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?
  • Can we keep only one date selection picker, either From Date or To Date in Search criteria?

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.
  • 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.
  • As per the current system design .we cannot customize to use either only start date field or end date field  for search criteria in Talent search.

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:
