Fiori launchpad — Which interface do you need?
- Fiori launchpad
- Use the launchpad to find the applications assigned to your role. The tiles and links you see depend on the system and your authorisations.
- SAP GUI for HTML
- Choose this browser route when your exercise uses a supported classic transaction. The screen follows the transaction’s workflow, even when you opened it from a tile.
- Desktop SAP GUI
- Some exercises or tools require the desktop client. Follow the connection route in your material and the setup guide supplied with your account.
Compare the entry points
| Route | What it is | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Fiori launchpad | An entry point to assigned applications | The actual app, role and release |
| SAP GUI for HTML | Classic transactions in a browser | Browser support and permitted transaction |
| Desktop SAP GUI | An installed front-end client | Client setup and the supplied system connection |
Try the route your exercise actually uses
Identify the task
Write down the app name or transaction code from your exercise, plus the required SAP release.
Open the supplied connection
Use the customer portal’s guide and your SAP credentials. Your portal login and your SAP login serve different purposes.
Follow one document
Open a permitted sample document. Check whether the app lets you display, change or create the object your exercise needs.
Compare the result
Record the document number and status. A different screen layout is acceptable only if it supports the required task.
If something differs
A tile is missing
Check the exact app name, release and assigned role. Send those details to support; switching browsers will not add an unavailable app.
The screen differs from your course
Check whether the course uses Public Edition, a different release or desktop SAP GUI before repeating its instructions.
