Mobile Start

SAP Mobile Start surfaces your abap2UI5 apps as tiles in SAP's native mobile entry-point app (iOS/Android). No extra abap2UI5 development is needed — Mobile Start mirrors the content of your SAP Build Work Zone site.

Setup

  1. Complete the BTP Build Work Zone setup: destination to your ABAP system, deployed connector app, and the app added as Work Zone content.
  2. Enable SAP Mobile Start for your Work Zone site (Site Settings) and connect the Mobile Start app on the device to the site — typically by scanning the QR code from the site's settings page.
  3. Every abap2UI5 tile that is assigned to the user's role in Work Zone automatically appears in Mobile Start; tapping it opens the app in the mobile shell, rendered by the same ABAP backend.

Since abap2UI5 views are responsive UI5 controls, most apps work on phones as they are — check layouts with narrow screens in mind (see the Device Model page for adapting views to the device).
