2371247 - How to make fields visible, required or remove them, in "Add New Item" window

Symptom

Some fields are not visibly available in the "Add New Item" window.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Access Learning Admin side >
  2. Learning Activities >
  3. Items >
  4. Click "Add New" >
  5. Note that there are some fields missing and other set as required.

    For example, in the screenshot below, we cannot see the field "Title" and the field "Description" is required to create the item:

Cause

Some of the fields are not marked to be displayed, or required in the Entity Configuration menu.

Resolution

  1. Access Learning Admin side >
  2. System Administration >
  3. Entity Configuration >
  4. Select Entity Item >
  5. Look for the field that you would like change. In this example: "Title" and "Description" >
  6. Note the Columns "Required" and "Display", and select the fields that suits your needs. In this example, "Title" is set to be displayed and required, while "Description" was made not required.

  7. Now when you go back to the "Add New Item" window, you should be able to see the changed fields:

Note 1: The process to make Item custom fields visible and required is the same as the above.

Note 2: Fields not listed in the Entity Configuration menu cannot be edited in any sort of way (displayed, removed, or make required).
