Workforce Performance Builder questions

[Former Member]

Hi all. I had a conversation with a client today who is interested in WPB. He had a few questions I wasn't sure how to answer, which I listed below:

1) Can WPB profiles be customized to match any software? Currently WPB does a great job of pulling in captions and buttons from MS Office and SAP. Our client is in the healthcare space though and was wondering if we could create a profile specific to EPIC software.

2) How are users typically brought in to Manager? I know there's the option to import Excel files; below that is an option to "ldap import and sso set up." How would that work? Specifically the client asked if they could use an Active Server Directory to manage their users.

Thanks for any help in advance

Hi Stephen,

1) Can WPB profiles be customized to match any software? Currently WPB does a great job of pulling in captions and buttons from MS Office and SAP. Our client is in the healthcare space though and was wondering if we could create a profile specific to EPIC software.

Yes, we can generate profiles for all applications including AS400 or very old DOS based application.

Please keep in mind, application profile is an additional service and needs to be delivered by SAP direct.

In case you like to push context sensitive help to your users, its maybe limited.

The official supported applications you will find in the Help.

Please let me know when you need help in this scenario.

2) How are users typically brought in to Manager? I know there's the option to import Excel files; below that is an option to "ldap import and sso set up." How would that work? Specifically the client asked if they could use an Active Server Directory to manage their users.

Typically different scenarios possible:4

Company Member login via AD Account which is maintained by the IT department,

Contractor using self-registration or Excel import.

I have implemented many times the full solution, most of the customer using AD import.

Please let me know you are SAP employee or external.

Maybe you will join one of our consultant enablement courses.

Thanks Thomas! Those are the answers I was hoping for. I work for Teksoft Ventures, and we're a training partner with SAP. I attended a WPB course a couple years ago, and I was signed up to come to a WPB implementation course in January. They ended up canceling the course though when they didn't get enough registrations.

Hi Thomas,

Is there a guide on how to implement SSO between SAP WPB and Active Directory?

I couldn't find anything on help.sap.com
