SF People Profile

  • People Profile page is organized into sections, subsections, and blocks. Related information is grouped together in "blocks" and appears directly on the page background.
  • The People Profile includes a configurable page header that displays the profile photo and basic information about an employee.
  • The People Profile page is made up of the ‘profile header’ and one or more profile ‘sections’. Each section consists of one or more ‘subsections.’ Each subsection, in turn, consists of either one or two ‘blocks.’

  • Some blocks are predefined and are not configurable, such as the Succession block, while other blocks are customizable and allow you to configure which data to display, such as User Info or Background blocks.

  • Most blocks take up one column of a two-column subsection. So, in most cases, you can fit two blocks in each subsection. Some blocks, such as Badges or Skills, take up the full width of the subsection.

  • People Profile is configured using both Admin Center and the Succession Data Model. The Succession Data Model is an XML file.
  • Admin Center. Arranges the layout.
  • Data Model. Defines the Standard Elements used in the People Profile. Defines custom filtering fields (if applicable)
  • the XML Data Model contain three primary elements:

  • Standard Elements: Used to define the fields and labels used in the Employee Profile.

  • Background Elements: Used to define data field mappings to the SM_Background table.

  • Custom Filters: Used to turn one or more of the 15 custom fields into a filter that can be used in the system for tasks, such as reporting.
