3287521 - How to Add Validation Messages in Onboarding - Onboarding

Symptom

Can we add validation messages at the designated portlet rather than at the end of PDC step for external users?

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

Resolution

  • Onboarding has multiple data review steps and sometimes there is a requirement when we want some data to be entered mandatorily by the hiring manager/responsible onboarding participant or new hire.
  • This cannot be achieved by marking the fields mandatory at data model level as it makes it mandatory for both hiring manager/responsible onboarding participant or new hire.
  • To avoid this we can make use of rules.
  • An onSave rule can help in doing such validations. 
  • This rule needs to be added at the corresponding entity on Admin > Manage Business Configuration screen.

NOTE: The rule validations will only appear at the end of the submission and will not appear at a specific portlet. onInIt rules cannot be used for validations at a specific portlet, it is recommended to use only onSave rules.
