   When you open your site, you’ll see the Home page in focus. By default, your SAP Build Work Zone, advanced edition site is preconfigured with a shell with different content and features. You can configure your own site and add content to it.

   

SAP Build Work Zone, advanced edition includes the following menu items:

 

Home - displays information that is relevant to everyone in the company who has access to the site.

 

My Workspace - a personal workspace. All users can create their own workspace. This workspace can be used as a favorite page for frequently used content and applications.

 

Applications - provides access to all business apps that the logged on user can access and that are configured for display.

 

Workspaces - a central place for you to create workspaces. These workspaces can become available to any group of company users and to external users.

 

Tools - provides access to different tools like company knowledge base, calendar, and more.

 

In the next steps, you’ll learn how to design the Home page of the company Velotics.

The Page Designer tool is used to edit the Home page and also to edit any other workpages in your site.

You can use the Page Designer to add, move, resize, align, configure widgets, and modify the overall layout of your page. As you design a workpage, your work is automatically saved so that you don’t lose your changes prior to publishing or saving as a draft.

1. With the Home page in focus, select the Switch page view icon on the left side of the screen.

   

2. In the dialog box that opens, click Company.

   

3. Click + to add a page tab.

   

4. Name the page tab Home and click Create.

   

The Page Designer is now active and you can use it to design your Home page.
