2913482 - Label is missing after its type was changed from Public to Private - Report Center

Symptom

I changed a Public Label to Private one and now I am not able to see the label anymore.

Note: This article is applicable only to the new Label functionality and UI changes (Reports vs Label) introduced in the b2005 release.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

  • Report Center

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Login to the instance as user A
  2. Access Report Center > Manage Labels
  3. Create a new Public Label. Example – testLabel1
  4. Logout of the instance
  5. Login to the instance as user B
  6. Access Report Center > Manage Labels
  7. Search for and edit testLabel1
  8. Change it to a private Label
  9. User B can no longer see testLabel1
  10. Logout of the instance and log back in as User A again
  11. Only user A is able to see the label now. 

Cause

Working as Expected

Resolution

  • Like Reports, Labels also have the concept of ownership and the names of the corresponding authors of the Labels will be displayed in the 'Labels' view
  • When a Public Label is changed to a private one, the owner of the Label will not be changed
  • As a result, it automatically becomes a Private Label visible only to the Label's original author

If need be, the second user just has to create a new Private Label for themselves.
Note that two users CAN create labels Private labels with the same name.
