Launchpad Content Checks Locate this document in the navigation structure

This report is available to check the consistency of delivered and customized content created for use with SAP Fiori launchpad.

The report Fiori Launchpad Checks (transaction /UI2/FLC) provides an overview of all existing content in a given area based on development packages and exposes consistency errors in these packages. It allows you to check to which authorization role the content is assigned and if a given user is assigned to this role. You can filter for content assigned to a given user.

The data retrieved by the report can be used for troubleshooting as well as for data analysis and monitoring.

Troubleshooting

Correct issues with translated launchpad texts

An end user of the launchpad has reported an issue with a translated text in a custom tile, catalog, or group title. You can use Fiori Launchpad Checks to easily find the relevant text in the translation system and correct it.

See Translating Tiles, Catalogs, and Groups.

Data Analysis and Monitoring

You want to analyze launchpad content and improve the content lifecycle.

For example, you can analyze the following questions:
  • Are the naming conventions for catalogs, groups and tiles applied consistently?
  • Are the settings for device types applied correctly?

  • Are there any tiles or target mappings which are not used in roles?

    If yes, you should either enhance the roles or delete the tiles and target mappings that are no longer required.
  • How many catalogs are available for each product area?

  • Which applications are used as navigation targets in a given launchpad?

    For example, how many Web Dynpro ABAP applications are referenced as opposed to SAPUI5 applications?

  • Which application types are referenced from a given catalog?

The content check report retrieves the following types of information:
