3574192 - "Team members have overdue training. Send a reminder" value is higher than the number of direct reports

Symptom

In the Learning Home Page, a user sees a message stating "X team members have overdue training. Send a reminder", while X is higher than the number of direct reports the manager has.

Example: A manager sees "10 team members have overdue training. Send a reminder", while he only has 2 direct reports.

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 Learning

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log in to Learning as the affected manager >
  2. Observe the message regarding overdue training for team members below the Home Page header.

Cause

The discrepancy is due to a configuration in the administration side that stipulates how many levels of reports the manager will see in their My Team/Team View. The amount of users pulled by the manager-triggered overdue training reminder comes from the same property.

Resolution

  1. Navigate to Learning Administration > System Administration > Configuration > System Configuration > Edit LMS_ADMIN >
  2. Search for reportingLevelsToDisplay

# This value is the number of reporting levels down displayed to a user and
# should be an integer equal to or greater than 0. 
# Default: 0
# Example:
#   If set to 0, the user will see all direct and indirect subordinates.
#   If set to 1, the user will see their direct reports only.
#   If set to 2, the user will see their direct reports and direct reports reporting into their direct reports and so on
reportingLevelsToDisplay=0

If set to 0, the user will see all direct and indirect subordinates, leading to the discrepancy between their organizational chart and My Team/Team View. 

By adjusting the configuration to set the reporting level to 1, the user will only see their direct reports. Similarly, the manager-triggered overdue training reminder will only display the exact number of direct reports.

Verify the change by logging in as the affected employee and checking My Team/Team View.
