Fiori & UX

What is SAP Fiori Elements?

Predefined floorplans, such as list report and object page, that generate Fiori UIs from OData metadata and annotations.

Fiori elements apps require little frontend code because layout is driven by CDS annotations. Behavior is consistent across apps, which helps test automation. Changes in annotations can shift fields and break scripts.
