What is the Fiori Launchpad?
The Fiori launchpad is the entry point to Fiori apps on mobile or desktop devices. The launchpad displays various tiles with each tile representing a different business application.
What is SAP Fiori Overview Pages?
The Overview Pages show the user the current status of a specific domain or role the user is interested in while aggregating and simplifying dashboards and news into one Fiori experience page. The Overview Page displays various cards that are relevant to the domain and role of the user. Additional content, such as image, list, table, chart, etc. is displayed in the card’s content area. The card allows the user to take immediate actions such as approve purchase order without launching the app. The card can also be used to launch an application similar to Fiori Launchpad or in a specific context, for example the list item that was clicked.
What is SAP Fiori Cloud?
SAP Fiori Cloud offers a simple implementation of the SAP Fiori user experience (UX) through cloud services running on SAP Cloud Platform. Customers can run apps and launchpad in the cloud while consuming business data securely from their on-premise SAP Business Suite or SAP S/4HANA in a hybrid architecture. Here, the front-end UI layer is delivered to the customer as a cloud service subscription in his account. It is delivered with selected apps across lines of business covering the most common self-service scenarios.
Can you customise SAP Fiori UI?
