3577220 - MDF UI misalignment when using grid format

Symptom

When the "grid" option is selected for "layout" in Manage Configuration UI, the data appears misaligned from the header in the Manage Data: the header is towards the left and the data is on the right.

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. Navigate to Manage Data and search by the object 
  2. From the session selected as "grid" in Manage Configuration UI, see there is a misalignment

Cause

This is caused by fields with visibility set to "no" in Manage Configure UI. Hidden fields are not supported by the grid format in UI and may cause misalignment in data. 

Resolution

To correct the misalignment, please ensure no fields are set to have visibility "no" in Manage Configuration UI. If there are fields that shouldn't appear in the UI, you can set them as "not visible" in the object and/or remove them from the UI.
