    Documentation for details

                                

    System show "Error Code: 500" while opening Job info card under Job data Category

    3667335 - Error 500 when accessing Organization Information or Job Information in Latest People Profile- 2H 2025

    Fields are no longer editable for Employee Information on the latest Employee Profile

                            
    3529489 - PPX-Fields are no longer editable for Employee Information on the latest Employee Profile

    Badges card is not available in Full Profile of Latest People Profile.

              
              

    Some Background elements are available in Legacy Configure People Profile but not available in Latest Configure People Profile

            
      

    Amount and Percentage fields are visible in Recurring Pay Component and One-Time Payment portlets in View mode in Full Profile; however these fields are neither visible in Edit mode nor enabled in BCUI

      
    • This is an expected behavior. The field 'value' in BCUI captures both Amount and Percentage, however on the UI, for a better user experience, we have two labels Amount and Percentage. For view use case, both fields are displayed. For Amount based Pay components, Amount field has a value and Percentage is blank. For Percentage based Pay components, Amount field stores the value (copied from another standard field 'Calculated Amount' and Percentage field capture the percentage value. Currently, Full Profile is not supported in Edit mode, hence it follows legacy People Profile behavior. 
    • Refer handbook: Enhancements to Employee Central on the Latest People Profile
      

    Pencil icon is not available for One-Time Deduction portlet in Full Profile, however it's available in legacy People Profile

    Where do I see the % of finished profile (finish your profile)  in Full Profile?

    Full Profile does not support Custom MDF UIs that include Collapsible sections. Even if the UI is added in Configure Latest People Profile, the card is not displayed. Will Custom MDF UIs with Collapsible sections be supported in future?

    This feature is currently unavailable. There is no plan to implement it because we want to adhere to the Latest People Profile design pattern.

    Can we remove Phone / Email icon if we don't need it?

    We cannot remove Phone/Email, but it can be hidden with RBP configuration.

    For Contingent Workers, the label 'Contingent Worker' is shows as green in Full Profile (and Preview/spotlight), but in Org chart, it is displayed as purple color.

    This is currently expected behavior.
