SAP SuccessFactors has delivered enhancements and updates across the SAP SuccessFactors® HCM Suite as part of their Q3 2018 product release. Here are a few key updates you should consider for SuccessFactors Learning (LMS).
Learning recommendations enables users to find relevant courses from Learning catalog without needing to search through the catalog
Configuration Type: Admin opt-in
Why is this important? Users can now get relevant and personalized recommendations which are based on their profile, Learning activity and by applying machine learning algorithms. Helps users to maximize relevancy by indicating topics of interest by applying text analysis to the Item Title, Description and subject area to automatically generate topics related to the course.
Prerequisites:
The learning recommendations tile has been enhanced in design to improve user experience. Learning recommendations now also display the item rating and course duration when available.
Configuration Type: Universal
Why is it important? The additional information on the updated tile (Item Rating, Course Duration and Course Description) will enable users to make decisions on relevancy of courses without needing to navigate to the Course Home page.
SAP SuccessFactors is revising our SFTP file retention policy to purge all files stored in SuccessFactors SFTP account(s) after 14 days.
Configuration Type: Universal
Why is it important? This change is being made as part of regulatory compliance requirements (GDPR) and to enhance the security and scalability. Most of the customers utilize SFTP server to store their files or do not purge them on time. It is recommended to remove the files and clean up SAP SFTP server space and host them on their own SFTP servers. Note that iContent account has been excluded from the retention policy as content files will be stored on the server.
Functionality related to user-level competencies, as these should be managed in SuccessFactors platform.The following tools will be not supported:
Configuration Type: Universal
Why is it important? Some set up competency framework in Learning and assign competencies to certain job codes, titles, positions etc. using competency profiles. It is recommended to switch to SuccessFactors Platform Competency portlet instead. The supported usage of Competencies is to create them in SuccessFactors platform and synchronize to Learning using the Competency Connector -SF. Other usage models are not supported. Competencies can be associated with Items in Learning and competency ratings can be recorded by auto-assessment via Learning Event Recorder. The competency assessment data related to learning completions will continue.
