- Show Full Name in History Pages
Users previously had difficulty finding out who made the change solely by their user name in the History page. But now SuccessFactors has made it easy for users by showing the full name of the person who made the change along with the user name in the “Last modified” field of the “History section” for the below pages:
-
- Job Information
- Job Relationships
- Compensation Information
- Personal Information
- Dependents
- Addresses
- Synchronize Data from Work Order to Job Information
Manual steps has been reduced – Yes!! Manual steps are no longer required in updating the job information of contingent workers when there is a change in their work order.
Now Synchronization is automatic between the work order and job information for the common data of contingent workers. This can be achieved by creating a business rule while adding a new work order or modifying an existing work order.

- Check Tool for Contingent Workforce Management
New checks have been created to help users identify and resolve potential configuration and data issues with the contingent workforce management application.
To save time and effort, a few checks have been added to highlight issues related to application configuration and contingent worker data along with resolution tips to help users resolve them by themselves.

- Export and Import of Corporate Data Model Information
The Corporate Data Model can be now be imported and exported from the Admin center. Users can incorporate their changes in the exported XML and import them back in from the Admin Center.
This includes Country or Region-Specific Corporate Data Model. This removes the need to do the Import/Export of the CDM on the provisioning side.

- Rule Contexts During Import
Now while importing a data model, the original values of the rule contexts will be preserved. Previously when users imported a data model by default, all rule contexts were reset to Yes.

- Accept or Reject Auto Delegation Requests
SuccessFactors has now offered the chance to users whether they wish to accept or reject delegation request. Users can now respond to auto delegation requests on a new tab called “Delegation Requests for Me”. Workflows are delegated to them only when they have chosen to accept the request.

- Specify Start Time and End Time of Auto Delegation
Delegators will now be able to choose a period for the auto-delegate to remain effective. Users have the option to choose the start date and end date when they configure the delegation.
During the specified period, the workflows will be triggered automatically for the delegates to approve. When the “end date” has been reached, the auto delegation feature will turn off automatically and hence no manual work is required to turn it off.
- Customizable Key Details on the My Workflow Requests Page
An enhancement has been made to include the custom key details for workflows in the “My Workflow Requests (Advanced To-do)” page.
Now workflow decisions can be made by seeing the summary without having to open the workflow detail page for position workflows.

The SAP SuccessFactors Mobile apps now support the following Time Sheet custom fields: Date, Boolean, Number, Decimal, and String.
This feature creates better alignment between the iOS and Android Mobile apps and the web application.
- New Rehire Event Reason for Replication of Employee Master Data
A new event reason has been created that supports the scenario where an employee is rehired after termination. Job information records will be extracted from the rehire date with PSEUDO_REHIRE event reason.
