Adding and Removing Apps

You can add apps to any of the unlocked groups in your home page, or to new groups that you create.

Prerequisites

The ability to personalize the home page must be enabled in the launchpad configuration. For more information, see Launchpad Configuration Parameters.

Context

The App Finder is a convenient tool for finding SAP Fiori, SAP GUI, and Web Dynpro ABAP apps all in one place. Access the App Finder from the user options menu, find apps, and add them to your home page. Find SAP Fiori apps under the Catalog tab, and the SAP GUI and Web Dynpro ABAP apps in the SAP Menu and User Menu tabs. These two menus are also known as the SAP Easy Access Menu. To launch the App Finder:

To add apps to more than one group: Open the Options menu and select Open App Finder.
To add apps to a single group: Enter personalization mode and click or tap the tile in that group.

Note
Enter personalization mode from the Options menu, or by selecting the (Personalize home page) button at the bottom right of the screen.

In the App Finder, each app displays one of the following icons:

(Add tile to groups) - Indicates that the app has not yet been added to a group.
(Add tile to additional groups) - Indicates that the app is already assigned to at least one group.

Note You cannot add tiles to locked groups.

Adding and Removing Apps Using the Catalog

Context

The App Finder opens in the Catalog tab. Apps are sorted into catalogs, so you can either browse all the catalogs, or use the filter to find apps from a specific catalog. You can also use the search bar to find apps by their titles and keywords.

Procedure

In the tile catalog, locate the tile that you want to add to or remove from your homepage.
Click or tap the icon below the tile.
- If you opened the App Finder from within a group, that tile is added to the group or removed from it.
- If you opened the App Finder from the Options menu, in the Add Tile to Groups dialog box, select the groups to which to add the app. To remove an app from a group, deselect the group. You can also create a new group to which the app is added.

Adding and Removing Apps Using the SAP Easy Access Menu

Context

In the App Finder, click on either SAP Menu or User Menu. Each tab displays different apps, as configured by your administrator. The procedure described below is the same for both menus.

For more information, see Enabling SAP Easy Access Menu for the Launchpad

Note

When adding apps to your home page using the Easy Access menu, the (Add tile to additional groups) icon indicates that an app is already included in the home page, but there is no indication of which group it's in.

Procedure

If your administrator has configured more than one systen, when you open the Easy Access menu the first time, select the system from which to add apps to your homepage.

You can always select a different system by clicking Filtered by <system name> in the navigation pane.
In the navigation pane, you see the folders available in the selected system. Navigate to the folder from which you want to add apps.
Click or tap the icon below the app.
- If you opened the App Finder from within a group, that app is added to the group.
  Note
  The (Add tile to additional groups) icon indicates that this app appears in your home page in any group, not necessarily the one from which the plus button was clicked.
- If you opened the App Finder from the Options menu, in the Add Tile to Groups dialog box, select the group to which to add the app. Repeat the process to add the app to another group. You can also create a new group to which the app is added.
