that users know what each element does.
