2275945 - No results are returned when using Job Code as a picklist in Talent Search - Succession Management

Symptom

  • When Job Code field is configured as a picklist, no results are returned on Talent Search.
  • Is it possible to use Job Code field as a picklist in the Talent Search?

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Succession Management

Cause

This may be caused by non-supported configuration of Job Code field in the XML code (Data Model) of the instance.

Resolution

It is possible to use the Job Code field as a picklist in the Talent Search. To use the field as a picklist, the “jobCode” standard element should be configured with “pre-populate” attribute equals to “true”.

To complete tasks in Provisioning, your Implementation Partner must be engaged. In case you are no longer working with an Implementation Partner, you can request assistance with this Configuration Change, for Cloud Support, by opening an case.

Partners & Support Only

Below you can find an example of how the "jobCode" element must be configured in Data Model, when associating a picklist to the element:

<standard-element id="jobCode" max-length="128" required="false" matrix-filter="false" pre-populate="true">
<label>Job Code</label>
<picklist id="jobCode"/>
</standard-element>

By configuring the “jobCode” standard element this way, the Job Code field will appear with a picklist selection in the Talent Search and you will be able to filter the results correctly.
