3533869 - "There's currently no data for you" on a Custom Portlet in the Latest People Profile

Symptom

  • In the latest People Profile, a custom portlet displays the message "There's currently no data for you" even though there is an entry for the user in Manage Data.
  • The custom object have Expand/Collapse functionality configured with the business rule.

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 HCM

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log into the instance.
  2. Navigate to a user's profile in the latest People Profile.
  3. Check the affected custom object portlet. The message "There's currently no data for you" appears.
  4. Navigate to Manage Data. An entry for the user is present.
  5. Check the UI Rule configured in the Custom UI for the Object and see there's a Expand/Collapse functionality expression configured on it.

Cause

The issue arises due to the new UX design of the People Profile, which does not support the Expand/Collapse functionality.

Please notice that the Expand/Collapse functionality will not be supported in the new UX design. The following reasons were provided by our Product Team:

  • The new design for the latest people profile is responsive -- which means it makes use of complete space available on the screen so there is better utilization of the space and form length is reduced. 
  • There are group names on the top which allows user to navigate to specific section rather than scrolling manually.

Resolution

For now, as a workaround, please remove the UI Rule associated with the Custom UI.

This should allow the portlet to be displayed correctly in the Latest People Profile.

A permanent fix will be applied on 06-May-2025 for Preview and on 16-May-2025 for Production.
