Additional Data Collection mdfSystemExternalUserVisibility field

[DG1]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently learning SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding (former ONB 2.0) and need your help, please.

Chapter 5 "Additional Data Collection" describes a process that I can't do in the demo system. It is about "procedure to Create a Business Rule to make External Users Visible in Metadata Framework".

Especially:

4. Click Details associated with mdfSystemExternalUserVisibility field

5. Select Editable from the dropdown menu for Visibility

--> I can't set to "editable" because the system displays an error message:

"It is not authorized to change visibility of mdfsystemExternalUserVisibility to Editable, as this a system field."

I can't (therefore) perform the following step:

"12. Set the Then condition as mdfSystemExternalUserVisibility to be equal to Yes."

--> mdfSystemExternalUserVisibility does not appear at all, I can not select it.

And this step will also be necessary on the next pages.

What can I do? Where is the error?

Thank you and best regards,

Dilek

Hi dilek ,

You are looking at the procedure and not the exercise correct?

That is actually one way to configure the visibility of a custom object created for the Additional Data Collection step in the Onboarding process. An easier method to look at is available on the course and for this: Please follow the lengthy exercise instead.

The whole exercise will give you a very good picture of what is needed for the "whole/full configuration" of the Additional Data Collection Step from beginning to end as it requires multiple procedures not just steps.

If you have any further questions on the content, please feel free to tag me on your next response but it is great that it appears you have a demo instance to work with to apply what you are learning from the course using the exercises.

Best regards,

Mark

Hi @mark.tristan.ayson,

thank you very much for your answer. However, I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you mean by your statement:

"An easier method to look at is available on the course and for this: Please follow the lengthy exercise instead....... "The whole exercise...., etc."

Is there any other learning material with exercises or a longer version of the learning material for SAP SF Onboarding?

I learn the whole learning material for SAP SF Onboarding (chapter 1-12) on learning hub. Not just chapter 5.

And the steps in chapter 5 can't be done in the system. That is my concern, so why it can't be done or how it can be done.

Thanks a lot and best regards
