• This KB Article explains what is/is not supported in introduction sections when adding links and HTML.

SAP SuccessFactors Performance Management

• PM has limited support for custom HTML. For security reasons, there is a limit to what can be added so there is no potential for insertion of malicious code. Javascript, snippets and applets are not allowed. HTML, other than listed below, may work, but it is NOT officially supported as it may break without warning. Support will not assist with any code not in the supported list. Any unsupported code not working should be removed.
• Section intro text supports the following syntax. Although you can add other html tags not shown below and the html version of the form will appear to render the text correctly, the PDF version of the form will not render the text correctly so using only the syntax shown below is recommended. Be sure to include the closing tags as shown below for the html tags. 

<b> </b>  bold face using html syntax
[BOLD] - alternative bold face syntax
BOLD must be specified in all uppercase. "pipe" sign | must appear immediately after BOLD, no spaces

<i> </i> - italics

<u> </u> - underline

<br> </br> - html line break
[BREAK] alternative line break - BREAK must be specified in all uppercase. "pipe" sign must appear immediately after BREAK, no spaces

[POPUP] invokes the hyperlink in a pop-up window. POPUP must be specified in all uppercase

Example - [[POPUP|Instructions|/doc/custom/invitrogen/Promotability_Scale.htm]]

If users access documents not hosted by SuccessFactors the user may be prompted with a security information dialog box that says the page contains nonsecure items "pipe" sign must appear immediately after POPUP, no spaces<a href="http://">hyperlink name</a> html hyperlink syntax will open in same window as SuccessFactors application recommend using the POPUP syntax instead.
