SAP Fiori Standards Applied to Page Header

[Linda77]

With SAP SuccessFactors 2H 2020 Release we've updated the global page header so that it's consistent with the latest SAP Fiori design standards and to ensure harmonization across the suite. The SAP Fiori 3 header is now opt-out, rather than opt-in, and is enabled by default: WEF-3035 - SAP Fiori Standards Applied to Page Header

This blog post, written by the SAP SuccessFactors Platform Support team which i am a member, is aimed to provide awareness of the visual changes to the page header  effective post 2H 2020 Release. This enhancement primarily impacts customers who use custom themes, particularly themes with a center-aligned logo.

Key Dates of Replacement: 

Before considering opting out, note that we're retiring the legacy page header. Planned retirement date is 1H 2021 when all customer instances are upgraded to the SAP Fiori 3 header and the legacy header is retired. Further details on Key Dates for Replacement available here

How to Opt Out:

 Differences to Note: 

The changes are numbered and illustrated on the Diagram under the Image of How the Header Look Now.
