SAP Fiori Apps

SAP Fiori apps are platform-independent web apps, built with SAPUI5 for mobile and desktop devices. They run in the SAP Fiori launchpad, the back end connects by using OData services. SAP Fiori apps apply the SAP Fiori user experience design principles (role-based, adaptive, simple, coherent, and delightful).

SAP Fiori apps are available for different lines of business, industries, and SAP products. They are available for on premise or cloud deployments and different SAP roles.

SAP Fiori apps, which are released for mobile devices, can be consumed using a mobile browser, using SAP Fiori Client, or as packaged apps using the HCP mobile service for SAP Fiori.

The front-end components of SAP Fiori apps are deployed on SAP Fiori front-end server and support the principles of enterprise lifecycle management. SAP Fiori apps allow to create modification-free extensions for predefined extensibility use cases.

Organized by user roles, the SAP Fiori launchpad is the central entry hub to all SAP Fiori apps, where users access apps via tiles. Within the launchpad, there are services for navigation, personalization, single sign-on, and search. You can use the search in the SAP Fiori launchpad to search for business objects and for apps. The launchpad and the tiles are flexible and can be adapted to your needs.

In addition to SAP Fiori apps using SAPUI5 as the UI technology, there are classic applications using different UI technologies, such as Web Dynpro or SAP GUI. These classic applications do not fulfill all of the criteria of SAP Fiori apps. They can be called from the SAP Fiori launchpad and must be configured specifically.
