3528687 - Assignment Profile - Search Filter Not Displayed for Certain Attributes in SAP SuccessFactors Learning

Symptom

  • While creating rules, some of the attributes display a Search Filter to select the needed criteria
  • However, for other attributes, the Search Filter is not displayed.
  • For instance, the Search Filter displays while selecting the Security Domain ID Attribute, but does not display for any non-referenced custom fields

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to the assignment profile in SAP SuccessFactors Learning.
  2. Attempt to create rules and select attributes.
  3. Observe that the Search Filter is displayed for some attributes but not for others.
  4. For instance, the Search Filter displays while selecting the Security Domain ID Attribute, but does not display for any non-referenced custom fields

Cause

  • The Search Filter will not be visible if the field is a Custom field and is not referenced.
  • Search filter will also not be visible if the Operator is set to anything Other than 'Matches' or 'Does not Match'

Resolution

  1. Note that the Search Filter will not be visible if the field is a Custom field and is not referenced.
  2. In the above example, observe that Security Domain ID is a standard field and has a list of values (when searched for learning administration > security domains) and hence the search button is visible as values can be searched and selected from the list.
  3. Even for the Custom fields which are referenced, since it is a referenced field a set of predefined values as a list is available and therefore the search button is available as any of them can be searched and selected.
  4. However, for Custom fields which are not referenced, there is no list of pre-defined values. Any free text value can be entered on the user details tab. Therefore, there is no search button since there is no list of specific values for this field.
  5. Ensure that the Matches Operator is selected for the search to be displayed as the other operators like 'Contains' or 'Start with' will not give search filter for even standard fields or custom referenced fields.
