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 Performance Management

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Admin Center > Form Template Settings > Select the PM template
  2. Make sure Disable Ask For Feedback functionalit is NOT checked
  3. In Date range for collecting feedback from employees, select Fixed for both Start and End Dates
  4. Select future dates for Stard Date and End Date
  5. Launch a new form or in an existing form, proxy as the Manager and access the Team Overview tab
  6. Notice that the Ask for Feedback button is still displayed

Cause

This is an expected behavior of Ask for Feedback functionality. It compares the current date with the Start and End date defined in Form Template Settings and render the button accordingly.

Resolution

The Ask for Feedback button visibility in the Team Overview tab will be based on the following:

Note: Changes to the Ask for Feedback dates and options in Form Template Settings are retroactive. Changes to the dates will apply to existing forms.

1. Disable Ask For Feedback Functionality is NOT checked. Start Date and End Date are set to Fixed with future dates. (Current Date is Before Start Date)

Ask for Feedback button will appear with "Recommended Later" below.

Based on the above scenarios, if you are planning to set future dates for Managers to be able to Ask for Feedback and do not want them to see the button yet, you may have to disable ask for feedback first and later just turn it on when you are ready to allow Managers to Ask for Feedback.
