SAP User Interface Guidelines – Overview

Introduction | Current Public SAP UI Guidelines | SAP UI Guidelines for SAPGUI Applications | Obsolete UI Guidelines | See Also...

By Gerd Waloszek, SAP User Experience – April 11, 2013

On this page, we present an overview of current SAP's UI Guidelines that have been released to the public as well as guidelines that are still valid.

 

Introduction

UI Guidelines are critical to ensuring consistency across products and product lines and enhancing the user experience. SAP User Experience designs these guidelines and works with development to ensure they are realized in the SAP NetWeaver platform.
