Detailed Description

Users can now add custom attributes as search options in Talent Search, in addition to skills and competencies. The Add dialog now shows the 50 most recently created attribute types that each contains at least one attribute. Users can drill down into an attribute type to select specific attributes or use the search bar to find attributes by name. In the talent search results page, they can then view the name and proficiency level of custom attributes that an employee has, and compare employees side by side.

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 skills search, assignment, and display in affected modules (People Profile, Growth Portfolio, Career Worksheet). • Verify that skills-based recommendations and filters function correctly. • Test role-based permissions for affected roles to ensure correct data access after the change. • Validate that no unintended data exposure occurs with the new permission settings.
