  The SAP error message /UI2/FDM211 Tile &1&2: Unknown navigation type &3 typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori applications when there is an issue with the navigation configuration of a tile. This error indicates that the system is unable to recognize the navigation type specified for a particular tile.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Navigation Type: The navigation type defined in the tile configuration may not be valid or recognized by the system. This could be due to a typo or an unsupported navigation type.
  Missing or Incorrect Target Mapping: The target mapping for the tile may not be correctly defined, or the target application may not exist.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies or missing objects in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the target application, leading to navigation failures.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Tile Configuration: 
  
  Go to the Fiori Launchpad Designer and check the configuration of the tile that is causing the error. Ensure that the navigation type is correctly specified (e.g., SAPUI5, URL, etc.).
  Verify that the target mapping is correctly set up and points to a valid application.
  
  
  
  Review Target Mappings:
  
  In the Fiori Launchpad Designer, check the target mappings associated with the tile. Ensure that the target application exists and is correctly configured.

  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, verify that all necessary objects (like catalogs, groups, and target mappings) were transported correctly.
  Ensure that the target system has all the required components and configurations.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the target application. Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure they include access to the relevant Fiori applications.
