Configuration Steps

Create a Tile Catalog in gateway via Fiori Designer

  • Login to the Fiori Launchpad Designer via this link:

<server host>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/arsrvc_upb_admn/main.html?sap-client=<client>&sap-language=EN
Log in using your SAP Gateway account.
On successful login, you should be able to see the list of catalogs in the gateway.

  • Ensure that you are in the Catalog section by pressing "Catalogs" tab on the upper left-hand side:

  • Create a new Tile Catalog by pressing the + button on the lower left-hand part of the screen:

  • On the pop-up screen, select "Standard" and provide a Title and ID. The ID needs to start with Z* and press Save.


A new catalog will be created.


  • You have now created a Tile Catalog

Create a Tile in the Tile Catalog

  • While the new catalog is selected on the right-hand side, click on the + sign to add a tile. A list of tile template will show:

  • Click on the "App Launcher – Static" tile. You should then see the configuration screen for a tile.

  • Configure the following parameters:
    • Title: <Your app title>
    • Subtitle: <Your app subtitle>
    • Keywords: <some keywords for your app>
    • Icon: <Select from the drop-down or refer to Icon Explorer site>
    • Information: <Additional information for your app>
    • Use semantic object navigation: Unticked. By default, this field is ticked. When this is unticked, it will enable the Target URL field.
    • Target URL: <FAB app URL without the hostname e.g. /sap/bc/bsp/iqx/fab_bsp/index.html#/StartForm/CAPEX_DEMO2/_newForm>
    • Click the "Save" button at the bottom of the page:

  • You have now created a tile in Fiori Launchpad.

  • Click Save.

As a user, add the new tile into own Fiori Launchpad

  • Login to Fiori Launchpad as one of the users assigned with the new role.
  • When in the Fiori Launchpad, click on the username on the upper right-hand side of the screen and select "Tile Catalog".

  • Locate the new tile from the list of assigned tiles.
