Configure SuccessFactors Catalog and Assignment Profiles

By default, the connector imports all content into the same SuccessFactors catalog, EXTERNAL. To ensure the catalog is configured and an assignment profile is assigned correctly, please complete the following steps. If you choose to import the content into another catalog, please inform your Skillsoft Technical team so that they can modify the item data file. If you have specific questions about your catalog and assignment profile strategy in SuccessFactors, please see the SAP Help Portal or inquire with SAP support.
