2076100 - Launching Forms - Create New Form Button via the Performance Inbox - Performance Management

Symptom

It is possible to grant permission to individual users so that each employee or manager can launch their own form, or a form for their direct report directly from the Performance Inbox. Once the permission is granted, the "Create New form" button will be available from the Performance Inbox.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

  1. Select the employee for whom you wish to create a form:
    NOTE: The selection available depends on the Default Targets selected.

In addition, if you use this way to create a form using a newly created template, since the RBP hasn't been updated to include the new template, it is necessary to refresh RBP via Provisioning > Company Settings > Refresh RBP Permission Configuration.

Note: 

  • The User Login Permission must also be granted to see the Create Form button. If users do not have Login permission, when the form is with them it can cause the form to auto-route forward. Not having the user Login permission can cause the "Edit draft" button to appear which will block creation of the form. 
  • As a customer, you do not have access to Provisioning. To complete tasks in Provisioning, contact your Implementation Partner. If you don't have a Partner, you can find for SAP Certified Partners via the SAP Partner Finder or, alternatively, speak with your Account Executive or Customer Engagement Executive about Professional Services options.
