Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HCM
Reproducing the Issue
- Log into the instance.
- Navigate to Configure People Profile and select an existing category or create a new one.
- Click on Add Card and for the Object Type, select Custom MDF Object.
- Observe that some of the custom objects are not visible.
- Under Custom MDF Object picklist, there are other custom MDF objects that are not visible on the picklist.
Cause
As a prerequisite for Custom MDF Object in the Latest People Profile, Custom MDF Objects must be marked as Secured = Yes on the object definition. Documented here on MDF Configurations for Latest People Profile:
- If objects are already marked as secured no action is needed but if the object isn't marked as secured please change those and grant permission to the users accordingly
Resolution
Ensure that the custom object is set as Secured = Yes in the Configure Object Definition page.
