Exclude lower-level roles from recommendations based on a custom field: Exclude lower-level roles from role recommendations by selecting a number-type custom field as the role-level indicator. When enabled, roles with a lower numeric value than the employee’s current role are excluded from recommendations. This applies to:
- Suggested Roles in Legacy Career Worksheet
- Latest Career Worksheet:
- "Personalized path" roles on the Career Paths tab of the Explore Recommended Roles page in Growth Portfolio.
- Top Matches section on the Recommended Roles tab of the Explore Recommended Roles page in Growth Portfolio.
- Opportunity Marketplace when Suggested Roles is the role recommendation source:
- Explore Career Options section.
- Recommended for You section in the Home tab of the SAP SuccessFactors app in Microsoft Teams.
Manage Learning Without Write Permission for Development Goals: Allows users to manage learning items in the latest Development Goals even when they have only read access to the development goal fields. When enabled, users with read access to development goals and permission to manage learning can add learning from SAP SuccessFactors Learning or create and link custom learning to development goals. Previously, users needed write permission for at least one goal field to manage learning.
This setting enables authorized users to align learning with development goals without violating compliance requirements, improving consistency between Learning and Career Development modules and reducing process gaps.
