With SAPUI5 1.75, we introduced SAP Fiori launchpad spaces in parallel to the launchpad home page. Users can switch between the two with the user actions menu.

A space and its pages structure the most relevant apps for users with a certain business role. The content of a space is visualized by tiles that allow users to quickly launch apps to access the business content they need to complete their tasks.

Users can personalize the pages by renaming sections, adding and removing apps, or bundling them in groups.

SAP Fiori launchpad spaces must be used for all SAP Fiori apps.

Top-Level Navigation

The top-level navigation is part of a space. It gives users access to all spaces and pages that they are assigned to, and enables users to navigate between them. An entry in the top-level navigation indicates a space. By selecting a space, users can access the page belonging to the space.

Spaces

A space serves as an entry point for a business role and shows information and functions that are assigned to this business role. A space is represented as a navigation item in the top-level navigation. A user may have multiple spaces assigned, which results in multiple entries in the top-level navigation. A space consists of exactly one page.

A space title is mandatory. Do not use the business role name as a space title.  Use the name of the work area for a business role instead.

Pages

A page is part of a space. A page consists of sections that are used to further structure the content.

Sections

A section structures the content of a page semantically. A section consists of tiles that visualize the content of a space.

A section title is optional.

Tiles

The content of a space is visualized by tiles. Tiles allow users to quickly access business applications to complete their tasks. Different tile types are available.

Behavior and Interaction

Users can personalize their spaces in a variety of ways. Tiles can be rearranged directly, but most actions require the user to activate the edit mode (for example, rearranging groups or customizing tiles).

To switch to edit mode, the user needs to open the user actions menu and select Edit Current Page.

To close [or quit] the edit mode and return to the normal space view, the user clicks Close in the footer toolbar.

Switching Between Spaces and Home Page

Users can switch between the launchpad home page and launchpad spaces with the user actions menu. To enable or disable spaces, they click Settings and then Spaces. The launchpad then reloads.

General Actions
