Understanding the Query Designer Expression SyntaxIn SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics Query Designer, conditional expressions are used to transform or relabel fields based on logical conditions. These expressions rely on specific syntax that must be adhered to strictly. The issue in this scenario arises from the use of an incorrect separator in the conditional statement.

Analyzing the Given ExpressionThe expression provided:

IF([User#BasicUserInformation#Gender]="M" , "Male" : "Female")

contains a colon (:) as the separator between "Male" and "Female". However, the correct syntax requires the use of acomma (,)instead of the colon.

Correct Syntax Format for Conditional ExpressionsThe correct format for conditional expressions in SAP SuccessFactors People AnalyticsIF(Condition, Value_if_True, Value_if_False)

Applying this to the provided example, the correct expression should be:

IF([User#BasicUserInformation#Gender]="M", "Male", "Female")

Root Cause of the ErrorThe colon (:) is not recognized as a valid syntax separator in the Query Designer's conditional expression format. As a result, the formula cannot be computed, and an error is generated.

Resolving the IssueReplace the colon (:) with a comma (,), ensuring the conditional expression adheres to the correct syntax. The updated expression would look like this:

IF([User#BasicUserInformation#Gender]="M", "Male", "Female")

ValidationOnce corrected, the expression can be tested in Query Designer to confirm it computes without errors and provides the expected output.

Option A: The MDF object must be associated with a schema as aroot objectto ensure the data structure is accessible in the reporting layer.

Option C: TheexternalCodefield must have the correct data type, such asGeneric Object, to ensure proper data mapping.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

B: MDF objects can be linked to other schemas; this does not affect their reportability.

D: The externalCode does not necessarily need to be of datatype User for the custom block to be reportable.

Row Level Permissions Overview:

In SAP SuccessFactors Table Reports, row-level permissions control which rows of data a user can access based on their role-based permissions (RBP).

These permissions depend on the combination of the user’sView permissions(fields they are allowed to see) andTarget Population(the subset of employees they are authorized to access).

How It Works:

The system evaluates both the target population and the view permissions to determine the rows visible to the user in a table report.

For example, if a manager has access to employees in their team but no view permissions for compensation fields, the data rows related to compensation will not be visible.

When a user cannot see a table report in the Report Center list, the issue typically stems from insufficient role-based permissions (RBP) granted to the user for accessing reports in that domain. Specifically:

Understand Role-Based Permissions (RBP):

In SAP SuccessFactors, reports and analytics visibility is governed by RBP settings. These settings ensure that users only see the reports and data they are authorized to access.

Permissions are categorized into domains such as "Employee Central," "Performance Management," etc.

Key Permissions for Reports in the Report Center:To view or run reports in Report Center, users need:

Run Report Access: This allows users to execute reports for domains they are permitted to access.

Create Report Access: This enables users to create or modify reports.

Manage Tiles and Dashboards Access: This is necessary for interacting with dashboards and tiles, not table reports specifically.

Access to Insights: This refers to viewing analytic insights and does not directly impact table report visibility.

Diagnosing the Issue:

The given scenario describes a user being unable to view a shared table report.

The most likely cause is the absence ofRun Report access to the domainassociated with the table report.

Without this permission, the system restricts the user from running or even viewing the report, even if it has been shared with them.

Steps to Resolve:

Navigate to Admin Center→Manage Permission Roles.

Select the permission role assigned to the user in question.

ClickPermissions→Reports Permissions.

Verify that theRun Report Permissionis granted for the specific domain associated with the shared report.

If not, enable this permission and save the changes.

Test Access:

After updating the permissions, the user should be able to view the table report in the Report Center.

Pivot Chart Creation Process

To build a pivot chart based on a list report with a run-time filter, the filter must first be added to ensure the data being visualized reflects the selected filter criteria.

Explanation of Correct Answer

A pivot chart dynamically organizes and summarizes data. Adding the run-time filter beforehand ensures the chart is based on the filtered dataset.

Creating the chart after applying the filter allows for a more accurate representation of the desired data.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

A: Filter groups are unrelated to this scenario.

B: Creating the chart before the filter would lead to inaccurate results.

C: While adding the filter first is correct, the chart must be created after this step.

Average (C):

Aggregating numerical data (e.g., computing the average of a numeric field) is supported in calculated columns.

Ownership and Sharing of Canvas Reports

Reports are owned by the user who created them. If User A leaves, the report sharing settings must be updated to give User B edit permissions.

Solution

By updating the report's sharing settings to include User B, you allow them to modify the report while maintaining appropriate security.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

A (Access All Reports): Grants excessive permissions and is not recommended.

C (Edit Role Configuration): Role configuration changes apply broadly, not specifically to this report.

D (Edit Authorship): Changing authorship is not a valid option in SuccessFactors.

Report Transfer (A):

The Report Transfer tool is specifically designed to move reports from one instance (test) to another (production).

Report Center (D):

Reports can also be exported and imported manually using the Report Center if the report type supports it.

Job Completion Notification:

When theJob Completion Notificationis enabled for a scheduled job, the scheduling user (User A) receives an email notification once the report distribution process is complete.

In SAP SuccessFactors Report Distributor, scheduled bundles are used to deliver reports to predefined destinations. The valid destinations include:

Run Offline (C):

This option allows reports to be generated and stored in the "My Jobs" section of the user who scheduled the report.

It is particularly useful for large reports that take time to generate.

FTP (D):

Reports can be sent directly to an external server using FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

This requires configuring FTP server details in the system before scheduling the bundle.

E-Mail (E):

Reports can be sent to recipients via email as attachments.

You need to specify valid email addresses during report scheduling.
