You can configure several features of SAP SuccessFactors using Company System and Logo Settings. These settings apply to all users in your organization. Although this may seem similar to permissions, you are not actually granting or revoking access to areas of the software, you are simply turning features on or off for your users.
Changing company system settings is simple. From Admin Center, navigate to Company Settings → Company System and Logo Settings. Once there, you have many settings to work with, and changing them is as simple as checking/unchecking the appropriate box.
Commonly Used Company System Settings
| Settings | Description |
Allow Manager Access to a Document’s Revision History | As forms are modified and moved through the workflow in SAP SuccessFactors, an audit trail is created. With this option selected, only the manager can view the FULL history of changes on the form, and employees are only able to see the history of their own changes. |
| Disable Product Feedback in Page Header | Users can take part on a survey on certain pages, about 3–5 times a year, if this setting is enabled. |
| Disable Proxy Access for Users without Proxy Rights | If your company chooses to only let administrators make proxy assignments, this option should be selected. If you wish to allow users to assign their own proxies, leave this unchecked. That is, users will be able to assign their own proxies. |
| General Display Name Enabled by Default for New Customers | If that option is enabled and you’ve configured the Name Format for General Display field in Legal Entity and enabled the Enable the name format selected in Configure People Profile to apply globally, you can now see the name format that you’ve configured on UI pages of features that have adopted general display name in Learning as well. |
| Enable Case-Insensitive Usernames (Note: After you enabled case-insensitive usernames, this option will grey out, and you can not disable it anymore.) | With this setting it is possible to manage the case sensitivity of usernames in your company system. You can also ensure a smoother integration with SAP Identity Authentication Service (IAS) or other third parties that don't use case-sensitive usernames. |
| Enable fuzzy search function for People Search | Fuzzy search allows users to find an employee by a search term that has one-character difference from the target employee name. |
| Enable HTML E-mail Notifications | This allows SAP SuccessFactors to send for-matted messages to users. This message is also sent in Plain Text so it can be read by mobile users or by users who have not al-lowed HTML messages. |
| Enhanced screen reader support and keyboard navigation. | Special settings make the SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite easier for some people to use, according to their personal needs. If this setting is enabled, the two options are always enabled (so ready to use) in the name menu/settings/accessibility. |
Everyone Can Access a Document's Revision History | As forms are modified and moved through the workflow in SAP SuccessFactors, an audit trail is created. With this option selected, all roles who participated in form actions can access the full history of changes on the form. |
| Hide Global Navigation Menu (Module Picker) | This option allows to hide the Global Navigation menu from the common header area of your SAP SuccessFactors system. This enables you to make your SuccessFactors system more consistent with other SAP Cloud solutions. |
Integration with Outlook Calendar | This allows users to add reminders associated with goals and forms to their Outlook Calendar directly from SAP SuccessFactors by selecting an e-mail icon. |
Show Custom Relationships in Company Organization Chart (for Company Organization Chart, Home Page, and Mobile People Profile) | If you have imported matrix or customer managers and set "ORG_CHART_DISPLAY" to "TRUE" for those managers, after you enable this option, matrix and custom relationships display in the Company Organization Chart, Home Page, and People Profile. To learn how to import matrix and custom managers, you can look at the Managing User In-formation guide from the SAP Help Portal. |
| Show inactive user in people search (requires Role-based Permissions) | Both inactive and active users appear in the search results for different module pages when "Show inactive user in people search (requires Role-based Permissions)" is enabled. |
| Show icons and use alphabetical order in the main navigation menu | If enabled the main navigation menu will appear in an alphabetical order and show icons. |
