Additional Features in SAP Fiori Elements for OData V4

The Search field is enabled by default.

If the underlying entity doesn't support the search functionality, you can disable it by setting Searchable to false in the SearchRestriction annotation.

The following sample code shows how to disable the search functionality for the SalesOrder entity:

Sample Code:

XML Annotation

<Annotations Target="SAP__self.Container/SalesOrder">
   <Annotation Term="SAP__capabilities.SearchRestrictions">
      <Record>
         <PropertyValue Property="Searchable" Bool="false" />
      </Record>
   </Annotation>
</Annotations>

Sample Code:

ABAP CDS Annotation

@Search.searchable: false
annotate view ZC_SalesOrder with { };

Sample Code:

CAP CDS Annotation

annotate SalesOrder with @Capabilities: {SearchRestrictions: {Searchable: false}};
