This enables customers to apply retention policies to permanently delete inactive user’s personal data in all modules including Learning. Essentially its possible for customers to indicate retention policies based on certain parameters like country, status. BizX admin can configure a retention policy and schedule a job periodically to delete learning data for a user.
Why is it important? Data protection and privacy laws mandates to remove user’s personal records if they are no more working with the company.
Prerequisites: Install the DTRM learning package in the BizX upgrade center.
Data Privacy Consent statements inform users that their data is stored and explain why it must be stored when they access SuccessFactors Learning. Admins can now enable a Data Privacy statement in Learning, which requires users to accept it before being allowed to access the system. This applies to External Users (Native or Integrated) and Native Internal Users. During self -registration on a site, s/he must accept the consent statement to create an account.
Why is it important? A legal basis is required to process a user’s personal data. Some users, such as External Users, are not covered by employment contracts and therefore have not consented to a Data Privacy statement.
Prerequisites: Admin workflow: Manage consent statements
This feature provides an additional filter on learning catalog and learning assignments tile to filter out the content that is not mobile enabled, hence assisting learners to search for mobile enabled easily and in a more efficient way.
Why is it important? Enabling mobile users to sort out content which is not mobile enabled will help them to locate and complete mobile enabled content in a more efficient way & enable user to easily determine which of their assignments can be completed or reviewed on the mobile app.
Prerequisites: The “Mobile Access” setting needs to be configured for each item before this flag can appear in Catalog or Item description

This feature enables administrators to schedule an automatic process (Employee enrollment digest) to send a periodic digest of enrollments to the supervisor using a new notification template.
