Symptom
In Manage Permission Group > External Onboarding user, when selecting the criteria to include the users in the group, not all expected values are visible for selection.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to Manage Permission Groups
- Create New
- Select User Type External Onboarding User
- From the People category select for example: Location
- Click search and view that some locations are not available
- Same behavior observed for other defaults objects and custom strings fields
Cause
- Cause 1 - No onbordee has been processed already with those values associated.
- Cause 2 - On Manage business configuration > Filters > Details for the HRIS element, there is a "Reference Field" which is cause the values
Resolution
Solution 1:
- Engineering confirmed this is expected behaviour and the system requires someone to be tied to that object for it to appear and be selectable as a filter in permission groups.
- For example: for a location to appear in People Pool a candidate would need to have been processed through Onboarding at least once for that location.
- Another criteria might be selected to suits the company requirements, or a test onbordee initiated associated to that value for location, for example.
Solution 2:
The "Reference Field" value need to be removed (Manage business configuration > Filters > Details for the HRIS element).
Note this is the same section where it is possible to see the "Extend By N Days" option.
