How to add custom text to launchpad page

[former_member664650]

Hello,

In the context of a multi-tenant cloud application whose frontend is built using plain UI5, is there an acceptable (and easy) way to display the tenant name in the launchpad?

In my research I've encountered the solution of building a custom plugin for the launchpad, but some of the information seemed outdated (how to build them using Web IDE) and some information seemed to indicate that these custom plugins should not be used in a production environment (nor would they work with a custom approuter).

Any insights, hints or recommendations?

Much appreciated,

Anca

Hello Anca,

Regarding the Plugins, you can read through the following help article, which will give you a deeper insight and which also includes an example that you can try to implement: Developing Plug-Ins - SAP Help Portal

Using the Standard SAP Fiori Launchpad, this seems to be the best solution at the moment.

Another possibility, which works but is far from being an ideal solution, would be the implementation of a custom launchpad, provided by a standalone UI5 App, which would be opened by the users, instead of opening the SAP Fiori Default Launchpad. You can find an example here: Developed Custom FIORI Launch Pad with Tiles Using SAP UI5 application | SAP Blogs

Kind Regards
Marco
