Getting Started with SAP Fiori Course

Lesson 1 • Fiori Design Principles and Philosophy

Covers the five core Fiori design principles: role-based, adaptive, simple, coherent, and delightful. Connects design intent to real-world user productivity outcomes.

Lesson 2 • SAP Fiori App Types Overview

Introduces transactional, analytical, and fact-sheet app categories. Helps students match business scenarios to the correct Fiori app type.

Lesson 3 • What Is SAP Fiori

Defines SAP Fiori as a design system and app portfolio built on UX principles. Establishes the conceptual baseline for all subsequent technical and design topics.

Lesson 1 • Launchpad Accessibility Features

Covers keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and high-contrast themes. Ensures students can support diverse user needs within the Launchpad.

Lesson 2 • Launchpad Architecture and Components

Explains the structural elements of the Fiori Launchpad including the shell bar, home page, and groups. Provides the mental model needed for all navigation tasks.

Lesson 3 • Working with Tiles and Groups

Covers static, dynamic, and KPI tiles and how they surface app entry points. Students learn to organise tiles into groups for efficient daily workflows.

Lesson 4 • Personalising the Launchpad

Teaches user-level personalisation including theme selection, language settings, and layout adjustments. Reinforces the role-based design principle introduced in Chapter 1.

Lesson 1 • List Report Floorplan

Covers the list report pattern for displaying and filtering large data sets. Students learn when and how to apply this floorplan in business scenarios.

Lesson 2 • What Are Fiori Elements

Defines Fiori Elements as a metadata-driven UI framework reducing custom coding. Connects the framework to the broader Fiori design system introduced earlier.

Lesson 3 • Analytical List Page Floorplan

Covers the analytical list page combining charts and tables for data exploration. Extends students' floorplan knowledge into analytical app scenarios.

Lesson 4 • Worklist and Overview Page Floorplans

Introduces the worklist for task-oriented lists and the overview page for aggregated insights. Students match each floorplan to appropriate use cases.

Lesson 1 • SAPUI5 Architecture and MVC Pattern

Explains the Model-View-Controller pattern as implemented in SAPUI5. Gives students the structural framework for all subsequent coding tasks.

Lesson 2 • Building Views with XML

Covers XML view syntax, control hierarchy, and namespace declarations. Students create structured UI layouts that conform to Fiori design standards.

Lesson 3 • Debugging and Testing SAPUI5 Apps

Introduces browser developer tools, UI5 diagnostics, and QUnit testing basics. Students identify and resolve common runtime errors in Fiori apps.

Lesson 4 • Data Binding in SAPUI5

Covers property, aggregation, and expression binding using JSON and OData models. Students display and update backend data within Fiori app views.

Lesson 1 • Configuring OData in the App Manifest

Teaches how to declare data sources and models in the manifest.json file. Students connect their SAPUI5 app to a live OData service endpoint.

Lesson 2 • OData Protocol Fundamentals

Explains OData v2 and v4 concepts including entities, entity sets, and service documents. Provides the data layer foundation required for all Fiori app connectivity.

Lesson 3 • OData Filtering, Sorting, and Paging

Explains query options including filter, orderby, top, and skip parameters. Students optimise data retrieval for performance in list-based Fiori apps.

Lesson 4 • CRUD Operations via OData

Covers create, read, update, and delete operations using the OData model API. Students implement full data lifecycle management within Fiori apps.

Lesson 1 • Launchpad Performance and Monitoring

Covers performance tuning options, caching settings, and usage analytics. Students maintain a responsive and well-monitored Launchpad environment.

Lesson 2 • Target Mapping and Navigation

Explains semantic objects, actions, and intent-based navigation configuration. Students enable cross-app navigation flows within the Launchpad.

Lesson 3 • Configuring Groups and Roles

Teaches group creation, tile assignment, and role-based access control integration. Students control which apps appear for specific user roles.

Lesson 4 • Launchpad Designer Overview

Introduces the Launchpad Designer tool for creating and managing catalogues and groups. Establishes the admin workflow that complements the end-user navigation skills from Chapter 2.

Lesson 1 • Controller Extensions and Custom Logic

Explains controller extension hooks for injecting custom JavaScript logic. Students add business-specific behaviour to standard Fiori apps safely.

Lesson 2 • SAP Fiori Adaptation Projects

Introduces adaptation projects in SAP Business Application Studio for UI-level changes. Students modify standard apps while preserving upgrade safety.

Lesson 3 • Adding Custom Fields and Sections

Teaches adding custom fields to standard Fiori apps using extensibility tools. Students extend data capture without altering standard app code.

Lesson 4 • Managing and Transporting Extensions

Covers packaging, transporting, and versioning Fiori extensions across system landscapes. Students maintain extension lifecycle from development to production.

Lesson 1 • Deploying to the Fiori Launchpad

Teaches deploying the app to ABAP repository or BTP, registering it in the Launchpad, and assigning roles. Students complete the full delivery lifecycle of a Fiori app.

Lesson 2 • Setting Up the Development Environment

Teaches configuring SAP Business Application Studio, project templates, and Git integration. Students establish a productive and version-controlled development workspace.

Lesson 3 • Planning and Designing the App

Covers requirements gathering, floorplan selection, and wireframing for a custom Fiori app. Students translate business needs into a concrete UI design plan.

Lesson 4 • Testing the Custom App

Covers unit testing, integration testing, and user acceptance testing for the custom app. Students validate functionality, performance, and accessibility before deployment.
