Symptom
Is it possible to report on Job Description, Header and Footer in Recruiting V2 Ad-Hoc Reporting or Story Reports?
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Analytics tab > Ad Hoc Reports Create
- New Report > Recruiting V2 > Create
- Columns > select Job Requisition
- External / Internal Job Description are not available to be selected
Cause
As documented in ID Attribute in Field Definition for Job Requisition | Help Portal, the Job Description (Internal/External) as well as the Header and Footer fields are not reportable.
| Field | Field ID |
|---|---|
| Internal Job Description | listingLayout |
| External Job Description | extListingLayout |
| Internal Job Description Header | intJobDescHeader |
| Internal Job Description Footer | intJobDescFooter |
| External Job Description Header | extJobDescHeader |
| External Job Description Footer | extJobDescFooter |
Resolution
Job Description, Header and Footer fields are configured as richText fields. These fields contain alphanumeric content with about a 32,000 character limit, including hidden HTML formatting elements, which may lead to excessively long or inconsistent output.
Due to this structure, reporting on these fields is not supported in Ad-Hoc or Story Reports.
As an alternative, reporting on Job Description content can be achieved via Integration Center. For further guidance, refer KBA 2646086 - How to extract Job Requisition Descriptions using Integration Center - Recruiting Management.
