Configure general settings of a Live Application tile

In this topic, you learn how to add and configure a tile with the type Live Application.

Prerequisites

In the Cockpit, go to Administration and click Tile.

Result: The table of existing tiles opens.
Click Add.

Result: The Create Tile dialog opens.
Enter a title for your tile.
Click Create Tile.

Result: The tile is created and its settings open in the Settings tab.

Select Live Application as a Type for your tile.

A Live Application renders as a sub-element inside the tile content area. The application you assign must be implemented accordingly:

The top-level control in the application hierarchy must not be a sap.m.Shell or any other control typically used as a full-page container in a standard Neptune application.
The recommended best practice is to use sap.m.FlexBox as the top-level control and define a static height on it. This ensures the application renders correctly within the constrained dimensions of the tile.

Select the application you want to run and enter any required start parameters.
In the Information section, provide general information about your tile. The details entered here are displayed on the tile in the launchpad.
In the Tile in menus section, you can set an alternative title for your tile that is shown in menus, and optionally hide the tile from menus entirely.
In the Visibility section, you can restrict the tile from being displayed on specific device types.
In the Hide Launchpad Header section, you can suppress the launchpad header on specific device types.
Select Save.
