Symptom
Words are not being recognized by Spell Check.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors BizX Platform
Cause
Periodically, words will not be recognized in spell check even though the user has added the word to the custom dictionary. Quite often these words fit their business model for a given company.
The SuccessFactors application enables you to add custom words to your dictionary one at a time, import a file of words and, for the medical field, add on a complete medical dictionary complete with over 200.000 words!
Resolution
Enter the word into the custom dictionary import file in multiple formats lower, upper and mixed case.
You can do this via the UI in Admin Center > Manage Company Dictionary, one at a time, or you can import a complete file of words.
Example Formatting:
- HydroCAD
- StormCAD
- stormcad
- hydrocad
- HYDROCAD
- STORMCAD
Once the file is imported, spell check will recognize the new word.
