2277712 - How to hide or display custom fields

Symptom

When custom fields are visible in the entity records even though they were never used or created for any purpose, administrators may choose to hide them.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

Resolution

  1. Go to Learning Administration > System Administration > Configuration > Entity Configuration > Choose the entity >
  2. Select or uncheck the ‘Display’ box for any field and save >
  3. It will be displayed/It won’t be displayed anymore in the given entity record.

Note: It is not possible to restrict permissions for one custom field specifically for an admin or a role. Either all Learning Administrators see the particular field, or no one can see it.

Furthermore, please note there are required permissions to see all custom fields of an entity.

For example, to see all item custom fields in item details tab, following permissions are required:

  • Add Item Custom Field
  • Search Item Custom Field
