Add Navigation Manually to Integrate an SAPUI5 App Into a Launchpad Site

1. In your SAP Business Application Studio explorer, expand your app folder and then expand the webapp subfolder and select it.

2. Click the manifest.json file to open it.

   

Now you’ll add the intent navigation parameters to the sap.app descriptor in the manifest.json file.

1. Under the sap.app section of the manifest.json file, put your cursor on the line before the closing bracket of the sap.app section. In our example, we’ll put it after the closing bracket of the datasources section.

   

2. Add the intent descriptor as follows:

   • Add a comma after the closing bracket of the datasources section to add a new section.

     

   • Click enter to add a new row and then backspace to make sure you’re at the beginning of the newly added row.

   • Copy the following intent information (note the copy button on the right of this code).

                     "parameters": {},
                     "additionalParameters": "allowed"
                 },
                 "semanticObject": "Object",

                 "icon": "sap-icon://account"
             }
         }
     }
