Snapshot Succession Preferences - Successor and User Succession Information

Use the Successor and User Succession Information section of the Snapshot Succession Preferences page to select which User fields and SMP Metric fields display for each of the user's successors and for each incumbent and position for which the user has been named a potential successor. Only fields that are set as Read-Only will be displayed in the Succession Information - Incumbent and Succession Information - Position sections. Also, the Succession Information - Incumbent and Succession Information - Position sections are only included on the Succession Snapshot page if they are enabled in the Successor and User Succession Sections section.

  • Values that are displayed in the Succession Information - Incumbent and Succession Information - Position sections are pulled from the most recently saved SMP tasks. If there is no value configured for the field in any saved SMP task, then N/A is displayed for the field.

Changes to this panel apply to both My Team > Succession and Snapshot > Succession. Any fields that are added are applied to user and position successors.

To access Snapshot Succession Preferences, go to Admin > Tools > Core Functions > Universal Profile > Snapshot Succession.
