Exploring the default Dashboard in SAP Ariba Sourcing

When an end-user of SAP Ariba Sourcing logs in, they are presented with the Home Dashboard which contains a series of product tabs and portlets containing links to SAP Ariba Sourcing documents and various common actions. Dashboards provide a customizable landing page and interface which allows users to easily access tasks, documents, and other content.

Solutions Menu Bar

The Solutions menu bar appears for all users, and the documents and tab visibility settings are controlled by the user groups and association with documents.

Users are able to add and remove menu items to the menu bar to get easy access to the frequently used items.

On the Solutions Menu Bar in the system, you can select More to see the full list of solutions enabled within the realm that the user has permission to access.
