3167528 - Widgets do not respect date filter in Story report [People Analytics]

Symptom

Widgets do not respect date filter in Story report

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
  • People Analytics
  • Story Report

Reproducing the Issue

  1. When editing/running a Story report, choose Story 'Prompt' function.






  2. Change the variable to a different date.





  3. Notice widget not updating the results

Cause

It is due to the widget having a custom variables configured, which does not take Story 'Prompt' into consideration.

Resolution

  1. Click on the 'Prompt' icon visible on the widget




  2. We can see that it is configured as 'Set Chart Variables'.



  3. Once, we switch it to Story Variables, the widget takes the Story 'Prompt' into consideration.







*If we are unable to see the 'Prompt' icon on the widget, it is because it is hidden. We can make it visible by clicking on the three dots to the right of the widget > Show/Hide > Chart Details > Prompts
