Symptom

How to enable Facebook Integration with SuccessFactors Employee Profile?

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HXM Core

Resolution

  • Facebook Integration allows you to easily look up an employee in the Facebook.com application. You can click on the Facebook link to search for all users in Facebook.com with the same first and last name as the employee that you are looking for. If you sign up as a Facebook.com user and accept the Facebook.com cookie, you will experience seamless integration between SuccessFactors and Facebook.
  • Clicking the link will open a new browser window with facebook search results\login screen (depending on the sf logged in users Facebook cookie).  

Configuration Information

To enable Facebook Integration, include the standard element Facebook. You can include this element in the Employee Profile, User Directory, or Photo card view-templates. Including this data element will cause the link "Facebook" to appear in the relevant place. You must provide the relevant permissions to allow Facebook to appear for users.

See below -

<standard-element id="facebook" required="false" matrix-filter="false">
<label>FaceBook</label>
</standard-element>

After that, follow the steps below:

  1. Go to Admin Tools > Configure People Profile > General Settings.
  2. Select the Configure Header Fields.
  3. Select the field Facebook to display in the profile header.
