Succession – Matrix Grid

This step-by-step guide walks you through updating permissions and labels in the Succession module’s Matrix Grid worksheet



  1. In your SAP SuccessFactors instance, search for the Matrix Grid reports (Performance / Potential) and review the current granted permissions and label names. Note any differences you will update.

 


 


 

 

  1. Return to the Succession workbook. In the Matrix Grid tab:


  • Set the Processing Status in column B to Pending for the corresponding Processing Report ID.
  • Update the permission values in columns H, I, and J as needed by changing them from False to True (or vice versa) for the relevant rows.


 

 

  • Move past all dividers and navigate to column AO. Create or update the label names in this column as required.

 


 

  • Close the Succession workbook.


  1. Back in CodeBot, click the hamburger menu, and select Start Configuration.

 



 

  1. In the Start Configuration pop-up window: 


  • Enter your SAP SuccessFactors password.
  • Add any execution notes.
  • From Advanced Options, select Matrix Grid.
  • Click Confirm and Start to initiate the process.

 

 



 

  1. Monitor Progress of the Execution:

  1. Wait for the execution to complete. Once Complete, reopen the Succession workbook — the rows that were updated successfully will be highlighted in green, and the Processing Status will display as Processed.

 


 



 

  1. Finally, verify the changes in your SAP SuccessFactors instance: reopen the Matrix Grid reports and confirm that the permissions and labels reflect the updates you made via CodeBot.


 



 

Note: If anything doesn’t appear as expected, check CodeBot execution logs and send us the Tracking Request ID via the chat box in the lower right-hand corner.
