Create A New Welcome Card

An organization wants to share a welcome message to a new employee. Upon successful authentication in the SAP Mobile Cards app, the new employee sees a welcome card. In this card, the organization shows basic details to help the employee have a great first day. This card is available to the user without the user having to subscribe to the card.

Welcome Cards are Server Managed Cards that are automatically subscribed. When such a card is created, users automatically get instances of the card because they are automatically subscribed to the card.

SAP Mobile Cards can be created in multiple ways. In this tutorial, you will create a card using SAP Cloud Platform Boosters.

SAP Cloud Platform Boosters are sets of guided interactive steps which help you achieve specific goals.

In your web browser, open the SAP Cloud Platform trial cockpit.

Navigate to the trial global account by clicking Enter Your Trial Account.

In the side navigation bar, click Boosters.

Click the Build a Micro App for SAP Mobile Cards tile.

Go through the details mentioned and click Start.

In the Check Prerequisites tab of the wizard, click Next.

In the Select Subaccount tab of the wizard, select the following and click Next.

If your Mobile Card Kit status is not Available please complete the previous tutorial in this mission.

In the Select Cards tab of the wizard, select the Sample Template Welcome Card and click Next.

In the Configure Cards tab of the wizard, enter the name as following and click Next.

In the Review tab of the wizard, review the details you’ve entered and click Finish.

Upon successful creation you will see a success message; click Close and proceed to the next step.

Log into SAP Cloud Platform Mobile Services cockpit and navigate to SAP Mobile Cards to look into the Mobile Cards configuration.

In the SAP Cloud Platform Mobile Services Cockpit, you will now see the Booster Welcome Card we have created.

Make sure you are choosing the right device platform tab ( Android or iOS ) above.

Welcome cards are auto subscribed by default and downloaded automatically after registration.

You should see the Welcome Card created using SAP Cloud Platform Booster for SAP Mobile Cards.
