Intro

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

The new product home page is the entry point to apps, and also offers:

• Access to tasks and situations
• News feed
• Quick navigation to pages
• Analytical insights 
• SAP Business AI recommendations

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

The SAP S/4HANA product home page is based on SAP Fiori launchpad spaces and runs best with the Horizon theme, although it supports other SAP and custom themes. The SAP S/4HANA product home page has to be activated by a key user.
