My Home

My Home in SAP S/4HANA is built from sections that users can show, hide and reorder in the My Home Settings dialog:

• To-Dos: tasks and situations that need the user's attention.
• News: user-relevant news, which administrators can configure.
• Pages: shortcuts to the pages of the user's spaces.
• Apps: favorite apps, recently used and most used items, plus recommendations based on the user's roles.
• Insights Tiles: dynamic tiles for monitoring key figures.
• Insights Cards: analytical, list and table cards created from SAP Fiori apps.

A purchaser at Alder Manufacturing might keep open purchase requisition approvals in To-Dos, Manage Purchase Orders under favorites and a card of overdue deliveries from Cedar Office Supply in Insights. Users can reset the page to the administrator's defaults and export or import their personalization to a file. My Home is therefore a personal summary layer above the apps a user's roles already grant.

The name covers two related things, which explains much of the confusion in practice:

In both on-premise variants, users can import apps from their classic home page. A system on an older SAP S/4HANA release can therefore show a plain "My Home" page without to-dos or cards, which is the generic space rather than a missing configuration. Knowing which My Home a system runs is the first step before promising features to users.

SAP documents the following activation for SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS01 and later, with all SAP Fiori components on that release:

1. In SE80, check that the BSP application in package UX_ENG_S4PRODUCTHOME is active, and activate it if not.
2. Activate the related ICF services in SICF.
3. Recalculate the SAPUI5 application index for the PRODUCT_HOMES1 repository.
4. Set the launchpad parameters: SPACES and SPACES_MYHOME to true, SPACES_CUSTOM_HOME to true, SPACES_CUSTOM_HOME_COMPONENT_ID to ux.eng.s4producthomes1, and UI5_INSIGHTS to true for the insights service. SAP's activation page names the cross-client transaction /UI2/FLP_SYS_CONF, while the My Home overview refers to client-specific settings, which are maintained in /UI2/FLP_CUS_CONF; follow your system's launchpad configuration convention.

If users still see the plain My Home space, SPACES_CUSTOM_HOME or the component ID is usually missing; if the insights sections are empty, UI5_INSIGHTS is the first parameter to check. In Public Edition, SAP enables My Home and no activation is needed. Activating My Home is a front-end configuration task, not a role change.

Insights cards are not built in a separate tool. Users create them from apps they already use:

• In SAP Fiori elements list reports, Add Card to Insights in the table toolbar turns the current table view into a card.
• In analytical list pages, the same option appears in the chart toolbar.
• In overview pages, analytical, list and table cards offer Add Card to Insights in their header actions.

The option appears automatically once My Home and the insights service are enabled. Developers can hide it per app through manifest settings, and some column types, such as images or custom columns, cannot be carried into a card. Each card starts from the table or chart view the user had open in the source app. Insights cards make My Home a personal dashboard assembled from existing SAP Fiori apps.
