Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Admin Center
  2. Search for Manage Home Page
  3. Select Organization Update
  4. Add card

Cause

Issue happens because the size of the popover content of the custom tile (more than the allowed length of 5MB).

Resolution

We recommend uploading an image via the rich text editor while adding popover content to minimize the size of the content, rather than using base64 images directly in the content.

You can insert image or video in a pop up of a custom card following the steps below:

  1. Admin Center > Manage Home Page > Organizational Updates > Click on edit card
  2. Select 'Navigation' section > In Target select Popover and the template you would like
  3. Go to Content > Content toolbar > click on “…” > then click on Insert/edit image button:

  1. You can choose to use the URL of the hosted image then click on 'Ok' (If the image is not hosted, you can follow the KBA 2157471 and host it in SuccessFactors server)


  1. Or you can also upload an image from your archive.

  1. You will see the image on the content box then:

Note: If you are following the above process, but the image is not being displayed, please make sure you are adding the Source hosted URL correctly as per KBA 2157471 or adding the local file under "Upload" tab.

Adding video:

The process will be the same, but you will click on Insert/edit media button:

NOTE: Due to security reasons, embedded videos using Iframe in the popover Content box are not supported, so when saving the card, the video will get erased. In those cases, the recommendation is to opt for "Video File" or "Iframe" options and follow the instructions in the "?" icon.
