Guide to LMS UI 5 Navigation Changes

Successfactors has rolled out its new HTML UI 5 Navigation interface to replace FLASH as FLASH component will be removed from LMS Successfactors on 20^th November 2020. At present I am working on the new UI and I have observed lot of changes in new UI component of LMS. Currently UI interface is deployed in preview instance of SAP Successfactors. Business users can navigate through both FLASH and HTML UI in preview instance.

We can log on to HTML UI 5 component in Successfactors by going to Home > Admin Centre > Learning Administration> Home.

Select Use the updated Learning Administration application here as shown in screen shot below.

HTML UI 5 Screen will appear as below

In New UI menu has moved to Left side under Home.

There are few terminology changes from Flash component to HTML UI 5 component. Terminology has been improved by SAP Successfactors for clarity, consistency, and allignment across the SAP Successfactors suite.

For example, Items are now called as Courses.  Schedule offerings are called as Classes.
