Symptom

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 Succession Planning

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log into the system with a screen reader
  2. In the module picker, select Succession
  3. Select the Talent Pools tab
  4. Select a talent pool
  5. Select the Add Talent Pool Nominee icon
  6. The search icon cannot be selected

Cause

Expected behavior

Resolution

  • The search icon is a decorative icon with no event attached to it. The role="presentation" was added to the icon tag which makes the icon inaccessible.
  • The search field is an autocomplete search box that triggers a search and displays a dropdown list when at least two characters are typed.
