Performing Searches in a Launchpad

Procedure

You can perform searches covering all launchpads within a client. This is useful when adding applications to a new or existing launchpad.

To do this, proceed as follows:

  1. You must first initialize a search; run the report APB_LPD_UPDATE_SEARCH_TABLE.

    This report analyzes all launchpads in a system and client, and displays the information in a search table.

  2. On the SAP Easy Access screen, enter the transaction LPD_CUST in the command field.

  3. Locate and open a launchpad or choose New Launchpad to create a new one.

    On the Change Launchpad Role screen, choose Search.

    You are provided with a list containing all applications of all launchpads in the current client. You can now perform searches throughout the whole list and select the appropriate applications or launchpads.

  4. Choose OK.

    The selected application is displayed in the navigation area next to the launchpad you have already opened. You can drag the items that you searched for into the launchpad that you opened at the start of this procedure.
