Symptom

What are the options available to change layout of forms?

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. From profile dropdown menu, select Settings
  2. On the left side menu, select Forms
  3. See two options available:
    1. Auto-Expanding Text Areas
    2. Field Validation

Resolution

Your company determined the form content and layout to meet business requirements. You can't change the content or the layout design, but you can optimize how information is displayed on the form.

When you select these options, your form displays information better, but depending on your company's network setup, your form might take longer to load and display. You can always turn off the formatting options if you want your forms to load faster.

You can choose to have:

Auto-Expanding Text Areas: Select this checkbox if you want the system to automatically resize a form's text areas to fit the content, when you first load the form, and as you're entering text. Unselecting this checkbox can speed up form opening and refreshing.

Field Validation: Select this checkbox if you want the system to automatically verify the content of some form fields. Fields with invalid information will display the text in red. Unselecting this checkbox can speed up form opening and refreshing.
