Hi Folks,
Recently, I received the following requirement:
Requirement
The customer wants to access a single application in SAP Build Work Zone, Standard Edition directly, without navigating through the Work Zone home page.
Key expectations:
Users should be able to access a specific Work Zone application directly.
The Work Zone application may point to any backend application, such as:
Web Dynpro ABAP (WDA)
SAP UI5 / Fiori app
BW reports
Third-party applications
Users should only see the content of the backend application.
The Work Zone header should not be visible.
Typical use case:
A user receives an email notification (for example, for an approval).
Clicking Approve or Reject redirects the user directly to the relevant application.
Analysis
After analyzing the requirement, I identified two main parts:
Hide or remove the Work Zone header
Access the application directly using a semantic object and action
Solution
1. Hide the Work Zone Header
To hide the header area of the Work Zone, append the following URL parameter at the end of the URL:
sap-ushell-config=headerless
2. Access the Application Directly
To launch the application directly, append the semantic object and action to the URL:
##<semantic-object>-<action>
The semantic object and action can be obtained from the application configuration in Build Work Zone.
Final URL Example
https://<subaccount>.launchpad.cfapps.<region>.hana.ondemand.com/site/workzone-std-qa?sap-ushell-config=headerless#<semantic-object>-<action>
Result
With this configuration:
The Work Zone header is hidden.
Users are taken directly to the target backend application.
The experience is seamless and ideal for approval or notification-based use cases.
Below is the scren shot for reference:
I hope this helps others who are looking to access Work Zone applications directly without exposing the home page or header.
Please feel free to comment and share your thoughts.

Rohit Gera
