Introduction

Edcast SuccessFactors Integration provides the below Functionalities:

User Data Sync through Edcast SuccessFactors HRMS Connector
The HRMS Connector consumes the HXM Suite OData APIs to import user data.
The connector imports the basic profile ( First Name, Last Name, Email Id , Employee Id , Status ) & can also import the custom fields
During onboarding, the connector imports all the users & then has a daily schedule to import new / updated / terminated users
Importing a part of the organisation is also possible via supported credential restrictions on the SuccessFactors side
LMS Integrations through Edcast SuccessFactors LMS Connector
The LMS Connector consumes the SuccessFactors APIs to import content metadata, assignments & completions.
During onboarding, the connector imports all the content metadata & then has a weekly schedule to import new / updated / content
Assignments & Completions are fetched once daily.

Functionality

The connector fetches content from SF once every week. For the courses returned by the SF API (searchItem) , Edcast creates cards.
Unified search and Machine Learning displays relevant courses from SuccessFactors LMS. Simplifying the discovery and access to important training materials.

Users can easily choose a course to learn more about the content
A description of the course from SuccessFactors is displayed and a link directly to the course in the LMS is available.

The link from the EdCast LXP takes the user directly to the course registration page in SuccessFactors.

The course displays for the user in a new window
Once the course is completed in SF , it will be reflected in the users Learning Plan in the LXP

Also, Assignments from SuccessFactors (items returned by the SF API UserTodoLearningItems) for each user are imported to Edcast as the user's assignments

User can then click on the card to go to the standalone view & then click on the link to go to the SuccessFactor Course in order to consume it.
