Automation

With this feature, you can store your own automation entries in TheFlex settings. For each entry, you configure whether it is a script (JavaScript) or a CSS style. These are then automatically injected into defined target websites—no code changes required on the web application itself.

You can use this to add new features, adapt the layout for specific hardware, automate actions like logins, or make recurring tasks easier. You decide whether an entry is a script (for functional or logical automation) or CSS (for design and appearance only).

Hint

Flexus can provide you with a set of ready-to-use automations/scripts or CSS examples. Of course, you can always create and configure your own entries.

To limit when an entry is executed, you can define a target URL with a * (wildcard). You don't need to enter the full URL; wildcards are allowed.

Examples:
If the URL "https://theflexbrowser.com/hello/world" is opened:

Caution

Always check carefully which automations/scripts you configure, as they will have full access to all website data and user input on matching pages.

Application Examples

More examples and an editor for creating automations are available in the Developer Automation Guide.

Optimize SAP EWM RFUI for mobile devices

Especially in the SAP Public Cloud, the EWM RFUI dialogs are often hard to adjust and not made for small screens. With automation, buttons can be set to full-width, font sizes and input fields can be enlarged for better usability.

Adapt ITS dialogs for scanner/mobile usage

Old ITS mobile dialogs are rarely attractive or easy to use on modern devices. With automation (script or CSS), you can enhance usability and layout—no backend knowledge required.

Fiori or ITS Mobile login via scan

Typing usernames or passwords can be error-prone and slow. With automations, when opening the login page, you can automatically show a dialog for NFC or QR code scanning.

This means access data just needs to be saved as a QR code or on an NFC tag—users can log in without typing. Forgetting login info is no longer possible.

This works not just with SAP Fiori and ITS Mobile, but with almost any login page (e.g., also Microsoft login).

Hint

SAP Fiori and ITS Mobile are shown as examples. This approach works for nearly any login page.
