Spaces are a new innovation

Recommendation is to have one space for each role

WYSIWYG for admins to set up the role

More flexibility with spaces

Only have frequently used apps on these pages, and for others, the users can search

Question & Answer

Q: Is Cloud Foundry the go forward?

A: for launchpad it is cloud foundry

Q: which version of S/4HANA is spaces available?

A: 2020 provided out of the box

1809 onward can use spaces/pages

Need to move to front end server

Q: Can Fiori apps used with Suite on HANA and if we migrate to S/4HANA can they be reused?

A: Most apps on suite on HANA don’t work with S/4HANA; need to check SAP Fiori reference library to see which apps work on both

Q: Integration with SAC with Fiori Launchpad?

A: S/4HANA has integration with SAC today – embedded

Going forward, have SAC embedded in SAP Cloud Platform Launchpad
