Personalizing the Home PageLocate this document in the navigation structure

End users can adapt and change their launchpad home page according to the way they work.

Note The ability to personalize the home page is enabled by your administrator. For more information, see Launchpad Configuration Parameters.
When you first open the launchpad, you will see a default group called My Home which is provided by SAP, as well as other predefined groups that may have been configured by your administrator. You can also create new groups, and manage existing groups.
Note The My Home group is only displayed if it contains tiles – if it's empty, it can only be seen in edit mode.
Note Administrators can lock predefined groups to prevent personalization. Locked groups are displayed above the My Home group and cannot be edited.
What can I change in the home page?
