FT Applications¶

How it works¶

With the help of the application FT Applications, you can store the records of all your Fiori launchpad-enabled applications. The list of all apps stored in FT Applications serves as a directory of all applications in the project scope. Application records are kept as Specification records and referred to with an App ID. The records serve as a single point of truth for application information in your project (project's "SAP Fiori library"). A major benefit is having custom and extended app records in one central place.

Attributes of App Specification record¶

Fiori Tracker keeps the following attributes for an app entry:

Specifying SAP Fiori launchpad applications¶

To start working with Fiori Tracker, you need to specify all applications that you plan to enable in your SAP Fiori Launchpad. You do that with the FT Applications app. The app starts with the current list of all applications in your project scope.

With the “Add” function, you can add a new application entry:

The recorded details include:

• App ID – application prevents the creation of duplicates.
• Tile title – The title might be different from the official application name.
• Name – Contains the official application name.
• Area – You can choose a functional area. The area comes from the configurable list of areas specific to your project.
• Type – You can choose the type of application. The choice comes from the list of configurable types specific to your project. Fiori Tracker comes with predefined application types.
• Technical catalog, Semantic object, action, and flags indicating if the app can start directly and if it is a lighthouse app are optional. They either serve as additional information, or you can use them after installing optional Fiori Tracker suite components.

Mapping apps to a catalog¶

To maintain the mapping of an app choose Catalog Specification relation and Edit:

All marked catalogs get assigned to the app.

In the same way as for apps, the mapping function is available from an catalog perspective.
