In this tutorial you are going to add a URL app to the Launchpad page.

When you open the JobCore Portal site, you see that the Pages editor is in focus.

Click the Content icon in the left panel.

By default, the content item of a site only contains the Everyone role.

Click New and select App from the list:

The App editor opens on the PROPERTIES tab.

Enter the following values:

Click the NAVIGATION tab.

Here you need to specify the intent of your app, which includes a semantic object and the action you want to perform on this object.

Enter the following values:

• Semantic Object: Careers

• Action: Display

Click the VISUALIZATION tab.

In this tab, you specify how the app will be displayed in the launchpad.

You have now created a URL app for your site.

Before you can see the app in the launchpad you need to:

• Add a group and assign your app to it

• Assign a role to the app that is assigned to you. We will use the Everyone role.

This is described in the following steps.

3. In the Results list, click + to assign this group to your app.

   

4. Click Save.

In this step you’ll assign the Everyone role to your app.

Content assigned to the Everyone role is visible to all users.

1. In the Content Manager, click the Everyone role.

2. Click Edit.

3. In the Role editor, in the Assignments panel, type Ca to search for your app.

4. In the Results list, click + to assign this role to your app:

   

5. Click Save.

At the top right of your screen, click the Go to site icon:

The Home page opens. Navigate to the Launchpad page by clicking My Apps. This is what you’ll see:

You can now launch your application by clicking the Careers at SAP tile.

Congratulations! You’ve created and added your first app to the Launchpad page in your Portal site!
