In addition to mandatory parameters, you can also define the following optional parameters for an application in a launchpad.

Note that not all of the following parameters are available for all application types.

On the Change Launchpad Role screen, choose an application and choose the Show Advanced Parameters button to display the following advanced (optional) parameters:

  • Application Cannot be Removed from the Launchpad

    Select this parameter if you want to prohibit the user from removing this application.

    Refers only to the Stand-Alone launchpad type at runtime.

  • Application-Related Parameters

    • Application Alias

      A string that is used to identify an application in the Floorplan Manager (FPM) environment.

    • Target Application Parameters

      Parameters that are forwarded to the application.

      You can add the parameter(s) by choosing either the Parameter Mapping button (if visible) or the standard editor button.

      For information on parameter mapping for the individual application types, see the system documentation.

    • Icon Path

    • Additional Information

      For key value pairs, for example, key1=value1&key2=value2&...

      The string is not interpreted by the launchpad itself; it only forwards it to various feeder classes and BAdIs. It is also available in the FPM IF_FPM_NAVIGATION interface (table mt_targets-add_info_params).

  • Entries Following Start of Application

    • Without Predefinition

      Personalization data is not forwarded automatically to the application.
