Navigating the Home Page

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to navigate the SAP SuccessFactors Home Page.

Home Page User Experience

The Home page is the default start page of the SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite.

For employees, the Home page is the main entry point to the SAP SuccessFactors application and generally the first page they see after logging in. It shows pending tasks, highlights recent activities, and helps take action quickly.

The Home page user experience was redesigned in 2020 to make it simpler to use and added the following features:

  • Dynamic, individualized content for the user
  • Access to frequent or important actions
  • Custom content for the organization
  • A consistent experience on all devices, both on the Web and in our mobile app
  • A banner image for branding
  • A simplified administration experience
This screenshot shows the Home Page for the SAP SuccessFactors system, typically the first page users see after logging in.

Home Page – Favorites

  • Custom links can be added to the 'Favorites' Quick Action on the latest Home page.
  • You can configure one or more target groups who can see each link.
  • You can also add a localized link name and description for each language in the system.
This screen shows the 'Favorites' Quick Action screen which can be accessed from the Home Page.

Home Page – For You Today

The section For You Today contains system-generated helpful and engaging content according to predefined business logic. Content is ordered by urgency and value and then adjusted based on the engagement with it.

This screenshot shows the 'For You Today' section on the Home Page.

Home Page – From Your Organization

Custom content can be made visible to target audiences at specific times. It usually appears in the Organization Updates section. You can activate a card by choosing anywhere on the card.

Custom cards can display third-party content, such as videos or custom JavaScript. Administrators can also set the order of custom cards.

Home Page Manager Experience

The Home page gives managers several options.

The 'Manage My Team' Quick Action enables managers to review information about their team and take necessary action.

To-Do Alerts and Panel

With the Home page, you can also see To-Do alerts at the top of every page, indicated by a checkmark icon. The icon shows the number of pending to-do items you have.

You can click the icon on any page to open a To-Do panel on the side of the page. The To-Do panel shows you all your to-do items and allows you to take action from any page without navigating to the Home page.
