Creating a ProjectLocate this document in the navigation structure

You use SAP Web IDE to create an SAP Fiori app containing a list report and object pages.

As an app developer, you must define a configuration in the SAP Web IDE. The main aspects are the destinations to the back-end metadata, navigation between pages, and page design (as pages may contain several templates).

The following figure shows the application in SAP Web IDE that starts the wizard to create a new project:
