SAP Fiori UX stands for Fiori User Experience of SAP S/4 HANA environment for end users. The term UI is different from UX in the manner that UI stands for user interface which defines the interface between the user and the device. User Experience tries to create a positive experience for the user.

SAP Fiori Launchpad is a role-based UI client to access Fiori apps side by side. SAP Fiori Launchpad contains two types of user interface clients - Enterprise Portal and NetWeaver Business Client. UI Theme Designer can be used for customization of Fiori Launchpad.

SAP Fiori Application consists of three types of apps −

  • Transactional Apps
  • Analytical Apps
  • Fact Sheets

Transactional Apps

Transactional Apps run best on SAP HANA database but can be deployed with any database with acceptable performance. These apps allow the user to run simple SAP transactions on the mobile devices as well as desktop or laptops.

Fact Sheets

Fact sheets are used to drill the key information and contextual information in business operations. In SAP Fiori tiles, you can drill down to further details.

Fact sheets also allow you to navigate to Transactional apps to run SAP transactions. A few fact sheets also provide an integration option of geographical maps.

Fact sheets only run on SAP HANA database and require an ABAP stack. They cannot be ported to SAP HANA Live tier-2 architecture.

Analytical Apps

Analytical apps are used to provide role-based real-time information about the business operations. Analytical apps integrate the power of SAP HANA with SAP business suite. It provides real-time information from large volume of data in front-end web browser.

Using analytical apps, you can closely monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). You can perform complex aggregations and calculations of your business operations and react immediately as per the changes in the market condition.

SAP Fiori Analytical apps run on SAP HANA database and use virtual data models.
