Detailed Description

We've added a new task checklist setting that requires task observations to be completed by the learner's primary manager. When you enable the Observer Must Be Primary Manager setting for a task checklist, the Search for observers option and Region filter are hidden on the Request Observers page. The observer list is limited to the learner’s primary manager, ensuring that the task observation request can only be sent to them. This behavior applies when administrators act as a proxy for a learner, and when a manager submits a task observation request on behalf of a learner through My Team .

Impact Assessment

This change affects SAP SuccessFactors implementations by introducing updated behavior or new capabilities. Implementation teams should review the change and assess whether configuration adjustments, user training, or regression testing are required. The impact is expected to be minimal and may not require any action.

Test Recommendations
• Test existing workflows and business rules to confirm they trigger correctly with the new behavior. • Test Learning module access and course enrollment after the change. • Test the assignment creation, application, and tracking process in Opportunity Marketplace. • Verify that recommendations and notifications for assignments function correctly.
