3749082 - "As of" field overlaps in Company Structure Overview at Certain Screen Widths and Languages - SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Symptom

  • The "As Of" field is not properly adjusted in Company Structure Overview when the UI language is French, Portuguese or any other with a larger value, causing labels/values to overlap at certain screen widths.
  • In some views, the title/label of the next field overlaps a search field, preventing the drop-down from opening.
  • The issue does not reproduce in English where the label is shorter.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Put the system language to a value where "As of" is bigger, like French or Portuguese.
  2. Navigate to Company Structure Overview.
  3. Open the details panel.
  4. Resize the browser window (change the screen width).
  5. Observe that the "As Of" field text overlaps adjacent elements; similarly, the label of the next field can overlap a search field and block the drop-down from opening.
  6. Switch the UI language to English and observe that the overlap does not occur.

Cause

A display-related UI behavior at specific screen widths combined with longer localized labels (for example, in French or Portuguese) causes overlapping of labels/fields in the Company Structure Overview.

Resolution

  1. Resize the browser window by increasing or decreasing the screen width until the fields render correctly and the overlap disappears.
  2. If this behavior impacts users, consider submitting an enhancement request through the standard process, as engineering does not plan a technical fix for this scenario.You can do this on our Customer Community Portal at http://community.successfactors.com/.
