Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HXM Core

Reproducing the Issue

1. Login > homepage
2. Click on custom card that is configured to open mail application in a new window
3. Note that the target is selected as "URL"
4. Observe the mail window pop-up, but the custom card is still loading in the background
5. Even when the pop-up window is closed, the card is still in loading state

Cause

The target is set to URL and the popover is configured with "mailto:xxx" to open up the mail application.

Resolution

  • The best solution for this scenario is to use the target "email" as opposed to "URL" to avoid the issue. As per the guide Creating or Editing Custom Cards for the Home Page - SAP Help Guide, Choose Email as the target behavior to open a new email to specified addresses.
  • For this to work with "URL" as the target, it is necessary to enable the option "Open Link in New Window/Tab" in URL card. This can be updated in Manage Home Page.
