Symptom
How to create a standard element in Dynamic Groups (DG) Filters.
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 HCM Suite.
Reproducing the Issue
Scenario 1:
- Create a Role Based Permission (RBP) group.
- Search for a desired filter in People Pool, it is not available.
Scenario 2:
- Create new group under Manage Employee Groups.
- Search for a desired filter in People Pool, it is not available.
Scenario 3:
- Create new group under My Groups:
- Go to "Options --> Groups"
- Select the button labeled "Create New Group"
- Search for a desired filter in People Pool, it is not available.
Cause
Not all Standard Elements are create as a DG Filter.
Resolution
You have to use a custom field to create a DG Filter as the steps below:
- Go 'Manage Business Configuration' > Employee Profile > Standard > Select a not used custom field > Take Action > Make Correction > Add label as you prefer. Then set it to Enable and Save.
- Scroll down to Filters > Custom Filters > Default > Take Action > Make Correction. Then set Enabled to Yes and add the created standard element > Save.
Now the standard element created will be available in People Pool for "Manage Permission Group" and "Manage Employee Groups".
Note: The field has to be populated in EP or, if required, you can map and sync an EC field to the EP field.
But, if you are trying to add the standard element created to be available in People Pool for "My Groups" from scenario 3, then, there is one more step to be followed in this case:
- Scroll down to Dynamic Group Filters > DG Filters> Take Action > Make Correction. Then set Type to "My Filters" > click on "details" and add the created standard element under "statndard element" > Finished > Save
