Latest Additions

2023-02 Learning journey available

Introduction

This learning journey is based on the customer course UX100 (SAP Fiori – Foundation). The course structure was reworked to provide a clear path following the learning goals of each unit. Plenty of animations and interactions support the digital learning experience inviting you to interact with the material.

Every lesson provides at least one exercise showing steps in a written form. Some can be performed directly by using some public resource like the SAP Fiori apps reference library, but most exercises are based on SAP S/4HANA 2021 FPS02 or SAP Business Technology Platform. In addition to the written form, these exercises provide a simulation of the steps in an SAP Learning system.

The units in the current version are the following:

1. End-User Perspective
2. Technology
3. Architecture
4. Content Management

When you complete the whole learning journey, you get a record of achievement.
