Adding the OData Select Parameter

OData supports the select parameter, allowing you to specify a list of properties that are required by the application. This prevents unnecessary properties from being returned by the OData request.

The select parameter is not added automatically to the OData request in list cards and table cards, as it can impact navigation behavior. However, in some cases where Smart Business OData services are used, the select parameter might be necessary to display aggregated values to the user. In such cases, you must set the addODataSelect property in the manifest.json file for the relevant card.

Sample Code:

manifest.json

"sap.ovp": {
    "globalFilterModel": "salesOrder",
    "globalFilterEntitySet": "GlobalFilters",
    "cards": {
      "card00": {
        "model": "salesOrder",
        "template": "sap.ovp.cards.v4.list",
        "settings": {     
          "entitySet": "SalesOrderSet",
          "category": "Sales Orders with filters",
          "listType": "extended",
          "addODataSelect": true
        }
      }
    }
}
