Shell Bar

When end users launch apps from the SAP Fiori launchpad, the apps run within a shell. The shell bar is the outer frame of the SAP Fiori launchpad.

The shell bar contains header and footer areas with various buttons, icons, and a logo (either an SAP logo or a customized logo).

What will I see in the header bar?

Icon	Name	Description
	Me Area launcher	Opens the Me Area. Note This icon is replaced with your profile image if SAP Jam integration is enabled and if you have a photo defined in the SAP Jam landscape. See: Me Area
	Back	Navigates from an app back to the previous screen where you were working.
	Home	Displays the launchpad home page with the apps that you can launch. See: Home Page
	Company logo	Displays the default SAP logo that you can replace with your own logo using the UI theme designer.
	Search	Opens a global search user interface for finding apps and objects. See: Searching for Business Objects and Apps

Note

The icons described in the table above may change depending on where you are working in the launchpad.

For example, when you are navigating in the launchpad, the shell header displays the logo, search, and Me Area launch icons. When you are navigating in an app, the shell header changes to display the app name, the home icon and a back button. You can also create your own customized buttons in the shell header.

What will I see in the footer bar?

Within the context of an app, an  (actions) icon opens a menu with the following default actions:

Action	Description
	Enables you to initiate a discussion in the SAP Jam system when SAP Jam is part of the landscape.
	Enables you to share the application with an SAP Jam group when SAP Jam is part of the landscape.
	Saves the app as a tile to the selected group in the home page.

Note Custom actions can also be added to the footer bar.
