Creating & Extending Fact Sheet Apps

You hand a fact sheet extension to a functional consultant who can't write code. Which editor, and will they be limited to a subset of fields?

You need an embedded map the fact sheet editor can't add. You can edit the delivered annotation file directly or write an XSLT alongside the untouched original. Which survives an SAP upgrade, and why?

A Fiori UI developer offers to extend a fact sheet's search model in the search and analytics modeler. Why is that the wrong person for the job?

A user reports a fact sheet field is invisible on their phone but their colleague sees it on a desktop. Before touching the model, what Field Priority value explains this?

You're adding a Risk Category attribute to a search model. What's the easy-to-skip first step before Request Attributes, and what does the system auto-generate afterward?

In a standard fact sheet extension project, which of the three files do you actually edit for the extension, and which one only configures preview?

Which three design sections of a fact sheet can be extended, and what does each carry?

Existing vs Modification Free fact sheet templates: in which one does the delivered annotation file stay untouched, and why does that matter on the next release?

The fact sheet wizard finished but the sheet is empty. What do you open, what do you do to populate it, and how do you preview without deploying?

A field you want is in the Gateway layer but not on the fact sheet UI. Do you extend the search model or the UI layer — and what's the tell?

When extending a fact sheet's UI layer, what does the 'manual' route actually mean if you skip SAP Web IDE?

You've copied annotation XML from the project's _ANNO.XML into the delivered app's BSP in SE80. What's the step people forget that leaves the change inert?

In the fact sheet editor, you can set the number of fractional digits on one of {key fact, facet} but not the other. Which one, and what does the other configure instead?

You open ESH_MODELER to change a delivered search model and it won't let you edit it. What prerequisite object is missing, and how is it created?

A colleague says a fact sheet app is 'just a BSP app with annotations.' What back-end piece are they leaving out, and why does it change how you extend it?

Which SAP Note gives the complete list of search models and connectors for all Fiori fact sheet apps?

In the search and analytics modeler, how much does the workflow differ between creating a new model and extending an existing one?

Your new connector sits in status PREPARED and search returns nothing for it. What does PREPARED actually mean, and what makes it searchable?

Existing vs New Fact Sheet Application templates: you want to base your app on a delivered Sales Order fact sheet. Which template, and what does the other one assume?

In a modification-free fact sheet project, which file do you edit for your design changes — and why must you NOT touch Original.xsl?

You enhanced a search-model field but it shows in the search details view and not on the fact sheet. Which setting controls each surface?

Search works, but SAPScript longtexts and authority data never appear in results. Which two connectors were left unindexed, and what's the fix?

The fact sheet editor is nowhere to be found in SAP Web IDE. Before assuming a licensing or destination problem, what's the most common cause and the fix?

After creating your customer software component for search models, why include the SAP standard component (e.g. SAPAPPLH) — and what happens to name collisions?

Where do you look up the BSP application name and annotation file of a delivered fact sheet you want to extend?

Your custom fact sheet app is deployed but no user can launch it. Which two wiring steps beyond the back-end role are usually missing?

SAP Web IDE lists no fact sheet apps available for extension at all. Which destination property is the usual culprit?

An enhanced search model's connector-creation runs as a background job. What's the job-name pattern and where do you monitor it?

What's the job-name pattern for connector indexing, and which status sequence does the connector show while it runs?

You deployed a custom fact sheet to the SAPUI5 ABAP repository. What two back-end objects now exist, and in which transactions do you confirm each?

Fact sheet development spans three tools. If someone only knows SAP Web IDE, which two back-end tools are they missing — and what does each own?
