Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Learning
Reproducing the Issue
- Login to LMS administration
- Navigate to Learning Administration>People>Users
- Search for any User> open the user record
- Some of the fields are displayed within parentheses
Cause
This occurs because there is no description available in LMS for that field. This is the current system behaviour
Resolution
The display format for the fields in LMS is: Description(ID).
For example:
- If the Division ID is 1 and the description is One, the display in LMS will be: Division: One(1)
- If the Division ID is 1 and the description is blank, the display in LMS will be: Division: (1)
