The new SAP Fiori launchpad design for SAP Enterprise Portal offers an intuitive modern Fiori UI to portal users. Though it can be used to launch all types of iViews, it still seems especially suited for application portals providing a centralized access to applications from various backend systems. So, how can you best share unstructured corporate content like guidelines, process documents, product information, and others?
I think that the way that best fits the SAP Fiori launchpad look and feel is using SAP Mobile Documents.
I just published a detailed blog on how to setup and configure SAP Mobile Documents for usage with SAP Fiori launchpad .... There is just one step that is somehow missing in this blog: How to connect to KM repositories with Corporate content. So, let's just assume that Mobile Documents and Fiori launchpad (FLP) on EP have been set up, but you now would like to give all users (read) access to some unstructured content, e.g. corporate policies.
In this example, let's assume you would like to store those documents in the Portal Knowledge Management. Of course, you could also use other CMIS-compatible document repositories like a file share or a Microsoft SharePoint server, but since you are running SAP Enterprise Portal, KM might be a natural choice. Now, the first decision is whether you want to create a completely new repository in SAP KM Administration or just store your content in one subfolder of an existing repository.
To create a new repository:
In your portal, go to System Administration > System Configuration > Knowledge Management > Content Management > Repository Managers > CM Repository. Click Create to create a new CM repository. Here is an example how to fill in the form:
Click OK to save and activate the repository. Make sure that the file system folder that you entered for storing already exists on your server, otherwise the repository won't show up in your Knowledge Management area.
To assign the new repository as a Corporate Repository in SAP Mobile Documents, open the admin interface of Mobile Documents.
Now you can see the new repository in your SAP Mobile Documents tile in SAP Fiori launchpad.
