Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

Resolution

Custom Portlet UI for displaying the data from the MDF Object can be created using the Manage Configuration UI tool in Meta Data Framework
To add the custom MDF Portlet in the Profile section, follow the steps below:

For People Profile Page (PP3) Instances

Navigate to Admin Center > Tool Search > Configure People Profile
In the Search area for Available blocks, look for "Live Profile MDF Information" block. (It should appear if you search "mdf")
Drag and drop the porltet into the desired available space as shown in below screenshot

Select the UI screen Id and click on Save button as shown in screenshot below:

In case you create a new section to add the portlet, make sure you grant the Employee Views > "Section Name" permission to the users who can access it.
Once the above steps are completed, the portlet will start to appear on the Profile Page. If the custom block is not part of a standard portlet, normal RBP behavior applies.

Note: Live Profile MDF Portlet in Employee Profile Section can be created only for Objects that have externalCode set as User data type, otherwise you will not get the option to select the Screen ID
