How to configure or edit a custom panel?
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Resolution
For Live Customer (s), Implementation Partner(s), and Consulant(s)
User Defined (custom) panels may be created and edited by the Onboarding system administrator. This action is performed in the Panel Designer tool, which may only be used for custom panels.
Panel Designer
- Navigate to SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding > Settings > Panels
- In the left pane, look for the panel to be edited either under its corresponding process or in the User Defined panels section. Click the individual panel from the left frame.
- To add a feature to the panel, click and drag it from the left frame to the Panel Workspace where you would like it to go. See below for list of panel features.
Panel Features
- Once a feature has been added to the panel, the system administrator may define its properties, add fields or conditions. You may edit existing fields in the panel by double clicking on them in the Workspace.
- Each feature has its own set of properties that may be edited. The SAP SuccessFactors HCM Picklist field requires you to select a “Key” (field) from the Data Dictionary, and the Picklist Name (picklist ID) from the picklist.csv file that is imported in Picklists Management.
