Behavior and Interaction

To maintain consistency across all SAP products, the entry point for the profile and settings is located on the right side in the top app bar. It’s recommended to place the user profile on the home screen only.

Adaptive Design

In expanded window sizes, the list pane includes the profile header, with navigation options for settings and app information below it.


The detail pane displays details corresponding to the navigation target selected in the left pane. For example, units of measurement, permissions, and notification preferences can be maintained under the navigation target “App Preferences”.
