I'm now going to show you a little bit about Fiori,
just to make sure you know your way around the launchpad before
we start on the apps for reporting.
So here you have the Fiori Launchpad with various apps
grouped by role. On some of them, you can already see
some information.
To launch an app, you simply just click on the app
and then to get back to the home page, you click on the
little house.
The apps are generally grouped by role.
You can also put the most used apps in your My Home
Group or home page.
You can scroll down to look for different apps.
Or you can use the tabs at the top to get to a group.
You can also use the dropdown at the right-hand side to go
directly to a group.
When you first look in, you'll normally see
all the groups.
If you have a lot of roles assigned to you,
it may take some time to load when you first log in.
One way to speed this up is to change the settings so that only
your home page group loads initially.
To change the settings, click on the little person in
the top left of the screen.
It's sometimes called the Me button.
Click on "Settings", then "Home Page" and select show
one group at a time, then "Save" at the bottom.
If you now go back to the home page,
you will see that it only loads one group of apps at a time.
There are several ways to find an app.
I can, for example, use the search button
at the top right.
This allows me to search for an app by selecting first, apps,
and then scrolling down.
I can also use the same functionality to search for other
objects such as cost centers,
profit centers, journal entries, in fact,
anything in the dropdown.
Another way to find an app, especially if you want to save
it in a group for future use, is to click on the Me button at
the top left and select App Finder.
On the left-hand side, you can see a list of catalogs
containing related apps.
If you know the catalog your app is in,
you can scroll straight to it.
If you don't know the catalog, you can search by name in the app
search at the top right,
for example, for trial balance.
Having found the app that I want, I can either launch it from here,
or if I want to copy it to my home page or a group of my own,
I can click on the drawing pin
in the bottom right of the app and tick the groups I want
it to appear in.
I can also create my own group by entering the group name
at the top here.
Here I'll save it to my home page.
Now when I go back to my home page,
you can see that the Trial Balance app has been added here.
I can switch the order of the apps directly,
or I can go back to the Me area and click on "Edit Home Page".
This has more options to reorganize and remove apps and
create and move groups.
When you finish, you can click on the clothes at
the bottom right take you back to the home page.
Also in the Me area,
under settings, I can change the color scheme such
as light or dark blue or black.
I can also enter some default values to save time when running
transactions or reports.
Here, I've saved the controlling area,
but there are a number of other options such as company code,
plant, sales, or purchasing organization,
and so on.
I can then save or cancel with the button at the bottom right.
