# Performance Management H1 2021 - Link: https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/performance-management-h1-2021/ - Published: 2021-07-23T03:59:23+00:00 - Author: Anipe Abraham Performance Management H1 2021 , Release provides exciting innovations across Performance Management H1 2021 that can help you transform your HR operations, increase employee engagement, and deliver results. Don’t miss out on all the great innovations and [enhancements](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/sap-successfactors-sample-videos/). Here are a few key updates you should consider for Performance Management H1 2021. ## **H1 – 2021 Release Schedule** * Preview Release – **April 16 , 2021** * Production Release – **May 21 , 2021** ## 1.Separate Email Notification About Document Transfer After you import or update users, if document transfer happens, you [now receive](https://www.anipeabraham.com/sap-successfactors-training-videos/) a separate email notification about document transfer results, including lists of users whose forms have been transferred or failed to transfer. This enhancement resulted from the separation of two system jobs: user import and document transfer, which aims to improve system performance. ## What’s Changed In the current version, you receive two email notifications about user import or update and document transfer results respectively. In the previous version, you received only one email notification about user import or update results, which [included](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/successfactors-onboarding-h1-2020/) document transfer results. ## Technical Details | Reference Number | PMU-13529 | | Type | Changed | | Configuration Type | Universal | | Lifecycle | General Availability | | Module | Performance and Goals | | Feature | Email Notifications | | Major or Minor | Major | | Software Version | 1H 2021 | ## 2. Feedback Integration with Microsoft Outlook This feature is no longer available for 1H 2021. We have left the topic so that you can see what was planned, though the feature has been removed. We included the technical details and retained the available date, so that you can see when it was originally [planned](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/sap-successfactors-employee-central-q2-2019-1905/). We’re working to add this feature and will update this topic when we do. As of now, however, it is not available. ## Configuration Requirements * The latest version of Continuous Performance Management is enabled. * You’ve selected E**nable Continuous Feedback Outlook Integration on the Continuous Performance Management** Configuration view and then choose Save Configuration to allow downloading a manifest file. Additional steps are required to customize that file before using the file with the Microsoft Exchange server. Once those steps are completed, configure the Microsoft Exchange server and then push this feature to all end users. * Mapping SAP SuccessFactors user attributes to Microsoft Active Directory.

CPM supports the same Attachments function on SAP SuccessFactors web and mobile apps, but between iOS and Android SAP SuccessFactors Mobile apps, the file types that can be directly previewed differ: * In the Android app, you can preview PDF files and images but you need a third- party tool to open other types of files. * In the iOS app, you can preview all the supported file types except PPT files. ## Technical Details | Reference Number | MOB-49100 | | Type | New | | Configuration Type | Admin Opt-in | | Lifecycle | Early Adoption | | Module | Performance and Goals | | Feature | Mobile ApplicationsContinuous Performance Management | | Major or Minor | Major | | Software Version | 1H 2021 | | Valid as Of | 2021-05-26 | ## 4.
