Static App Launcher Tiles

App launcher tiles are used to launch applications from the home page. This topic describes the parameters for configuring static app launcher tiles.

Note You can modify only the content of translatable parameters using the same logon language that was active when the catalog was created. For more information about translating customer-created tiles, refer to the related links below.

Table 1: General
Parameter	Description	Translatable
Title	Title to be displayed on the tile.	Yes
Subtitle	Subtitle to be displayed below the tile title.	Yes
Keywords	You can tag a tile with keywords so users can find it more easily using the search function in the tile catalog. If you want to specify several keywords, use either space or comma as separator.	Yes
Icon	Use the value help to select an icon. After you have selected an icon, the system inserts a URL starting with the `sap-icon://` protocol. These icons are based on SAPUI5 icon fonts. For more information, see Using Icon Font in SAPUI5.	No
Information	Text to be displayed at the bottom of the tile.	Yes

Table 2: Navigation
Parameter	Description
Use Semantic Object Navigation	Deactivate this checkbox if you want to define the navigation target using a simple URL rather than a semantic object.
Semantic Object	Semantic object to be referred when clicking the tile, for example `Order`. This semantic object must be defined in Customizing. For more information, see Creating Custom Semantic Objects.
Action	Operation that is intended to be performed on the semantic object when the user clicks on the tile, for example `display`.
Parameters	Key-value pairs defining parameters for the semantic object, for example `orderID=4711`. If you enter multiple parameters, separate them with an ampersand (`&`), for example `orderID=10000&custID=c82200`.
Target URL	You can enter any URL, for example `http://help.sap.com`. Note that you have to provide a complete URL including the protocol (typically `http://` or `https://`) Note If you choose to use semantic object navigation, the target URL will be automatically computed and inserted into this field.

Table 3: Tile Actions
Parameter	Description	Translatable
Menu Item	The name of the menu item that represents the action.	Yes
Target Type, Navigation Target, Action	The Target Type is one of the following: URL - In the Navigation Target column, enter the target URL for the action. In this case, the Action column is disabled. Intent - In the Navigation Target column, select the semantic object from the list. In this case, use the Action column to enter the action.	No
Icon	The icon to display next to the menu item.	No

Note To see tile actions in the launchpad, you must enable them in the launchpad configuration.

Tip Use the Add and Remove buttons at the bottom of the table to add and to remove actions.
