PICKLISTS

1) Admin Tools > Picklist Management > Picklists

Options available are:
a) Export data format.
b) Export all picklist(s).
c) Import picklist(s).

2) You cannot create and modify picklists at the same time.

3) Each CSV file must be new picklists or modified picklists, not both.
4) Ideally you should export the existing picklists to verify whether or not a
picklist exists already before uploading or modifying a picklist.

Modifying Picklists:

Admin Tools > Picklist Management > Picklists

Select "Export all picklist(s)".

Click Submit. Save and open the CSV file. Remove any picklists which are correct
and you do not wish to modify. Make any and all changes to the picklists which you
do wish to modify. Leave OptionIDs as is for existing options, but blank for new
options. Save changes to the picklist file.

Select "Import Picklist". Choose the CSV file to import.

Select "No" to indicate that this file will modify existing picklists.

Click Submit to upload the file.

Note:
The Option ID must be retained for any existing picklist values. This ID is an internal
reference.
Any New picklist values being added must have an Empty Option ID (so the system
will recognize them as new). The order picklist values render in is determined by the order
they are imported in, NOT by the OptionID value.

WARNING:
When setting a value to OBSOLETED, if you have duplicate records, and you are
wanting to obsolete one of these records, set the OLDEST (the record with smallest
OptionID) record to OBSOLETED, leaving the most recent record as ACTIVE.
Failure to do so can lead to the Employee Profile displaying the ID value of the
obsoleted record as it is the most recent, instead of the title as would be wanted.

Can I modify an existing picklist entry value from OBSOLETED or DELETED back
to ACTIVE ?
Yes you can by following the same principles as you would for any picklist
modification.

Can We Permanently Delete Picklists?

The SuccessFactors Application does not have any option to remove or purge picklist
items physically from the system other than marking with DELETED or
OBSOLETED. That is only supported option, and there is no option to completely
delete unwanted values.
