In an effort to provide clarity, consistency, and alignment across the SAP SuccessFactors suite, the LMS terminology is being improved. These changes are intended to bring new insights, clearer administrator workflows and a simpler interface and will be available with the Preview Release on both the current and new Learning Administration interface.
Reports Impact: The new terminology will be reflected on out-of-the box reports with the Preview Release. Custom reports which utilize the application label IDs and not custom created label IDs, will be impacted by the terminology change.
