Add app-specific settings per app in the launchpad

[Former Member]

Hey

The SAP Fiori guidlines (https://experience.sap.com/fiori-design/concept/services/ and https://experience.sap.com/fiori-design/concept/shell-bar/https://experience.sap.com/fiori-design/concept/services/)  state the following:

"Settings (apps only): Each app can provide app-specific settings to the launchpad."

"If you implement the API for the settings service, a Settings entry appears in the Options menu on the shell bar"

"You need to design the settings dialog for your app yourself"

So for an app where you want specific settings to be available one can create a specific dialog, but how do you connect it to the launchpad? How will the launchpad know to open that dialog?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I found an app in SAP's demo launcpad that had app specific settings and then eventually found this line that enabled me to add my own app specific settings dialog:

sap.ushell.services.AppConfiguration.addApplicationSettingsButtons([button]);
