Story Reports of People Analytics

The Story Report in Report Center is part of the SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics solution. This report is based on the integration of SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite with SAP Analytics Cloud. It is a presentation-style report that uses charts, visualizations, text, images, and pictograms to describe data. For example, you can create a report that highlights the following:

  • The names of all new hires
  • The status of the new hire in the onboarding process
  • The hiring manager and recruiters involved

A Story Report mainly involves building a query and using the query to create the report.

After you create a story, you can add and edit pages, sections, and elements, as well as share your story with others for them to use.

Story Reports is currently the only standard reporting tool in the SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite that can be used for Onboarding.

Enable Story Reports

Before you can enable Story Reports, you need to complete the following steps:

  • Configure Identity Authentication service and Identity Provisioning service with the SAP SuccessFactors instance.
  • Enable the Report Center on the SAP SuccessFactors instance.
  • Synchronize the users who will access Story Reports in SAP Analytics Cloud.

Note

To learn how to enable and configure an Identity Authentication service, refer to supporting documentation on the SAP Help Portal - Overview of the SAP SuccessFactors and the SAP Cloud Identity Services - Identity Authentication Service Integration.
