Configuring Talent Pool Columns and Filters

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to configure Talent Pool columns and filters.

Configure Talent Pool Columns

The eye icon allows a user to customize the columns displayed on the Talent Pool details screen.

The SAP SuccessFactors 'Sales Talent Pipeline' interface displaying a table of nominees for the pipeline. The table includes columns for Name, Readiness, Status, Job Title, Location, Impact of Loss, and Risk of Loss. The interface includes navigation options for Talent Pools and other features. The table header and options for Approve, Reject, and other actions are visible above the table.

Check the box located next to the field or column you wish to see. Rearrange the columns using the arrows that appear next to the field name when you hover over the field.

To add fields to the Define Column Properties list, navigate to Manage Talent Pool Field Settings in Admin Center. The fields that are available for columns and filters are listed. Select which fields you'd like to have available for the Talent Pool screen.

Filter Talent Pool Data

There are two filters available with Talent Pools to assist with searching the Talent Pool data:

Search the Talent Pools from the main Talent Pool screen.
Search the nominees within a selected Talent Pool.

Searching within the Talent Pools

From the main Talent Pool screen, if you have many Talent Pools, you can choose which ones appear in the list by opening the filter from the top right of the screen. By default, the Talent Pool Code and Name fields are already included as filters, but you can also include other Talent Pool fields to the filter list.

To add additional search fields, the fields must be configured as Searchable Fields in the Talent Pool object:

To navigate to Configure Object Definitions, use the Action Search.
In the first dropdown, select Object Definition and in the second dropdown, select the TalentPool object.
Choose Take Action→Make Correction.
Under Searchable Fields, you can define fields as filters in the Talent Pools page.
Save your changes.

Note

Only fields of data type "picklist," "string," "Boolean," and "date" are supported as filters.

Select the filter icon to open the talent pool filter.

Searching Talent Pool Nominees

After you select a Talent Pool, you can also filter which nominees are shown in the list by selecting the arrow centered above the list of nominees. By default, Readiness and Job Title are selected as filters, but you can add additional fields to filter the nominees.

To add Talent Pool Nomination filters:

Navigate to Manage Talent Pool Field Settings using the Action Search.
Select the fields you’d like to add to the screen. Besides the Division, Department, and Location, configurable fields include employee’s talent flags and 16 custom fields from the employee profile.

Once the fields have been added as filters, from the nominee filter section, select Adapt Filters to add those new fields to the filter screen. After entering the data you’re using to filter the nominees, choose Go to run the search.

From the nominee filter section, select Adapt Filters to add new fields to the filter screen.
