2688878 - Notification template editor - Send Preview option notification data

Symptom

What kind of data/information comes in the notification template, when triggered through the "Send Preview" option of the notification template editor?

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

Reproducing the Issue

In the Learning admin side, click:

  1. System Admin > Configuration > Notification Templates > Search and access the desired notification template >
  2. Messages > Launch Editor > Send Preview.

Resolution

When triggering the notification template through the "Send Preview" option of the notification template editor, the data/information that comes in it is not related to a user. It will look like the template is blank.

To have the notification populated with user data, It would be necessary to have the notification triggered for a user and not through the "Send Preview" option.

Note: the email needs to be enabled in the Global Application Settings (Learning admin side > System Administration > Configuration > Global Application Settings > Mail > Enable email), so it will be generated and delivered.
