"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 Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Succession module and open Talent Search.
- Open Advanced Information and navigate to the desired filters.
- Observe that not all filters support multi-selection.
- Go to Manage Business Configuration and find the desired field.
- If there is a Picklist tied to the field, it is possible to select multiple options in Talent Search. If "No Selection" in Picklist, then it is restricted to single-selection
Cause
In Manage Business Configuration, only fields configured as a Picklist are eligible for multi-selection in Talent Search; non-picklist types are single-select.
Resolution
- Open Admin Center and go to Manage Business Configuration.
- Locate the field used in Talent Search that you want to filter by.
- Check the field’s details:
- If it is associated to a picklist, Talent Search supports multi-selection.
- If Picklist is set to "No Selection", only single selection is available in Talent Search
