Editors
Editors (views) are custom-defined forms displaying data contained in one instance of a business object type. An editor is launched whenever a business object needs to be edited or created.
In addition to the object's own data (displayed in so called ), an editor can also display data contained in a referenced object (displayed in so called ) or a collection of referenced objects (displayed in so called ). All the information is usually split into multiple groups displayed as either separate tabs (editor in Classic view) or expandable sections (editor in Section view).
