Introduction : The SAP Fiori Master Detail Application from Template can be a good help where a lot of code and configuration is auto generated but the wizard sends beginners into a tail spin as it is not crystal clear which input in the wizard will lead to what output.
Target audience : Beginners and experts alike.

High level overview of the process
The most important steps are Data Connection and Template Customization. In Data Connection you specify a service to use for your application and in Template Customization you specify the fields to be used and where they will show up in the running application.
Step 1 : Create project from template
Step 2 : Template selection
Developer chooses the SAP Fiori Master-Detail Application template here.
Step 3 : Basic Information
Developer mentions the preferred project name and if this project is going to be a mobile application
Step 4 : Data Connection
Developer in this step specifies the service source.
| Sources | Description |
|---|---|
| Service Catalog |
Select SAP Gateway system and OData service. |
| Workspace | Select local service from SAP WebIDE workspace |
| File System | Upload the service information from a local file system |
| Service URL | Copy your SAP Gateway service URL without host information. You need to create Destinations to use this option. |
For this example lets chose “Service URL” for an sample ES4 service. You will have to create a destination for the same details of which are explained in the following document :
An insight into Destinations for Northwind / ES4 services for use with SAP HCP / Web IDE
I am using the following OData Service :
https://sapes4.sapdevcenter.com/sap/opu/odata/IWBEP/GWSAMPLE_BASIC/?sap-ds-debug=true
This service is free to use but needs a one time registration but authentication every time you use it. The above links will help you through the process.
Step 5 : Template Customization
Application Settings
Data Binding – Object
Data Binding – Line Item
Step 6 : Confirmation
STEP 7 : Enjoy the results
Conclusion :
Its interesting to note that this given combination of template customization settings works like a charm but I tried to change the fields other than given here and it failed with an error. I have not tried to trouble shoot it yet, remains in my TODO list.
