The SAP Fiori launchpad home page is the first page that users see after they have signed in. It is the main entry point to SAP Fiori apps on mobile and desktop devices.

The launchpad home page displays tiles and links that allow the user to launch apps, and may also show additional information. The page can be personalized and apps can be added, removed, or bundled in groups.

The SAP Fiori launchpad home page must be used for all SAP Fiori apps.

Responsiveness

Components

Modifying the Home Page in Tab Bar Mode

Users can personalize the home page in tab bar mode by choosing Edit Home Page in the user actions menu.

In addition, they can use Short Drop and Long Drop functions to move apps from one tab to another.

Long Drop

Drag any app onto another tab and keep it there for a short while. The selected tab opens, and you can position the app where you want it.

Note: The focus switches from the current tab to the selected tab. A message toast confirms that the app was moved.

Behavior and Interaction

Users can personalize their home page in a variety of ways. Tiles can be rearranged directly, but most actions require the user to activate the edit mode. For example, edit mode needs to be active to rearrange groups or customize tiles.

To enable more enhanced personalization functions, the user needs to open the user actions menu, and then select Edit Home Page.

To quit personalization, the user selects Done in the footer toolbar.

Tile and Link Actions

Generic Actions

(via Edit Home Page only)

When Edit Home Page is activated and the user clicks a tile, an action sheet appears showing a list of generic actions:

• Settings opens a dialog in which the user can change the information that is displayed on a tile, such as the title or description.
• Move opens a dialog in which the user can move the selected tile to a different group.
• Convert to Link transforms a tile into a link, while Convert to Tile transforms a link into a tile.

Tile designers can also add further generic actions.

Remove

(via Edit Home Page only)

Users can remove tiles and links with the Remove icon .

Add

Users can add apps with the Add icon ( ), either from an empty group in edit mode, or by selecting App Finder in the user actions menu.

Move

Users can rearrange tiles and links by dragging them to a new location in the same group, or by dragging them to a different group.

Open

Clicking a tile or link opens the underlying app or content item.

Group Actions

Via Edit Home Page, users can customize groups to their needs:

Adding Groups

Users can add a new group by clicking the + Add Group button. The user will be prompted to enter a new group name. If the user doesn’t immediately enter a name, the placeholder text Enter group name will appear as the default name. Once the group is created, it will appear below + Add Group on the launchpad home page.

Moving Groups

The user can rearrange a group by dragging it to a new location in the group panel.

Renaming Groups

Users can rename groups by clicking a group name. A text box appears in which the user can enter the new name, which is then saved automatically. To discard a change while the text box is visible, the user must press Escape.

Deleting Groups

Users can delete groups they have created (including all the tiles they contain) by pressing Delete. Note that predefined groups, such as My Home, or locked groups (as defined by customers) cannot be deleted.

Resetting Groups

By clicking Reset, a user can reset a predefined group to its initial state as defined by an administrator.
