Symptom
When we enter an employee in 'Starting from' next to the team view and select HR reports, still the Starting From is respected.
The understanding is that it is only supported for Team View and not for rest of the Filter options. But it works for HR Reports, Matrix Reports, Custom Reports etc.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Compensation
Reproducing the Issue
Home ---> Compensation --> Executive Review.
Filter Options --> Populate a Manager(who is also a HR Manager for some other employees) Name in 'Starting From'.
Select Team View.
You will see the direct reports list in the worksheet.
Then keep the 'Starting From' as it is.
Select HR Reports. Then we are able to see the list of HR reports in the worksheet.
But 'Starting From' should have only worked for Team View.
Cause
This is an expected behavior that 'Starting From' works for Team View, HR Reports, Custom Reports, Matrix Reports. It works for all Filter Options and not only for Team View.
This is as per system design that 'Starting From' is respected by Team View, HR Reports, Matrix Reports, Custom Reports.
Resolution
If we need only HR reports of the logged in user, then use 'Myself' in the 'Starting From' option. 'Myself' should be used to pull only employees related to the logged in User.
