2. ‘Get Support’ application (replacing former ‘Incident Wizard’)
The new ‘Get Support’ application uses artificial intelligence to predict the right product categorization and recommend the most suitable support channel and solution to resolve your product issue faster and more efficiently!
‘Get Support’ is a central access point to all channels if you need help with a product issue: ‘Report a Case’, Expert Chat, Schedule an Expert, Ask an Expert Peer (will be integrated later), and SAP Community.
We changed the terminology from ‘Incident’ to ‘Case’, ‘Case’ is the new name for getting help for technical product issues.

4. How to navigate in SAP for Me
Previously you used ‘tiles’ in SAP ONE Support Launchpad to perform your support related tasks, e.g., ‘Report an Incident’ or ‘License Keys’. Now in SAP for Me you can find them in ‘dashboards’ displayed as ‘cards’:
a. Search bar: You can use the search to find and navigate to more information. The result list displays all findings organized into categories such as SAP Support Knowledge Base, Dashboards and Pages, Downloads, Contacts, Products, Licenses, and more. There are quick actions available in your search results: you can e.g., directly call a contact or download a support package.
b. Communication center: You can find your notifications here.
c. Shopping card: Can be used in case you would like to buy licenses.
d. Your profile: Information about your accounts, contact preference, email, etc. You can change the S-user contact details in 'My Company Info'- 'S-User Contact Details' card.
Please be aware that the language and time zone in 'My Account' will not change the SAP for Me display language & time zone. The language currently depends on your browser setting, time zone (e.g., time displayed for Schedule an Expert) depends on your PC time. A feature enhancement will enable you to specify the preferred language within the SAP for Me settings later in 2023.
e. Home page: You can leverage and customize the home page, so that it serves as the starting point to reach every important application with one click. To customize it, click 'Edit' on the upper right side of page and choose what you need from the 'Card Catalog'.
f. Calendar: You can see the important event dates e.g., planned maintenance for cloud services, license key expiry, Schedule an Expert or Schedule a Manager sessions, SAP Security Patch Days, etc. in one single view. Clicking on the event, you will be able to see more details of it or join your Schedule an Expert/ Schedule a Manager session directly.
g. Sidebar: It is divided into a set of 'Dashboards' containing all data and functions SAP for Me offers. Depending on your role, you will either only see the customer or partner dashboard or both. You can collapse it to gain more space on the right side.
h. Feedback Slider: We offer dedicated channels for specific purposes: You can suggest new features, share your opinion, and report technical issues like an error or unexpected behavior.
