SAP_PEOPLE (Employee Self-Service role) in their personalization object key HRPAO_SEARCH_CATEGORY_GROUP.
Depending on the relationship the user has with the employee, the following further options are available in the
Quickview of the expanded lane:
If the user is the manager of the employee in results list, the Manager Self-Service menu is displayed.
If the user selects himself or herself in the results list, the Employee Self-Service menu is displayed.
If the user has no relationship with the employee in results list, no further options are available.
You can also use the search eld (OpenSearch) to access the functions of the expanded Search lane.
Prerequisites
You are familiar with the con guration of the search and have made your own settings as required. For more information, see
Search Con guration.
You used the personalization of the landing page to select the Search lane.
Features
The Search lane initially has a central search eld. After a search operation has been started, the system calls the expanded
Search lane. The screen areas of the expanded Search lane provide the following functions:
4/15/2019
Graphic 1: Overview of Search Options in the Expanded Search Lane
To start a search operation, in the Search lane, enter a search term in the central search eld of the Search lane
(without graphic).
For the search, the system uses the search category that you de ned as a cross-search-category in the search
con guration. If no cross-search-category has been de ned in the search category group that is relevant for you,
the system uses the rst search category.
If you enter more than one search term (separated by a blank space), the system automatically uses the logical
operator AND. In this case, the system searches for objects that contain all search terms.
If you use the logical operator OR to connect the search terms (<search term> OR <search term>), the system
searches for objects that contain at least one of the search terms.
The system searches for objects that are valid on the current date.
The system then calls the expanded Search lane (see graphic).
The system displays the hits (the result objects) using your search criteria in the results list. Per default, a
quickview is displayed for the rst result object.
Based on the Customizing con guration for a search category, you can launch an application by clicking on a
result object name.
When the IT0105 (Communication, subtype User) is maintained for the logged-in user, the action menu for the
result object is available in the following instances:
When the result object (employee) is the logged-in user who is assigned to an Employee Self-Service role
(employee look-up scenario):
4/15/2019
In this case, he or she can display as action menu the launchpad for actions (con gured with transaction
LPD_CUST) that is speci ed in the role’s personalization object key HRESS_ACTIONS_LPD.
When the result object (employee) reports to the logged-in user who is assigned to a Manager Self-
Service role:
In this case, he or she can display the launchpad for actions (con gured with transaction LPD_CUST) that
is speci ed in the role’s personalization object key HRMSS_ACTIONS_LPD as an action menu.
Note
If the result object (employee) is not reporting to the manager, no actions are displayed in the action
menu for the employee.
When the logged-in user is assigned to an HR Professional role:
In this case, he or she can display the launchpad for actions (con gured with transaction LPD_CUST)
speci ed in the role’s personalization object key HRPAO_ACTIONS_LPD as an action menu.
You do not have to maintain a record of the IT0105 Communication, subtype User for logged-in users
assigned to the HR Professional role.
Note
If the user is assigned to several roles, for example to an HR professional and a Manager Self-Service
composite role, and both have launchpads for actions speci ed in their respective personalization
object keys, the actions of both the HR professional and the manager roles are grouped and rendered
in one action menu for the result object.
When you click on one of the search result objects, a quickview is displayed for this object showing more detailed
information.
You can run a new search query as required. You have the following functions available in addition to the search
eld:
You can use the available lter to restrict the number of hits displayed in the results list. You de ne the
lter range in the search con guration. If a lter is applied, the quickview is displayed per default for the
rst result object determined by the ltered search.
You can select a search category (object type) in which the system searches for the search term. You can
also search in all categories at the same time. In the search con guration, you de ne the elds in which
the system searches for the entered search terms for each search category.
You can use the Advanced Search Criteria function to de ne in which selection period the system is to
search for objects. If you select an object from the result list that is not valid on the current date, or
objects that existed in the past, the system displays the data for the last day of the object validity period
on the object pro le page. For future objects, the system displays the data for the rst day of the object
validity period.

You use this application to display the employee self-service menu maintained in the Launchpad repository. This application
allows an easy and quick access to the ESS applications. The My Services lane displays the most frequently used services and
the services that the user has marked as Favorites in the expanded lane. The expanded lane also allows users to search and
launch ESS applications.
Using the HRESS_MENU BAdI, you can hide particular folders based on role, job, country, and so on, for employees. For more
information, see Dynamic Rendering of the Menu (BAdI HRESS_MENU).
Prerequisites
The Launchpad customizing role ESS and Instance MENU must be available in the client from where the ESS menu is displayed.
Integration
This application uses the Launchpad framework to display the menu. Launchpad offers the exibility to con gure the rst-level
navigation as an application or as an Object Based Navigation (OBN). Applications that are not part of the EA-HR software
component, for example, SRM and SAP E-Recruiting are launched through OBN navigation in the standard delivery. For these
applications, the following setting is required for the Launchpad menu:
1. In Edit mode, choose Extras General Settings .
2. Under OBN Navigation Mode, select User Set of Roles.
In the standard delivery, it is set to Active. It means that when you launch an OBN, it searches for all the roles assigned to the
Portal user before the OBN navigation is resolved. So when an application, for example, from SRM is launched, it checks for all
the assigned roles of the user in Portal or NWBC and resolves the OBN target. For example, SRM application resolves only if the
ESS-speci c SRM single role is assigned to the user in SAP Enterprise Portal.
For more information, see Object-Based Navigation for ESS (WDA) in the SAP EP. The same approach is applicable to the
SAPUI5–based My Services.
Features
In the standard shipment, you use the Launchpad role ESS and Instance MENU to render the ESS menu.
4/15/2019
All the rst-level folders in the menu are available as tabs in the application. Each tab contains subfolders. Each subfolder is
represented by a card containing speci c applications. A search eld is provided for users to search for a speci c service.
User can also set applications as Favorites by clicking the Rating Indicator icon available next to the application links.
The Most Frequently Used links and Related links are represented by two different cards in the Overview tab.
Launchpad also offers the following basic functions:
You can add short descriptions for the individual services that appear on the UI.
You can edit the link texts of the hyperlinks that the employees use to start the services.
Con guration
To set a service as an active application, maintain the parameter ACTIVE=X in the Additional Information section. By setting a
service as an active application, you are informing the user that it is important and some immediate action is required from the
employee.
The Launchpad role and instance name is picked up from the personalization key HRESS_ACTIONS_LPD. In the standard
shipment, the role ESS and Instance MENU is assigned. Personalization key is assigned to the employee self-service composite
role SAP_EMPLOYEE_ESS_UI5_1.
