Setting up People Profile

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to explain People Profile navigation and the structure.

People Profile

The People Profile allows you to view and edit your own or others’ information collected from various SAP SuccessFactors solutions, including Employee Central, Learning, Performance and Goals, and Compensation. With People Profile, a person's entire profile is stored on one simple, consolidated page and you can take immediate action. You can quickly find the most important or most recent information and drill down to see more detail when needed.
