Step titles should be in sentence case and not Title Case. Please revise these in all tutorials and all steps accordingly.
You use numbers in your screenshots but you do not use numbers in your steps. You should number your steps to match the diagrams you provide. It would also be visually better to color the number/arrows in your diagrams red instead of black.


In the **SAP BTP cockpit**, on the **left-hand pane** expand the **Services** menu and click on **Instances and Subscriptions**. On the right side, locate the **Launchpad Service** under **Subscriptions** and click on the **Go to Application** icon next to it.

![Figure 1 – Go to Application on Launchpad Service subscription](launch-service.png)

The **Site Manager UI** will open-up in a new browser tab. So, the first thing you need to do is to **refresh** (grab) the content from the **HTML5 applications** repository for bring in our application from there.

Click on the **sandwich menu** at the top-left corner of the page to expand the app menu and click on the **Provider Manager** option. Then, click on the **refresh button** at the far right of the **HTML5 apps** provider to bring-in the content from there.

![Figure 2 – Refresh content from the HTML5 apps repository](refresh-content.png)

[DONE]
[ACCORDION-END]

[ACCORDION-BEGIN [Step 2: ](Prepare Business Content: Application, Group and Catalog)]

To learn about the **concepts** managed by the **SAP Launchpad Service**, please refer to the official documentation in [**this link**](https://help.sap.com/viewer/8c8e1958338140699bd4811b37b82ece/Cloud/en-US/3f619a13ca2a4a59a14bec8507c3fb69.html).

Click on the **Content Manager** option, then on the **Content Explorer** tab and, finally, on the **HTML5 Apps** tile.

![Figure 3 – Access HTML5 Apps Repository](access-repo.png)

Select the **Manage Projects** app, then click on the **Add to My Content** button.

![Figure 4 – Add Manage Projects App to My Content](add-app.png)

Click on the **My Content** tab, then on the **New** button and select **Catalog** from the menu.

![Figure 5 – Add New Catalog](add-catalog.png)

Type **Project Management** as **Title** and **Project Management Catalog** as **Description**. Click on the **Assign Items** search bar and, then, on the "**+**" icon to the right of the **Manage Projects** app. Finally, click on the **Save** button.

![Figure 6 – Project Management Catalog Information](catalog-info.png)

Go back to the **Content Manager** home page, click on the **New** button and select **Group** from the menu.

![Figure 7 – Add New Group](add-group.png)

Type **SuccessFactors Extensions** as **Title** and **SuccessFactors Extensions Group** as **Description**. Click on the **Assign Items** search bar and, then, on the "**+**" icon to the right of the **Manage Projects** app. Finally, click on the **Save** button.

![Figure 8 – SuccessFactors Extensions Group Information](group-info.png)

[DONE]
[ACCORDION-END]

[ACCORDION-BEGIN [Step 3: ](Assign the Application to Everyone)]

Go back to the **Content Manager** home page and click on the **Everyone** role in the list.

![Figure 9 – Access the Everyone Role](access-role.png)

Click on the **Edit** button at the top-right and then on the **Assign Items** search bar. Click on the "**+**" icon to the right of the **Manage Projects** app. Finally, click on the **Save** button.

![Figure 10 – Assign the Manage Projects app to the Everyone Role](assign-app.png)

[DONE]
[ACCORDION-END]

[ACCORDION-BEGIN [Step 4: ](Create the Launchpad Site)]

Click on the **Site Directory** option and then on the **Create Site** button.

![Figure 11 – Create New Site](create-site.png)

Name the site **BTP Extensions** and click on the **Create** button.

![Figure 12 – Site Name](site-name.png)

[DONE]
[ACCORDION-END]

[ACCORDION-BEGIN [Step 5: ](Test the Site and Application)]

Click on the link below the **URL** field to **launch the site**, which will open-up in a new browser tab.

![Figure 13 – Launch the Site](launch-site.png)

Click on the **Maintain Projects** tile to **launch the application**.

> **NOTE**: the title "**Maintain Projects**" is taken from the **SAP Fiori Launchpad (FLP) configuration** that was done when the SAP Fiori Elements application has been created following this tutorial: [**Develop the SAP Fiori Elements Application for the SAP SuccessFactors Extension**](cap-extend-sfsf-fiori-elements).

![Figure 14 – Launch Application](launch-app.png)

The **List Report page** for the **Project** entity will be loaded:

![Figure 15 – List Report page for Project entity](list-report.png)

Now, click on the **Go** button and the **initial test data** (loaded to the HANA database from the CSV files) will be displayed:

![Figure 16 – Initial test data displayed](test-data.png)

And that's it! You have successfully added a **fully working SAP Fiori Elements application** deployed to **SAP BTP's HTML5 Apps Repository** to an **SAP Launchpad Service** site.

You can, now, test it at your will, in the same way you did using the **Fiori Preview** in **step 6** of the tutorial: [**Prepare the SAP SuccessFactors Extension UI with CDS Annotations**](cap-extend-sfsf-ui-annotations).

And this is the **final step** to **Extend SAP SuccessFactors on SAP BTP with CAP**!

[DONE]
[ACCORDION-END]

[ACCORDION-BEGIN [Step 6: ](Check Your Knowledge)]

[VALIDATE_1]
[ACCORDION-END]

[ACCORDION-BEGIN [Step 7: ](Stretch Yourself)]

**Congratulations**! After having gone through and completed the tutorials in this group you should have successfully **Extended SAP SuccessFactors on SAP BTP with CAP** with a **simple project management application**!

But there's a lot of room for improvement in this solution, so don't miss the opportunity to challenge yourself and go deeper in learning the technologies showcased in this tutorials group by enhancing your application!

Here's a list of suggestions for enhancements:

- Directly assign an SAP SuccessFactors employee to a project as the "Project Owner" adding the corresponding assignment to the employee profile
- Implement a mechanism to remove the assignment from the employee profile whenever he/she is removed from a project team (either by member deletion or replacement). The same would apply to the "Project Owner"
- Implement validations such as: projects must start at least from the current date (not before) and must end after the start date and activities due dates must be within the project's start and end dates
- Implement a mechanism to avoid activities to be added before there's at least one member in the team to assign them
- Implement restrictions such as: users can only view/manage projects that have been created by themselves, only employees who report to the project creator can be assigned as team members, etc.
- And so on, and so forth… the sky's the limit!
