3547735 - Locked column in story report query designer - People Analytics

Symptom

In Story Report in query designer, a lock icon is visible next to some of the fields. When previewing the report, the data is not visible for the columns with the lock icon.
 

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
  • SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Report Center
  2. Create a Story Report
  3. In Query designer a lock icon is visible next to some of the columns

Cause

The lock icon means that the affected user does not have the right permission to access the data in that field. The field is still selectable in the query, however the data will not be visible for that field.
When users run the report, they see the data based on their RBP role.

Resolution

Check and update the data access permissions to the affected user for the particular fields in that module to resolve the issue.
