Hi Omkar, Thanks for taking the time to blog your experiences! It's really important to share our knowledge with so many of us on similar journeys into SAP S/4HANA.
I suggest below a couple of recommended improvements to bring your approach up to best practice and some references to help you become an even better mentor to others.
How do you create a "custom action" ? Is there an SM30 view ?
You can create a custom technical catalog in /UI2/FLPAM.
Here you add the standard semantic object with a custom action in the app descriptor.
Then you can reference the tile from the custom technical catalog in your business catalog.
Custom actions are freely definable - you just type in the action name. There’s a dropdown on the action field in the Launchpad app manager to show you some common suggestions but you can just type in what you want into the field
Hi Jocelyn,
If we're doing an UI adaptation for standard app and configuring the new custom tile, how should that be mapped, standard semantic object or custom?
Hi Saumya Definitely use the same SAP Semantic Object as the original app and type in your own custom action name for the app variant. That’s the most effective option so that the app variant shows up in search results, list of links dialogs, related apps buttons etc just like the original.
