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 Employee Profile 

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to Configure Latest People Profile
  2. Background Information > Create Card > Custom background Element > no Element Name

Cause

This is due to configuration issue.

Resolution

  • Login user locale is en_uk (say), and in the data model, the en_gb labels are currently empty. 
  • To resolve this, please choose one of the following:
    • Fill in the right label in the   <label xml:lang="en-GB">label needed</label> OR
    • Delete the whole label tag if you are comfortable with the fallback. In that case, it will fall back to the company locale label or the default label.
