2226457 - Talent Search v2: Using date fields as Search Criteria

Symptom

  • Do date fields allow you to select a date range?
  • Can I search for a specific date?
  • Why do date fields appear duplicated in the Talent Search?

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Succession & Development (Talent Search v2)

Resolution

  • Do date fields allow you to select a date range or can I only search for a specific date?

In the Talent Search v2, all date fields (Basic Information fields, fields from Advanced Information and fields from Ratings) allow you to specify a date range for the date field.

You can also search for a specific date by specifying the same date in both fields.

  • Why do date fields appear duplicated in the Talent Search?

In the Talent Search v2, two fields appear for each date field, instead of one. This happens because they allow you to specify a date range for each date field.

Possible scenarios:

  1. I want to search only employees that were hired between 2000 and 2005: use the Hire Date field, specifying 01/01/2000 as the start of the date range and 12/31/2005 as the end of the date range:

  1. I want to search on employees that had a Performance rating with start date during the first semester of 2013 and the end date during the second semester of 2013:
