Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Login to the instance
  2. Go to the Organizational Updates section and click a custom card 
  3. Observe that the linked content opens embedded at the bottom of the same screen.
  4. Click the Close button below the embedded content and observe that it does not respond.

Cause

Custom cards are configured to use an external JavaScript URL. The behavior results from custom JavaScript code, which is customer-owned and not supported by SAP support.

Resolution

  1. Check whether the affected custom card is configured with the JavaScript URL option.
  2. Review and update the custom JavaScript so it works with the latest Home Page, or change the card to a supported option that does not rely on custom JavaScript.
  3. Save the configuration and test the card to confirm the link opens as intended and that the Close action works.
  4. Be aware that we do not provide support for issues that result from custom JavaScript code. Please check this documentation in reference for the scope limitation of this topic (Creating or Editing Custom Cards for the Home Page | SAP Help Portal )
