Scenario: To give you an example, let us consider a Catalog you have created contains multiple Fiori apps with one or two apps belonging to a different Catalog, To be even precise, let's assume you create “Catalog A” with “Approve Leave Request” and “Team Services” apps. Problem identification: HR or operations manager who predominantly approve leave requests will need access to this Catalog, but the other app “Team Services” is considered to be of no use to this particular user. Here's how launchpad designer can help you shift the “Team Services “app from “Catalog A” to another Catalog named “Catalog B” Solutio 1, Just drag the app tile, you will see two options like “Copy” and “Delete”. 2. Drop the selected app to copy, it will open up a dialog box listing the other catalogs available within your launchpad, 3. Choose the catalog where you want to place and save it. ORDER REPLACEMENT ORDER Alternatively, if you wish to delete the app from the Fiori Launchpad, you may choose to delete instead of copy. htpilcn sap.camicommirtyferfsog/2016108117a tech uide-o-help-you-corfigure-catalogs-groune- and iee-using-sap-fr-launch-pad-designe-too! ansc016 ‘Atech guide to help you configure catalogs, f..

Each Fiori app has a specific use case and has to be mapped to one intent, Intents are semantic objects and actions put together to navigate seamlessly to respective Fiori UIS apps as specified in the semantic objects. There are pre-defined semantic objects by SAP, however you can also choose to create custom semantic objects in SAP GUI Here’s how you can configure Target Mapping for SAP Fiori Launchpad Designer Step 4(i): Click on the “Create Target Mapping” button which navigates you to the screen shown below htpilscn sap comicommurityfirfbog/20 1608117 tach uide-o-help- you configure-catalogs-orcuns- and les-using-sap-for-launch-pa-designe-too 87sc016 ‘Atech guide to help you configure catalogs, f..
