Hi Girish,
According to the note below, Integration with Easy Access Menu is available in BTP Neo but not CF environment.

Thanks for the response Jessie Xu
It's helpful.
hello,
we configured the SAP Easy Access Menu for Fiori Launchpad and now we have access to all transactions (TACs) of user menu and sap menu.
BUT we do not see any web dynpros (WDA) assigned to users. only transactions. What could be the problem?
best regards,
Lars
Hi Lars,
If you are using role-based option in Chapter 4 of the white paper, you may double check if the target mapping Shell-startWDA was configured correctly as documented in the white paper. Please also note the name of the target mapping Shell-startWDA is case sensitive, means "shell-startWDA" or "Shell-StartWDA" will not work.
Hi Jessie,
we did it correct, and we also tried the other option (not role based, where no target mapping is needed). TACs are working, WDA are not shown.
best regards,
Lars
hi Lars, I will suggest you to create a case/incident to SAP Support team for further analysis.
Hello,
thanks for the how-to-guide.
The SAP Easy Access Menu can currently only be reached via the button profile- app finder and the additional button user menu.
Unfortunately, this is not very user-friendly. So, is it possible to include the SAP Easy Access Menu as a tile on the flp start page?
Regards,
Arnold
hi Arnold, we don't have a standard tile like this but you can create a tile by yourself and put the link of the SAP Easy Access Menu page into the tile navigation.
Hi Jessie,
thanks for your answer.
Meanwhile I found the following SAP Note 2786421 - Fiori Launchpad Tile to launch Backend transaction SMEN no longer works. - SAP ONE Support Launchpad which it doesn't allow to use SMEN in a tile.
Regards,
Arnold
hi Arnold, yes that's correct while that note 2786421is for creating tile & target mapping for application type: Transaction
Seems it is not relevant to the question you asked earlier.
If you want to create a tile which directly opens the SAP Menu / User Menu page in App Finder, I think you can create a tile with a link of the SAP Menu page, you don't have to use intent based navigation as it just serves as a hyper link.
Hi Ali Chalhoub
thanks for the whitepaper.
Is it possible to also launch custom T-codes from the SAP Easy Access Menu within the App Finder?
I couldn't find any custom T-Codes.
Best regards
hi Ridvan, are you able to see those custom t-codes on the SAP Menu / User Menu after you log on SAP GUI?
If those t-codes are available there they should be displayed in the SAP Menu / User Menu on Fiori Launchpad App Finder as well.
