3831561 - App Finder shows more applications than Launchpad spaces/pages when creating a space from a role (SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition)

Symptom

  • When creating a space directly from a role using "Create a new space," fewer apps are added to the space than expected based on the catalogs.
  • App Finder shows more applications than the Launchpad.

Environment

  • SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. From a role, choose "Create a new space".
  2. Observe that the generated space includes fewer apps than expected based on the catalogs.
  3. Open App Finder and compare; more applications are listed there than on the Launchpad.

Cause

  • Expected behavior: App Finder lists all applications authorized via assigned business catalogs.
  • Creating a space from a role auto-adds only apps that are placed on standard Space/Page Templates for that role.
  • Some catalog apps are included for navigation or deep-link purposes and are not placed on the standard pages.

Resolution

  1. Open the Manage Launchpad Spaces app.
  2. Open the target space and navigate to the relevant page.
  3. Use Add to search for and add the missing apps as tiles.
  4. Be aware there is currently no system option to automatically add all App Finder applications to a space in one step.
