Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central: Document Generation
Cause
When the browser cannot resolve the unicode characters of the template in few cases, the file name is blank, so we replace the blank value with "_" so the download of the template is successful. As few browsers does not resolve unicode characters in the downloaded file name, any Chinese or special/unsupported character in the file name will not be resolved but replaced with "_" instead of the file name.
Resolution
As we do not have control over handling the unicode character resolution of the browser while downloading in browsers, Document Generation team cannot fix this issue. For such files with no appropriate file name there is no alternative way currently manually change the file name after the downloading the template.
