SAP Knowledge Base Article: Handling Orphaned Pages in Reports

References and Documentation:

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.

To create a report that returns only employees born in 1961 and enable runtime customization:

Option A:

SetDate TypetoAs of Date.

Set theAs of Dateto1/1/1961.

Linked Analysis

Configuring input controls forLinked Analysisallows interactions between components (charts, tables) on the same canvas, enabling filters to apply only to selected visuals.

Why This is Correct

In the scenario, the input control must affect only the charts and not the table. Linked Analysis ensures this targeted filtering behavior.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

B (Create Filters): Manually adding filters is redundant when Linked Analysis can automate the behavior.

C (Enable Cascading Effects): Cascading effects affect hierarchical filters but are unrelated to input control behavior here.

D (Convert to Story Filter): A Story Filter would apply globally, affecting all elements, which is not desired.

Join Types in Queries:

Inner Join:Only returns rows where there is a match in both tables.

Left Outer Join:Returns all rows from the left table and matching rows from the right table, filling in NULLs where there is no match.

Scenario:

Adding the Proxy Information table creates a situation where some records from the Basic User Information table no longer match with Proxy Information.

Changing the join type toLeft Outer Joinensures that all records from the Basic User Information table are included, regardless of matching Proxy Information.

Steps to Adjust Join Type:

Edit the query.

Locate the join between Basic User Information and Proxy Information tables.

Change the join type fromInner JointoLeft Outer Join.
