Step 1: Creating a Sematic Object

Use the t-code: /UI2/SEMOBJ to add the FSM Connector Semantic Object. Semantic Objects allows to group apps that are related to each other for easier navigation.

Semantic Object: PACG_ECM_FIORI

Semantic Object Name: FSM Connector

Semantic Object Description: FSM Connector Apps

Save the changes.

Step 2: Creating a Business Catalog

Use the t-code: /UI2/FLPD_CUST to Enter the SAP Fiori Launchpad designer for customization (client-specific) and create a new catalog by clicking on the ‘+’ icon at the bottom of the left-hand side pane.
