9. Switch to the Visualization tab and choose No Tile for the Tile Type property, as shown in the following figure. The tile is not like a normal SAPUI5 application. We add the tile here just so it can be accessed via SAP Fiori launchpad, and we choose No Tile because it doesn’t need a tile display in SAP Fiori launchpad.

11. Switch to the Properties tab, scroll down, find the App Resources Details section, and jot down the values for SAPUI5 Component and HTML5 App Name. You’ll use these values when setting visualization options for your app. This tab is shown below.
