Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide application developers with concrete rules governing the style of SAP applications on standard Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), including structure, layout, colors, fonts, and icons.
SAP mobile applications can be web-based and stand-alone, and most often, applications provided with the operating system are disabled.
The guidelines included in this document are intended to meet the lowest common denominator, and therefore they focus on web-based applications. When developing stand-alone applications for a specific operating system, it is recommended to follow the user interface guidelines provided by the operating system in question, which offer powerful features supporting usability, such as "tap and hold" and menu bars.
Status
This design guide project is managed by Ralph Heidl from the BU MBS Development Architecture. This is the final release of version 1.1, which has been reviewed by development communities and Clare Johnson from the SAP Usability Engineering Center.
