Integrating CDP and LMS

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to identify the next steps to integrate CDP and LMS.

Actions Needed to Integrate CDP and LMS

Career Development Planning (CDP) is capable of integrating with the SAP SuccessFactors Learning Management System (LMS). However, you must have purchased the CDP and LMS modules as well as engaged with Professional Services for this functionality. Once this implementation is completed, you will have additional capabilities within Admin Center if given the appropriate permissions.

The following screen shows a Development Goal with two Learning Activities: a custom learning activity and one that has been added through an integrated LMS.

The Goal Details page is displayed with two learning activities highlighted.

Admin Center Options that Appear after CDP and LMS Integration

After the integration of CDP and LMS is completed with Professional Services, the administrator will have access to some new or additional features of Admin Center within Permissions and Development.

When navigating to Admin CenterSet User PermissionsManage Permission Roles, select the admin role and edit it. When finished, go to the Administrator Permissions and then Manage Career Development as seen below:

Three options on the Manage Career Development section are highlighted.

Now, you should see some permission options like Manage Learning Activity Catalogs, Manage Learning Activity to Attribute Mappings, and Mapping Learning Activities to Attributes. These permissions are used to maintain the information shared or accessed in the integration.

Summary

  • Career Development Planning integrates with SAP SuccessFactors Learning Management System when both modules are purchased and Professional Services engagement is completed.
  • Integration enables additional Admin Center capabilities and allows Learning Activities to link directly with Development Goals for enhanced career development tracking.
