Configure a Fiori Application tile

The Fiori Application tile type is available as a beta feature. As the tooling continues to develop, you may notice updates and improvements over time.

Known issues:

  • Fiori apps built with Fiori Elements do not work as Fiori Application tiles.

  • Apps, such as My Inbox, may not work as Fiori Application tiles.

  • Apps that may run in desktop user launchpad experiences may not run in mobile clients.

  • The behavior may change depending on the Fiori version.

A Fiori Application tile opens a standard SAP Fiori app inside the Neptune DXP user launchpad experience, so users reach their SAP Fiori apps and their Neptune apps from one launchpad without switching tools. The tile runs the app as it is on the SAP system, without importing or changing it. In this topic, you configure a tile for this by setting the tile’s action type to Fiori Application.

This action type supports standard SAPUI5 apps.

Prerequisites

  • Your SAP system runs an Neptune DXP - SAP Edition instance on version Neptune DXP - SAP Edition 25.0 or later. The Fiori application search help is available only on 25.0 or later.

  • Your SAP system has the Fiori Launchpad (FLP) and UI5 ABAP Repository (UI5_UI5) services active.

  • The users that are supposed to use these tiles have the appropriate Fiori roles in SAP.

  • You have created, or are editing, a tile in the Tile tool.

Procedure

  1. Open the tile you want to configure in the Tile tool, or create a new one.

  2. Under Action, select Type to Fiori Application (Beta).

  3. In Application Name, open the value help. This opens a dialog that retrieves the list of Fiori apps available on the system.

  4. Select the Fiori app you want the tile to open. The Application Name field is filled in with the app’s name.

  5. If the selected Fiori app has a semantic object and action configured, the tile’s Semantic Object and Action fields, under Navigation, are filled in automatically.

  6. Save the tile.

Results

  • The tile now opens the selected SAP Fiori app directly in the user launchpad experience when a user selects it.

Troubleshooting

If a Fiori app returns an error when a user opens the tile, the cause is often the user’s configuration on the SAP system, for example a missing authorization for an ICF service. Check the user’s SAP-side setup for the app.

If an app does not display as expected, submit a support ticket to Neptune Support. During the beta development phase of the functionality, these reports help extend support to more Fiori apps.

Next steps

  • Assign the tile to a Tile Group, so it appears on the user launchpad experience.

  • Assign the appropriate roles to the tile so the intended users can see and open it.
