Customizing Navigation Targets in LPD_CUST

You use Launchpad Customizing (transaction LPD_CUST) to change existing LPD_CUST entries for navigation targets and to define parameter mappings for applications.

Context

We recommend that you define the target applications to be launched from the SAP Fiori launchpad directly in the target mapping of the SAP Fiori launchpad designer.

You can, however, reuse existing LPD_CUST entries by referencing them in the target mapping configuration in the launchpad designer (application type SAP Fiori App using LPD_CUST). If you want to change any of these entries, you need to do that in transaction LPD_CUST.

Procedure

Start transaction LPD_CUST.
Open an existing launchpad, or create a new launchpad.
On the Change Launchpad Role screen, choose an application inside the launchpad or choose New Application.

Specify the necessary parameters depending on the application type:
