2580598 - What sections can be hidden/disbaled from a Dependent's portlet?

Symptom

While Entering the Dependent Information, you want to hide/disable certain sections that are available by Default.

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 Employee Central - Dependents Management

Cause

  • The Dependents portlet uses exactly the same elements (database tables) to store information for dependents as it does for employees. These tables are Personal Information, Home Address, National ID, Biographical Information & Global Information. 
  • However, you can choose to hide a particular section, so it will not be displayed when entering a dependent's information.

Resolution

We currently only have the functionality to disable Home Address and National ID Information. To disable the HRIS-elements HomeAddress or NationalIDCard , please follow: 

  1. Go to Admin Center -> Manage Business Configuration.
  2. Select the HRIS element that you want to disable.
  3. Set the Disabled Under Dependents Section checkbox to Yes.
  4. Save your settings.
  5. Result: The corresponding information, home addresses or national ID information, is not visible in the Details of the Dependents block.

For: nationalIdCard

    • Navigate to Admin Center -> Manage Business Configuration UI.
    • Select 'nationalIdCard'.
    • Set the value for the field 'Disabled for Dependents' as 'Yes', if you want to disable the section.

    For: homeAddress

    • Set the value for the field 'Disabled for Dependents' as 'Yes', if you want to disable the section.

    For other portlets, to automatically hide any fields that are irrelevant to dependents of a specific relationship type, you can use OnChange rules with Dependents Model as a base object to control visibility of fields based on the selection of relationship type. See Example: Hide an Irrelevant Field for Dependents of a Specific Relationship Type .
