Additional Features
SAP Fiori Client App: SAP Fiori Client is a mobile application that can be
installed on Android and iOS devices. This application acts as an
enterprise enhancement to the mobile browser when SAP Fiori
applications are running. It provides more reliable asset caching (HTML,
CSS, JavaScript files, and more) as well as, on iOS, an enhanced
attachment viewing process. Therefore, the application is not affected by
browser cache issues.
Ajax Framework Page new design: There is a new visual design for the
SAP Blue Crystal theme, aligned with SAP Fiori Design guidelines.
