Configuring the Succession People Profile Cards

Four cards are available for configuration within the Latest People Profile that list succession information.

• Nominations: Allows you to view the positions or role-person combinations that an employee has been nominated to, and add, edit, or delete nominations for an employee (depending on permissions).
• Talent Pool Nominations: Allows you to view the talent pools that an employee has been nominated to, and add, edit, or delete talent pool nominations for an employee (depending on permissions).
• Successors: Allows you to view the successors to the position and add, edit, or remove successors to the position of an employee. If the employee holds more than one position, multiple cards are displayed.
• Role-Associated Talent Pools: Allows you to view the talent pools associated with the role of an employee.

Each card can be configured through Configure Latest People Profile.
