SuccessFactors Report Story templates: Everything you need to know

In a recent 3n Strategy webinar, our Principal Consultant Mike Hoekstra unpacked everything you need to know about using Report Stories templates to build scalable, best-in-class dashboards inside SAP SuccessFactors.

SuccessFactors Report Story templates

Creating powerful SAP SuccessFactors Report Stories dashboards doesn’t have to mean starting from scratch. If you’ve ever found yourself spending hours building Story reports or wondering how to improve adoption of the dashboards you’ve already built, our latest webinar is for you.

In “A Guide to SAP SuccessFactors Report Stories Templates,” we unpack how templates — both from SAP and 3n Strategy — can dramatically accelerate your reporting efforts, improve consistency, and help your teams deliver data that drives decisions. 

Here is a quick breakdown of the problem statements we often hear from SAP SuccessFactors users, and how we answer them in the webinar.

1. “We don’t even know what templates exist.”

If you’re spending hours building SAP SuccessFactors Report Stories dashboards from scratch, this section is a game-changer. Mike shows you:

  • Where to find SAP's official Report Stories templates

  • How to import them into your own environment

  • What kind of insights they offer out-of-the-box

  • Why SAP’s templates aren’t always enough — and what best-in-class looks like

He even demos real examples, including a “Headcount and FTE” dashboard and a custom-built 3n Strategy attrition report used by leading clients.

2. “Our Report Stories dashboards exist — but they aren’t good.”

Are your dashboards overloaded, under-used, or just not helping people make decisions? Then you’ll want to see how 3n Strategy goes beyond data visualisation and focuses on question-driven design.

In the webinar, we cover:

  • How to map real business questions to dashboard pages

  • Ways to clean up and improve user experience (especially for non-analysts)

  • The dashboard design principles we use with global clients

  • How we help teams identify the real questions behind vague data requests

You’ll walk away with an entirely new lens on how to define — and deliver — useful dashboards.

3. “Only one or two people in the team know how to use Report Stories.”

Templates are only valuable if your whole team can work with them.

In the final part of the session, we walk through the training options available to help you and your team:

  • Master Report Stories through our live or virtual workshops

  • Use our Report Stories Template Library

  • Access our exclusive guide platform — with step-by-step visuals to help even occasional users

Whether you’re leading a People Analytics function or managing reporting across multiple regions, you’ll discover options for scalable, repeatable success.
