For more information about how to activate the ICF service, see <>.
Front-End Server: Enable App for Access in SAP Fiori Launchpad
The SAP Fiori launchpad is the entry point to SAP Fiori apps. In the launchpad, the user can see and access
those Fiori apps that have been assigned by an administrator to the catalog designed for this user's role.
The administrator makes these assignments in the launchpad designer. For more information, see <>.
SAP delivers technical catalogs for groups of SAP Fiori apps as repositories to create your own catalogs in the
launchpad designer. Along with these catalogs, more technical content is delivered for each SAP Fiori app.
You can find the delivered technical content for each SAP Fiori app in the SAP Fiori apps reference library.
Prerequisites for Implementation
Before implementing the My Inbox application, ensure the following:
1.
Make sure that you have at least one workflow in the back-end system(s) that defines the task types to be
used for My Inbox. Ensure that all the authorizations required for the workflows are maintained.
2.
Make sure that the required SAP Notes are implemented.
3.
Configure the connections between the Gateway system and your back-end system(s) from which you
want to retrieve the work items.
