New In-App Experience in SAP S/4HANA

[diana_vega]

Live the new in-app help experience delivered with SAP S/4HANA Cloud 2302

You can now access the in-app help in all apps by clicking the question mark on the shell bar.

Additionally, the look and feel of the in-app help for all apps has been harmonized; you won’t notice a difference as you access help.

The icons that appear next to individual elements on the screen when the help mode is active are now displayed as question marks:

This looks like limited SAP Companion content and perhaps SAP Companion for desktop.
Is it?
and if SAP Companion for desktop, SAP brings standard content offerings at least for on-prem S4 that includes Guided tours as well as the help.

Thanks for the post, looking forward to some clarification.

Nice blog. I guess that's probably the first one at all on the SAP Companion?

Hi Wallace,

it is about SAP Companion (f.k.a. Web Assistant) default/ standard content but does not refer to SAP Companion for desktop (f.k.a. Desktop Assistant) as for the in-app desktop edition there is no default / standard content available and also the desktop edition is not embedded into SAP applications by default but has to be installed by customers separatly. Hope this helps.

 

Saludos,

Mirko

So the whole post was just SAP Companion... was it not there on the Cloud items?  or was it switched to always on or something...
SAP Companion on S4 is an older topic now, at least to my understanding.
Thanks for the answer and consideration.
Best Regards, Wallace

Right, SAP Companion was integrated before. I guess the post is informing about the new hotspot icons and the harmonized approach.

Thanks Mirko, for some reason the "like" on your comment gave "error:Forbidden".

Hi Christian,

there are quite a few on SAP Companion already, for example:

SAP Companion in-app help gives SAP Ariba Guided Buying a boost

And more 🙂

Take care,

I've literally just been through all the standard in-app (SAP Companion) help at a client changing all the mis-matched circle hotspots to use the icons (consistently sized as XS) because I think it looks better. Glad to see @SAP are catching up with me 😉

Sometimes as much as everyone yelled, I miss the Sapgui - it was consistent.  We've got so many different UI/UI content builders now the consistency is not there as much... sizes like you mention above, also just stupid stuff on navigation - same action (create, save) across different solutions the "button location" moves around...  But as your post indicates, I guess it goes back to the old "but it gives us work" approach to stress reduction/frustration.
