Important Notes Before Importing:
- The import functionality of Families/Job Roles/Competencies does not provide a template directly inside SuccessFactors to update/create new data
- Below are examples of how to build a file for the “Import Job Roles” functionality (also known as “Job Family/Roles/Competency Mapping Import”)
- Unlike files used for importing new Families & Roles, the header is visible when importing a mapping between Job Codes and Job Roles
- The system will automatically detect how to handle this file so long as the mapping file is configured according to system specifications
- The mapping of Job Codes to Roles can only be done after the creation of the Families & Roles. For more information on how to import new Families & Roles, refer to KB article 2161377
Steps/Checks for Importing:
- It is strongly recommended to export the current mapping state before doing an import:
- Navigate to the Admin Center
- Search for Manage Job Roles
- Select a family > Select all roles > Select the Choose dropdown > Download
- Load the entire mapping using the below header:
- Note:
- The entire mapping must be imported every time as the system will always do a complete overwrite of all mappings.

Column Descriptions:
- JOBCODE: Contains the Job Code to be associated with a Role
- FAMILY: Name of the Family that contains the Role for which you are mapping a Job Code to
- ROLE: Name of the Role that you are associating a Job Code to
- MODULE: Can be “default” or “Succession” depending on how your company uses it
Note:
- A Role can have several Job Codes associated with it. To achieve this, the FAMILY and the ROLE column can repeat the same value as many times as needed
- A new row for every Job Code being mapped is required
