2166619 - Activating User Custom Fields in Assignment Profile Attribute List in SuccessFactors Learning

• A user custom field is not appearing in the attribute list of an Assignment Profile.

This KB article explains how to activate User custom field in an Assignment Profile.

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

1. Access Learning Administration >
2. Go to System Administration > Custom Fields > User and choose Add New >
3. Enter Field Number and Label, and then click Add button >
4. Go to any Assignment Profile and click Rules tab >
5. Click Add Rule button >
6. Notice the new custom field, created in step 3, isn't in the Select Attribute dropdown list.

• This behavior occurs because the Assignment Profile Synchronization process did not run yet.
• The Assignment Profile Synchronization process not only checks users for attributes, but also activates the columns in the Assignment Profile.

1. Access Learning Administration >
2. Go to System Administration > Automatic Process >
3. Run the Assignment Profile Execute Updates job.

• The Assignment Profile rules will now include the custom field. The ability to filter on specific IDs will be possible only if the custom field is referenced.
• If the custom column is not referenced, it is not possible to reference it after data has been entered in the field.
• A manual update to null values for all users will need to be performed, or you can use the connector updateOnNull. See KB article 3512178 for information on this process.
