3801907 - Executive Review read-only column displays different auto width than editable view

Symptom

  • In Executive Review, a custom text column (for example, "Justification") shows different auto width between users with edit access and users with read-only access.
  • With edit access, the full text is visible to facilitate data entry; with read-only access, the column renders differently and the text display/width changes, especially when the worksheet is in the Completed step.

Environment

  •  SAP SuccessFactors Compensation

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Ensure compensation worksheets are launched and at the Completed step.
  2. In Compensation, open Executive Review for the relevant compensation plan.
  3. Access as a user with edit permission for the text column (for example, "Justification") and observe the column width and text display.
  4. Access as a user with read-only permission for the same column and observe the column displays differently (auto width/text visibility differs from the editable view).

Cause

  • This is expected system behavior by design: Executive Review renders text columns differently based on the user's permission (edit versus read-only).

Resolution

  1. This behavior is by design and no change is required.
