Self-Services Homepage 
Purpose
The Self-Services Homepage enables you to create overview pages, which allow your employees to access the self-service applications (services) with greater ease. The overview pages are displayed in the portal. These pages group and describe the individual services and contain hyperlinks with which your employees can start the services.
The Self-Services Homepage recognizes two types of overview pages:
Area group pages are often referred to as homepages.
You can make numerous settings to tailor the overview pages delivered as standard to suit your own requirements or create your own overview pages.

You can implement the Self-Services Homepage with various business packages. For example, the Business Package for Employee Self-Service (mySAP ERP) and the Business Package for Manager Self-Service (mySAP ERP).
