Context

The tiles and target mappings are visualized as tabs in the catalogs view. You can use these tabs for viewing, adding, removing, configuring, or copying tiles or target mappings. The table views for tiles and target mappings also allow you to sort and filter table entries in the columns. The tabs display the number of tiles or target mappings of the selected catalog.

You can choose the tile templates from the Universal Fiori Launchpad Catalog, /UI2/FLPD_CATALOG. The following are the standard tile templates stored in the Universal Fiori Launchpad Catalog:
  • Dynamic AppLauncher
  • Static AppLauncher

You can enhance the standard tile template list by adding a new tile template to the Universal Fiori Launchpad Catalog in the back end. For more information, see Assigning a CHIP to the Universal Fiori Launchpad Catalog.
