# The Launchpad and Apps

> The RIKAISO MDM launchpad, the short entry links, in-app help, common screen elements, and one page per app: Manage Master Data Objects, Staging Records, Monitor Mass Changes, Background Jobs, Application Logs.

> **Draft brief for authors.** Section page, the equivalent of SAP's "Apps for Resource Scheduling": one page per app with purpose, key features, roles, where to open it, the screen and its limits; the task topics are in Working with Master Data.

## In this section

- [The RIKAISO MDM Launchpad](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/launchpad.md): Spaces and pages, tiles that follow your roles, search, settings, personalization, shared links, the Help button, Sign Out, and what you see when the launchpad cannot start.
- [Short Entry Links](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/short-links.md): Every app has a short link that opens it directly with the same sign-in as the launchpad.
- [In-App Help (Help Mode)](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/in-app-help.md): Press Help, and every field and button with help gets a blue dot; select the dot or the element to read its help instead of running it.
- [Common Screen Elements](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/common-ui-elements.md): The filter bar, value helps, views, table settings, export, messages, keyboard operation and the phone and tablet layout that every MDM app shares.
- [Manage Master Data Objects](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/app-manage-master-data-objects.md): The live SAP lists of one line of business with a tab per object, Linked Objects, Download Template, Upload File and the connection strip.
- [Staging Records](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/app-staging-records.md): The records of one Task: their statuses and messages, Mass Edit, Delete, the processing menu, export, the quota notice and the warning about fields that will be cleared.
- [Monitor Mass Changes](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/app-monitor-mass-changes.md): The Tasks list and the Task page: statuses, progress, counts as links, the actions your role allows, the next step, and when a Task will be deleted.
- [Background Jobs](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/app-background-jobs.md): One row per upload and processing run with its status, pause reason, the identity in SAP, and Pause, Resume and Stop for those whose role allows it.
- [Application Logs](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/app-application-logs.md): The business history of every upload, edit and processing step per record, with filters, a trend view, SAP's own words, the support reference and export.
- [Apps You Will Not See](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/provider-apps.md): Feature Toggle Administration is the provider's app; it records your add-ons and quota, and this page says what to ask the provider for.
