A catalog is a set of apps you want to make available for one role. Depending on the role and the catalogs assigned to the role, users can browse through the catalogs and choose the apps that they want to display on the entry page of the SAP Fiori launchpad.

You can use standard technical catalog SAP_FND_TC_T, which is shipped with My Inbox.

2. Click the plus sign at the bottom of the list to create a new catalog.

3. Enter a Title and an ID and choose Save.

4. Now your new catalog opens and you can create a target mapping as well create a tile in this catalog.

In the target mapping configuration, you map a navigation target to the combination of a semantic object and an action, also known as intent.

In the standard technical catalog (SAP_FND_TC_T), a target mapping has already been created and that can be used for My Inbox.
