What are the pre-requisites?

Worforce Analytics Product is required.

WFA and Metrics published in your PROD environements. Standard headlines are using Termination - Voluntary metrics, be aware if you do not have the standard metrics set-up, such as the WFA Metrics call "Termination voluntary", our standard headlines cannot be used and you should build your own Headline from Headline Designer.

Additionnal functionalities such as Headlines Tile can be enabled if you are a BizX customer and have link your BizX instance to your WFA Production environement.

What are the limitations?

The core use of Headlines is to show headlines on the SuccessFactors Home Page and in the iPad app.

For this reason, Headlines should be used for log-in users into the SuccessFactors application when accessing to WFA (E.g performancemanager5.successfactors.eu). This is NOT supported when log in directly to WFA such as "Prod" or "Preview" environement ( e.g https://analytics012.successfactors.com).

Of course, you can still design your headlines directly in WFA however running it will require permissions that need SuccessFactors permissions.
