Environment

Reproducing the Issue
Prerequisite: Enable the Latest People Profile feature
- Navigate to any user’s profile.
- Observe that some or most cards do not load content.
- The card continues loading, and content does not appear even after waiting.
- If the issue affects a user, the same behavior can be observed on any user’s employee profile.
- If a user is not affected, the issue is not reproducible, even when proxying as one of the affected users.
Cause
- An internal IT blocker prevents card content from loading.
- In rare cases, a data issue may also cause this problem.
Resolution
To validate that an internal IT blocker is causing the issue:
- Open your browser’s Developer / Inspect Tools and go to the Network tab.
- Reload the Latest People Profile page.
- Look for any blocked Card Name in the Network tab (these will appear in red).
- Click on Preview for the blocked request.
- You may see errors such as:
- "Sorry, you don't have permission to visit this site."
- "Website blocked"
- "Not allowed to access this file type"
Resolution:
- Contact your company’s IT Team and share the error messages above.
- It may be helpful to export the Network logs and provide them to the IT Team for reference.
To address potential block-related data issues:
- Navigate to Configure Latest People Profile.
- Create a new card from scratch and save it.
- If the new card loads successfully, the previous problematic card can be deleted.
