2. Click the Provider Manager icon to view any available content providers.

   The HTML5 Apps content provider is created automatically. Any app that you deploy to SAP BTP is automatically added as content to this provider.

The HTML5 Apps content provider should now expose any newly deployed app for integration.

1. Click the Content Manager icon in the side panel to open the Content Manager.

   

   The Content Manager has two tabs: My Content where you can manually configure content items and view any other available content items, and the Content Explorer where you can explore exposed content from available content providers, select the content, and add it to your own content.

2. Click the Content Explorer tab to explore content from the available content providers.

5. Click the My Content tab.

   

   Note that your Suppliers app is in the list of content items.

In this step, you’ll create a new group and assign the Suppliers app to it.

A group is a set of one or more apps displayed together in a launchpad site. Assigning apps to groups, makes them visible to the user.

2. Enter Our Suppliers as the Title.

4. Next to the Suppliers app, click the + icon to assign your app to this group.

   

   You’ll see that the icon changes.

5. Click Save.

   

In this step, you’ll assign the Suppliers app to the Everyone role. This is a default role - content assigned to the Everyone role is visible to all users.

2. Click the Everyone role to open the role editor.

   

3. Click Edit.

   

4. Click the search box in the Assignments panel on the right. Any available apps are shown in the list below.
