SAP S/4HANA Product Home Page – My Home

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Intro

The SAP S/4HANA product home page is an alternative to the SAP Fiori My Home page when using SAP S/4HANA Cloud. Whereas the previously available SAP Fiori My Home page is the entry point to a personalized set of apps, presented as tiles or links, the SAP S/4HANA product home page orchestrates much more information.

Besides being the entry point to apps, the new product home page offers:

  • Access to tasks and situations
  • Quick navigation to pages
  • Analytical insights 

In addition, users benefit from enhanced personalization features for content and layout.

Information
Be aware that the SAP S/4HANA product home page is also labeled My Home on the interface but should not be confused with the previous SAP Fiori My Home.

The SAP S/4HANA My Home page is based on launchpad spaces and runs best with the Horizon theme, although it also supports other SAP and custom themes. The page must be activated by a key user.
