The launchpad
The Fiori launchpad is the entry point: a web page showing tiles for the apps relevant to your role, often grouped into pages and spaces. Instead of navigating a menu of thousands of transactions, you see just the apps you need, and can search across them.
App types
- Transactional apps: create/change business objects.
- Analytical apps: real-time KPIs and insights.
- Fact-sheet apps: view an object and drill into related data.
Navigating within and between apps
Fiori supports intent-based navigation, apps link to related apps (for example from an overview KPI into the detailed list), giving a connected flow. Search, favourites and recent activity help you get around quickly.
Personalisation
Users can personalise the launchpad, add favourites, arrange tiles, so their most-used apps are front and center. This role-based, personalised model is a core reason Fiori improves adoption over the classic menu.
Common pitfalls
- Expecting the GUI menu tree in Fiori, it is app-based.
- Missing tiles due to role/catalog gaps, not a Fiori "bug".
- Ignoring search and favourites that speed navigation.
