Overview

HCM Cloud applications have two types of patches you can receive that are documented in this What’s New:

• Release Updates (20A, 20B, 20C, and 20D)
• Optional Monthly Maintenance Packs to each update

It is important for you to know what Release Update your environment is on. You can find this in your Cloud Portal.

This document outlines the information you need to know about new or improved functionality in Oracle HCM Cloud. Each section includes a brief description of the feature, the steps you need to take to enable or begin using the feature, any tips or considerations that you should keep in mind, and the resources available to help you.

In addition to this document you will also want to review the Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud Functional Known Issues and Maintenance Packs (Document ID 1554838.1). These documents identify bug fixes and possible known issues. You will also need to review these documents based in the release update version you are currently on or will be moving to.

Oracle HCM Cloud release documents are delivered in five functional groupings:

Suggested Reading for all HCM Products:

• HCM Cloud Common Features (This document pertains to all HCM applications. It is the base human resource information for all products and HCM Tools.)
• Global Human Resources Cloud (Global Human Resources contains the base application in which other application use for common data such as workforce structures and person information. Regardless of what products you have implemented you may want to see the new features for Global Human Resources that could impact your products.)

NOTE: Not all Global Human Resource features are available for Talent and Compensation products.

Optional Reading for HCM Products (Depending on what products are in your cloud service):

• Talent Management Cloud (All Talent applications)
• Workforce Rewards Cloud (Compensation, Benefits, Payroll and Global Payroll Interface)
• Workforce Management Cloud (Absence Management and Time and Labor)

Additional Optional Reading:

• Common Technologies and User Experience (This documents the common features across all Cloud applications and is not specific to HCM)

Feature Summary

Learning and Development

Learning Cloud

Oracle Learning Cloud enables you to make a transformational shift in learning delivery. Subject matter experts in your organization can easily publish videos and assemble tutorials to deliver on-demand and social learning. Collaboration features encourage continuous community feedback.

Specializations, Courses, Course Offerings

Access Optional Activities on Completed Specializations

Access optional activities within a completed specialization enrollment, or completed specialization section.

Access Optional Activities

This lets them participate in reviewing other learning activities.

Access Optional Activities

These completed activities won't be recorded as part of an already completed specialization enrollment. Completion of these optional activities will be reflected on learner transcripts.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Sequencing and Completion Criteria for Activities Within a Specialization

Be among the first to try sequencing for specializations. You can indicate the order in which the sections and activities in a specialization are to be completed, and you can define completion criteria for them as optional or required.

The Sequencing Criteria:

• Prevents enrollment to any/all activities in a section if the learner hasn’t completed a prior section.
• Prevents enrollment into an activity if the learner hasn’t completed a prior activity in the same section.
• Supports at most 1 direct predecessor (meaning a section or activity can't prevent access based on completion of two or more sections or activities).
• Supports many direct successors (completion of one section or activity can allow access to one or many sections or activities).
• In the learner self-service experience, users will be able to see completion requirements of activities.

This enhancement lets your organization enforce the adherence of the order in which sections and activities are to be completed for specializations.

Steps to Enable

To enable this feature you need to log a Service Request (SR).

If you would like to be part of this feature, follow these steps.

1. Enable Newsfeed. Refer to the document called Migrating Oracle Learning Cloud to Newsfeed User Experience on My Oracle Support (Document ID 2649721.1) for complete details.

2. Request to be part of the specialization sequencing open a Service Request (SR) on My Oracle Support (MOS). Include the following items in the SR, and indicate that you agree to these terms:

• Provide a project point of contact.
• Agree to perform regular testing against the integration. Program will last 2-3 months.
• Agree to participate in regularly scheduled meetings – Initially once a week then on an ad hoc basis.
• Agree to uptake at least 2 Cumulative Weekly Bundles (CWBs) per month.
• Agree to request approval to go-live on the sequencing feature from Oracle.

NOTE: This feature requires approval. There are certain parameters that must be met for a customer to be approved. Not all customers will be approved for participation. Once approved, you will be able to start using this feature.

Key Resources

eLearning

AICC/HACP Content Opens in a New Tab

Notice that AICC/HACP Content now opens in a new tab with a full page view. This makes the content easier to view, and provides a better interoperability with external providers.

Launch Content

Content Opens in Full Screen on a New Tab

Steps to Enable

To use this feature, you must enable a new profile option:

• Task: Manage Administrator Profile Values
• Profile Option Code: ORA_WLF_ELEARNING_AICC_ENABLE_EXTERNAL_PLAYER
• Profile Display Name: Enable AICC External eLearning Player
• Set the profile option at site level to "Y" to enable the feature.

Post Processing Rich Media and Processing Strategy Optimizations

Use the new options on the Background Processing tab in Setup to optimize the following background processing jobs:

• Video Transcoding and Processing
• Process Learning Cover Art Image
• Upload SCORM Package

New Options on Background Processing

Select the check boxes for each option to indicate that you want the jobs to run immediately after uploading. If the check box is unselected you will need to schedule the job to run. If you set the number of maximum concurrent job threads to 5 this means if you have 10 items to process, 5 jobs will always be running to process each individual item until there are no items to process. This enhancement lets you more efficiently process large numbers of rich media items using concurrent jobs. If you upload hundreds of items in short succession, there will not be hundreds of jobs running. Instead, the parent job will continuously spawn concurrent jobs up to the configured maximum value, until there are no more items to process.

The new options let you more efficiently process large numbers of rich media items using child jobs and it puts the administrator in control of when and how these jobs are run. If you upload hundreds of items in short succession, there will not be hundreds of jobs running. Instead, the parent job will continuously spawn child jobs up to the configured maximum value, until there are no more items to process.

Steps to Enable

1. In the My Client Groups work area, click Learning.
2. Click Setup.
3. On the Setup page, click the Background Processing tab.
4. Click Edit.
5. Select Run Video Transcoding Job Immediately After Users Upload Video. This check box is selected by default. If you clear the check box, the job is only processed when it is scheduled manually in Tools > Scheduled Processes.

7. Select Run Cover Art Processing Job Immediately After Users Upload Cover Art. This check box is selected by default. If you clear the check box, the job is only processed when it is scheduled manually in Tools > Scheduled Processes.
8. Enter the Maximum Number of Concurrent Cover Art Processing Jobs. The default is 1, but you can enter up to 5.
9. Select Run eLearning Package Processing Job Immediately After Users Upload eLearning Packages. This check box is selected by default. If you clear the check box, the job is only processed when it is scheduled manually in Tools >Scheduled Processes.
10. Enter the Maximum Number of Concurrent eLearning Package Processing Jobs. The default is 1, but you can enter up to 5.
11. Click Save and Close.

NOTE: These jobs won't run automatically, even if the checkbox is checked, for videos uploaded using /learningContentItems root level REST API.

Preview Mode for eLearning Content

Past Renewals Section Displayed in Enrollment Details

Notice the following changes for course renewals:

• When learners are in a renewal course assignment, their current enrollment shows the previous completions in the Past Renewal section.
• When learners have past renewal enrollments, the Past Renewal section displays on the Enrollment Details page.

When a course is set up for renewals, it is beneficial for the learner to see past renewal completions for the course, so that they understand enrollment cycle.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Request Notification Enhancement

Notice the enrollment item deep link that displays in approval notifications.

Deep Link

Click it to navigate directly to the Enrollment Details page.

Enrollment Details Page

NOTE: Notifications are sent for learning item, and noncatalog learning item requests based on the approval workflow setup.

Not all the information in the enrollment details displays in the approval notification. This enhancement provides the approver with access to the enrollment details page so they can view all of the information needed to make an approval/rejection decision.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Learning Recommendations

Recommendation Categories in the Administrator Work Area

Select a Recommendation Category while recommending learning to users.

Recommendation Category

You can categorize recommendations by:

• Career interests
• Learning departments
• Current job or role for current job
• Colleagues

Administrators are able to view this recommendation category in the enrollment search criteria and search results.

Recommendation Category

Recommendation Category in Search Results

By categorizing recommendation enrollments, administrators are better able to organize and curate their recommendations.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Employee Self-Service

What to Learn Enhancements

Notice the following enhancements to the What to Learn page:

• Required and Voluntary Learning Cards no longer show recently completed learning. Completed learning is displayed on the View Transcript page.
• Multiple recommendations for the same item are no longer consolidated into one card. They are repeated so that users can see all of the recommendation comments.

What to Learn Page

Completed learning was removed from this page because it is already displayed on the View Transcript page. Showing recommendations multiple times helps users to view all  recommendation comments for each item.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Optimized Learner Process Flow for Single Self-Paced Activity

Notice that when there is a single activity on a self-paced offering, learners no longer have to choose an offering, because there is only one to choose from. They can now simply click Launch to enroll in the offering and go directly to the activity player.

Launch for Single Activity

Similarly, when there is a specialization with a single course activity, and this is the next course activity in the specialization assignment, when learners drill down into a specialization enrollment and click Launch, they are enrolled in the course and offering, and the player opens for that specific course offering activity.

Launch for Single Activity for a Specialization

This works with all the online, self-paced content types (SCORM, HACP/AICC, Video, Assessments and PDF).

This optimized process flow reduces the number of clicks needed begin single self-paced activities.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

This applies to the Launch button on the course details page, and does not apply when the learner has received a course assignment. In the latter case, a learner must still select an offering.

Enhanced the Optimized Learning Text Index Job

Notice that the Optimize Learning Text Indexes ESS Job has been enhanced to enable stop words for keyword searches by default. In the past, we allowed the User to configure this but this has now been removed because it was proven that when enabled the product provides a better search experience.  Stop words are words such as the, an, and, of, or, etc. that can be removed from the search index so that they are not used in determining the search result scoring. Stop words are always removed from field searches on items like course and offering titles.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Key Resources

For more information on using the HCM Experience Design Studio, refer to these resources:

• Chapter 25, HCM Experience Design Studio: Implementing Talent Management Base guide.
• The Transaction Design Studio -What It Is and How It Works (Document 2504404.1) on My Oracle Support

Talent Review and Succession Management

Oracle Fusion Talent Review is an analytic product enabling your organization to review and evaluate data from the profile, performance, goals, and compensation management solutions. Using Oracle Fusion Succession Management, you can create succession plans to replace key personnel. Succession plans identify workers who are ready now or can develop the necessary skills, for jobs and positions that aren't currently vacant, ensuring, a smooth transition and help you to manage candidate development.

Talent Review and Succession Management Redesigned User Experience

Increase user satisfaction with the redesigned pages that now have the same look and feel on desktop and mobile devices. These redesigned pages are both responsive and easy to use on any device, with a modern look and conversational language. Clutter-free pages, with clean lines and just the essential fields, can be personalized to suit.

Deep Links for Creating Succession Plans and Talent Pools

Deep links enable you to open pages without navigating through the menu structure. As an administrator, you can use these deep links to quickly create and view succession plans and talent pools on the responsive pages:

• Responsive Create Succession Plan (SUCCESSION_PLAN,CREATE)
• Responsive Create Talent Pool (TALENT_POOL,CREATE)

You can simply copy a URL from the Deep Links page and paste it in your external portals as is.

Steps to Enable

To access deep links:

1. Open the main menu.
2. Go to Tools > Deep Links.
3. Copy the URL for a deep link.
4. Paste the URL into the desired location.

Tips And Considerations

• When you access a page in HCM Cloud by using a deep link, HCM Cloud user security is applied. When single sign-on is used, the deep link navigates users directly to the HCM Cloud sign-in page. When basic authentication is used, users are prompted to enter their HCM Cloud user name and password before navigating to the page.
• These deep links will open the responsive pages for Succession Planning overview and Talent Pools overview pages only if the profile options for responsive UI (HCM_RESPONSIVE_PAGES_ENABLED and HRM_SUCCESSION_RESPONSIVE_ENABLED) are enabled. If these profile options aren’t enabled, you will see a blank page.

Key Resources

For more information on creating and enabling the profile options, refer to this document on My Oracle Support:

• HCM Responsive User Experience Setup Information- Profile Options and Displayed Fields (Document 2399671.1)

Role Information

Many predefined roles, such as the Human Capital Management Application Administrator role, inherit the View Administration Link (FND_VIEW_ADMIN_LINK_PRIV) function security privilege that secures deep links. If you’re using this role or other predefined roles with this privilege, then no action is necessary. If you are using custom versions of this role or other roles to which the privilege isn’t already granted, then you must add this function security privilege to your custom roles to use this feature.

For instructions on implementing new functions in existing roles, see this document on My Oracle Support:

• Release 13 Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud Security Upgrade Guide (Document ID 2023523.1).

Talent Review

Oracle Fusion Talent Review is an analytic product enabling your organization to review and evaluate data from the profile, performance, goals, career development, and compensation management solutions.

Super User for Talent Review

Create a talent review super user who can access all talent review meetings in your organization.

A super user can do these actions when editing the configuration of a talent review meeting that isn’t completed or while creating a talent review meeting:

• Search and add business leaders, facilitators, and participants based on how the public person search has been configured.
• Search and add employees in their person security profile to the review population.
• Add talent pools and succession plans they own or have automatic access to. For more information about automatic plan access, see Chapter 7, How Inferred Incumbents of Succession Plans Determine Plan Access in the Implementing Talent Review and Succession Management guide.

A super user has the privileges of a meeting facilitator and can change the review content for any talent review meeting that isn’t completed. If the talent review meeting is completed, a super user can only can change or add facilitators. A super user can save or submit the meeting configuration.

A super user can perform these actions for a talent review meeting:

• Delete a meeting.
• Duplicate a meeting.
• Cancel a meeting.
• View data submission report of a meeting.
• Send reminder notifications to reviewers to prepare review content.
• View, add, or delete notes for the meeting and members of the review population.
• View, add, edit, and delete tasks for members of the review population.

While conducting a meeting, a super user can do these actions:

• View the organization chart.
• Change the ratings of any employee in the review population.
• View color coding and underlays.
• View details or analytics of the selected employee in the review population.
• Print the dashboard.
• Print profile of one or more employee in the review population.
• Filter the review population
• View prior ratings.
• Compare ratings.
• Move employees from and to the holding area.
• Add a task.
• Add a note.
• Add selected employees in the review population to a succession plan, even if they do not have access to the plan.
• Add selected employees in the review population to talent pool, even if they do not have access to the pool.
• Add a development goal.
• Add a performance goal.
• Save or submit the meeting.

Steps to Enable

1. You need to create a Talent Review super user custom job role and ensure that the job role has the privileges listed in the Role Information section.
2. You then have to assign the custom job role to the users who you want to be the super users.

Tips And Considerations

Supers users can’t report on all meetings in Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI). They can only report on the meetings for which they can access reviewees.

Role Information

A Talent Review super user custom job role needs to have these function security privileges:

• Conduct Talent Review (HRR_CONDUCT_TALENT_REVIEW_PRIV)
• Schedule Talent Review Meeting (HRR_SCHEDULE_TALENT_REVIEW_MEETING_PRIV)

A super user custom job role also needs to have an All Values data security policy with the Schedule Talent Review Meeting privilege and a database resource of Talent Review Meeting.

If you have any existing custom job roles with the Schedule Talent Review Meeting (HRR_SCHEDULE_TALENT_REVIEW_MEETING_PRIV) function security privilege, then you need to do these tasks:

1. Remove the Schedule Talent Review Meeting (HRR_SCHEDULE_TALENT_REVIEW_MEETING_PRIV) function security privilege from the custom job roles.

2. Add the Schedule Talent Review Meeting (ORA_HRR_SCHEDULE_TALENT_REVIEW_MEETING_DUTY) duty role to the custom job roles.

3. Regenerate the data roles that are based on the custom job roles.

If you don't do this, users with the custom job roles won't be able to access any talent review meetings.

For more information about creating a Talent Review super user job role, see the Securing Access to Talent Review Meetings chapter in the Securing HCM guide.

Enable Background Colors on Talent Review Dashboard

As an administrator or HR Specialist, you can enhance the talent review meeting experience by enabling background colors for each configured box on the meeting dashboard. By enabling colors, you can give the Talent Review meeting users a visual cue of what each box in the dashboard means.

• You can select the same color for all boxes or just some of the boxes.
• You can’t change the background color of the holding area.

Disposal of Talent Review Data from HCM Cloud

To adhere to privacy laws, you can now dispose Talent Review meeting data when a person leaves the organization. You can now include these Talent Review related information when configuring person information removal policies:

• Information about the business leader
• Information about a facilitator
• Information about a reviewer or participant
• Information about an employee who is part of the review population

To Create the Configuration Template to Remove Talent Review Person Information

After you submit the disposal process on the Remove Person Information page, the selected person’s name is replaced by masking characters in all Talent Review meetings that the person was a part of.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

• You need to enable the configuration template to use it.
• Ensure that the process is run only on terminated workers with a termination date in the past.
• You can’t recover deleted data. So, proceed with caution.
• After you run the process to remove the business leader information, a facilitator can enter a new business leader if the meeting is Not Started or In Progress. If a meeting is completed, the meeting configuration needs to be edited to enter a new business leader.
• After you run the process to remove the information of a meeting facilitator, another facilitator or super user can continue to access the meeting. If the facilitator removed was the only facilitator for a meeting, you need to add another facilitator for the affected meeting either as a super user or by using HCM Data Loader (HDL).
• After you run the process to remove the information of a meeting participant or reviewer, the details of the person removed is no longer shown in the meeting configuration or dashboard. The ratings entered by the terminated reviewer are unaffected. The meeting facilitator can delete the terminated meeting participant or reviewer if the meeting hasn’t been completed.
• After you run the process to remove the information of a person who is part of the review population of a meeting, the meeting facilitator can remove the terminated employee from the review population if the meeting hasn’t been completed. The meeting ratings for the terminated employee are not removed. If the terminated employee was added to a talent pool or succession plan during the meeting, the disposal process for talent pool and succession plans will apply.
• The names of the employees will be masked in any reports generated for the meeting after the process to remove the person information is run.

Performance Management

Oracle Performance Management supports features and functions for measuring and reporting worker performance.

Check Eligibility for Performance Documents

Easily check whether an employee is eligible or not for a performance document using the new Check Eligibility action from the HR administration page Performance Document Eligibility. Using this action, you can quickly find out why an employee is not eligible rather than reviewing the eligibility profile and referencing it against the employee data.

Check Eligibility Page Displaying the Results.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

The list of performance documents will only display the performance documents with employees whose hire date is equal to or before the performance document end date. Employees do not qualify for performance documents that have an end date before their hire date. Note that eligibility profiles don't control this product rule.

The check eligibility function is a real time check of the employee's eligibility for a performance document. However, it doesn't actually process the eligibility. It's up to you to process it using the eligibility batch process. The Performance Document Eligibility page displays performance documents that you've processed using the eligibility batch process.

Data Loader Support for Performance Document Participants Selected By

Easily indicate who selected the participant to provide feedback on an employee's performance document in HCM Data Loader (HDL) or HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader (HSDL). In HDL, when loading the participants into a performance document, you can record who selected the participant by their person ID. Use the new optional attribute Selected by Person ID available in the Participants child object of the Performance Management Business Object in HDL. If a worker, manager or HR specialist adds a participant in the UI, then you can select them in the Selected by Person ID attribute in HDL.

This feature has a number of key benefits:

• Avoid employees deleting participants whom they did not add.
• Prevent employees from viewing the participants whom the manager and HR specialist selected.
• Prevent managers from deleting participants by displaying them as added by HR specialists and not managers. Previously, the participants added in HDL would only display in the UI as added by the manager, therefore allowing the manager to delete them.

Business Object Details: Performance Document Page with the Selected By Person ID Participant Attribute Displaying.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

Here's what happens when you enter various person IDs in the Selected By Person ID attribute in HDL and what displays on the page:

• If you don't enter a person ID, then the performance document manager displays, which is existing behavior.
• If you enter the performance document manager, then the manager's name displays.
• If you enter the person ID of the employee being evaluated, then the employee's name displays.
• If you enter any other person ID, then that person's name displays and the participant is treated as though it was selected by a HR specialist.

The new jobs process data more efficiently and provide better performance than the previous jobs.

They support both the expansion and the reconciliation process in each job. They also have multi-threaded support for both expansion and reconciliation process. The old jobs only support threading on the reconciliation process. The new jobs are run in batch-only processing mode so you can control the resource allocation, versus the jobs being run after an event occurs in the user interface. There is also improved error logging. When errors occur they are logged directly in the database for things such as assignments not being created due to inactive user accounts, duplicate assignments being created, and many others.

The new jobs are:

• Process User Access - This job expands access groups destinations. This job replaces the Reconcile Access Groups job.
• Process Learning Recommendation - This job expands assignment destinations and populates learning recommendation based on eligible users. This job replaces the Evaluate Person IDs for Assignment Rule, Reconcile Dynamic Assignments for recommendation assignments.
• Process Learning Records - This job expands assignment destinations and populates learning records based on eligible users. This job replaces the Evaluate Person IDs for Assignment Rule, Reconcile Dynamic Assignments for required and voluntary assignments.
• Reconcile Learning Catalog Item Activity Changes - This process reviews all active learning catalog activity items and reconciles them against any changes made by a learning specialist since this job was last run. This evaluates all learners on the modified learning item to determine if their progression or completion on that learning item needs to be updated.

Use the new Background Processing tab on the Background Processing page to control the number of concurrent processes, and the number of assignments per concurrent process. The Concurrency Details section is enabled once you've enabled the appropriate profile options (See Steps to Enable for more information.)

Candidates and Candidate Job Applications

Candidate Flexfields in Extra Info Tab

Your administrator can define flexfields to allow recruiting users to view, edit and add info provided by candidates in those flexfields, and to add candidate flexfields for internal usage. 

The Extra Info tab in candidate profiles is divided into two sections to display those flexfields:

• Candidate Extra Info: You can view, edit and add info provided by the candidate in those flexfields.
• Extra Internal Info: You can add flexfields or edit data in those flexfields for internal use. Internal Info flexfields aren't visible to the candidate.

Candidate Extra Info Tab

Steps to Enable

You first need to define flexfields to allow recruiting users to view and edit extra information about candidates. When defining flexfields, you need to consider the following:

• Add or adjust contexts and context sensitive segments.
• For each job application context, add Usage Code for Candidate Application and Usage Code for Person in the Context Usages tab.
• Associate contexts to the Person Extra Information category.
• Add or adjust pages to the Person Extra Information category.
• Add or adjust Associated Context Details for a page.

As an example, here’s how to define flexfields for a context called Hobbies, add context usages, and create value sets.

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:

• Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
• Functional Area: Workforce Information
• Task: Manage Person Extensible Flexfield

2. Select the extensible flexfield called Person EIT Information.

• Usage code for candidate application
• Usage code for person.

8. In the Context Sensitive Segments section, click the Create icon.
9. On the Create Segment page, click Create Value Set. Let’s say you create a value set named Hobby Category.
10. When you’re done creating the value set, click Manage Values.
11. On the Manage Values page, create values such as Arts, Sports.
12. When you’re done, associate contexts to pages.

You then need to configure the candidate file Extra Info tab in the Transaction Design Studio.

Job Application Flexfields in Extra Info Tab

Your administrator can define flexfields to allow candidates and recruiting users to enter extra information about job applications. Any information provided by the candidate through an apply flow or request information flow can’t be edited or added. This ensures that candidate provided information is retained.

The Extra Info tab in job applications is divided into two sections to display those flexfields:

• Application Extra Info: You can view info provided by the candidate in those flexfields. You can then decide to initiate next steps as per your business practices. For example, a recruiter views the special interest or hobbies of a candidate and engages appropriate interviewer with relevant knowledge to interact with the candidate.
• Extra Internal Info: You can add flexfields or edit data in those flexfields for internal use. For example, union review notes, additional assessment requirements. This internal information is specific to that job application. It’s not visible on the candidate’s profile or any subsequent job application.

Role Information

Roles with the privilege Update Candidate Job Application can add or edit flexfields in the Application Extra Info section.

Skip Prospect Candidate Process

Recruiting users and agents have the option to skip the prospect candidate process and create job applications on behalf of candidates. This feature makes the recruiting process more efficient for recruiters, agents, and candidates. Recruiters can save time spent waiting on candidates to respond to invitations to apply for jobs by creating job applications on behalf of candidates and converting prospect candidates. Creating job applications on behalf of candidates allows recruiters to immediately begin moving those applications through the selection process.

Recruiters

As a recruiter, when you’re adding a candidate to a job requisition, you have the option to create a job application on behalf of the candidate.

Create Job Application on Behalf of Candidate - Add to Requisition Action

When you view the list of prospects for a job requisition or when you open a prospect record, you can use the Convert Prospect action to convert an existing prospect record into a job application.

Convert Prospect Action

A new filter criteria called “Candidate Application” is available in the job applications list to help you easily find which job applications were created by candidates and those created on behalf of candidates. This new filter criteria isn’t displayed in the Filters panel by default. You need to add it using the Personalize Filter action.

Candidate Application Filter

Only ten job applications can be created in a single add to job requisition or convert prospect action. For example:

• One candidate can be added to 10 job requisitions, resulting in the creation of 10 job applications.
• Two candidates can be added to 5 job requisitions, resulting in the creation of 10 job applications.
• Ten candidates can be added to 1 job requisition, resulting in the creation of 10 job applications.
• Ten prospect candidates can be converted, resulting in the creation of 10 job applications.

Agencies and Agents

As an administrator, when you create hiring agencies, you can define which agencies can create job applications on behalf of the candidates. When agents submit candidates for a job requisition or add candidates to a job requisition, they can now create a job application instead of creating a prospect record.

Configuration of Mandatory Fields in Application Flows

As an administrator, you can create rules in Transaction Design Studio to set fields as mandatory in apply flows, request information flows, and talent community flows. This applies to blocks which use profile content sections:

• Certifications
• Education
• Language
• Previous Employment
• Skills
• Work Preferences

A new action is available in Transaction Design Studio:

• Define Application Flow Required Fields

Steps to Enable

To configure fields as being mandatory:

1. In the HCM Experience Design Studio page, click the Transaction Design Studio tab.
2. Select the Define Application Flow Required Fields action.
3. Click Add to create a rule.
4. In the Basic Details section, enter a name and description for the rule. Select an application flow.
5. In the Available Attributes section, select a data source. Fields available for the selected data source are displayed.
6. Decide which fields are Required. If a field was set as mandatory at the profile level, the Required setting is disabled. Also, the Required setting is applied per template. If a field is set as mandatory, the mandatory setting s applies to all content sections of that template.
7. Click Save and Close.

NOTE: The Visible field isn't functional. If you modify it, it won't have any effect on the application flow.

Capture Candidate Data Using Multiple Content Sections

Oracle Recruiting Cloud now supports multiple profile content sections. This allows organizations to capture candidate data using multiple profile content sections for example Experience versus Military Experience or Education versus Special Education.

When multiple profile content sections are set up, candidates can enter supported profile data when applying for a job, when updating their information in the candidate self service, or when signing up in a talent community.

Recruiters can view profile data in multiple sections as entered by candidates. This data is available in job applications, candidate files, prospect records, and pool members. Sections titles and fields within each section appear as they were configured by the administrator. Recruiters can also search for candidates using data from multiple content sections using the keyword search. They can also filter candidate search results using advanced search filters and basic filters.

Example of Job Application with Multiple Certification and Degree Sections

Steps to Enable

You first need to create profile content sections in the Profiles work area.

1. Go to My Client Groups and click Profiles.
2. On the Profiles page, click Profile Types.
3. On the Profile Types page, click Person.
4. On the Edit Profile Type: Person page, click Add Content Section.
5. Select a template for the content section. You can use these templates:

• Certification
• Education
• Language
• Skill
• Work History
• Work Preferences (multiple sections isn’t supported)

6. On the Add Content Section page, enter a section name and a description.
7. Select the Active option.
8. In the Content Section Properties section, decide which attributes you want to display or hide as per your business needs.
9. In the Content Section Subscribers, click Add to add Recruiting as a subscriber to this content section.
10. Click Save and Close.

You can then use these sections in profile content blocks when creating application flows of type Apply, Request Information, and Talent Community.

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the following.

• Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
• Functional Area: Candidate Experience
• Task: Job Application Flow Configuration

2. Create a new flow or open an existing flow.
3. Create a new version of the flow.
4. Add profile content blocks to the flow. You can add the same block multiple times. Profile content blocks are:

• Education
• Experience
• Languages
• Licenses and Certifications
• Skills
• Work Preferences (multiple sections isn’t supported)

5. Click on the title of the block.
6. In the Edit Block page, define the block properties.

• Update the block headline to help candidates understand what info they need to provide. The headline is the block name displayed to candidates. If you use multiple sections within the same block, it's even more important to have different headlines otherwise all sections will have the same name. For example, for an Education block with two sections, you could have Bachelor Degree and Doctoral Degree as headlines. When you have multiple sections, you can click on the block title to quickly see the content section configuration.
• Add instructions to provide specific information to candidates on how to fill the info.
• Select a section for the block. The selector displays the sections created in the Profiles work area. You can select only one section within the same block. For example, you can add the Languages block multiple times within the same flow, but each block will have a different section.

7. Click Save and Activate.

The application flow you just defined must be used within specific job requisitions. Choose any requisition for which you want to start capturing candidate data. In the Details tab, go to the Configuration section, and select the application flow.

Tips And Considerations

• If you add the Timeline block to an application flow, you can add the Education and Experience blocks but you need to set them as having non-default sections. If you set default sections, you will get an error message when saving the application flow.
• When you configure an application flow, you must use a default Work Preferences block. Otherwise, candidates won’t be indexed and recruiters won’t be able to search candidates based on these work preferences.
• During an application flow of type Apply, the profiles imported using LinkedIn, Indeed, and resume parsing will be imported to default sections only (the oldest created sections). However candidates can if needed, add additional info in default or non-default sections.
• When you merge candidate files, all additional profile section data is copied into the master candidate file. 
• When candidates move to the HR phase to become workers, profile data from multiple content sections is copied to their talent profile.

Candidate Interviews

Multiple Seats Per Interview Slot

When you create interview slots on candidate managed interview schedules, you can define the number of seats available per slot using the Number of Candidates field.

Let’s say for example that you create an interview slot between 9 am and 10 am and that 5 interviewers are available during that interview slot. This means that up to 5 candidates can select that time slot when scheduling their interview. When candidates are scheduling their interview, they only see one interview slot. There’s no indication that there are multiple seats. As candidates select that time slot, the number of available seats decreases until the interview slot is fully booked, at which time the interview slot is no longer available for selection by candidates. Also note that:

• If the number of seats is filled before the candidate accesses the scheduling page, that time slot isn’t displayed
• If the number of seats is filled while the candidate is attempting to schedule that slot, the candidate will see an error message that directs them to select another available slot.
• If candidates reschedule or cancel their interview, the number of available seats is updated.

When you create an interview slot with one seat, you can see the name of the candidate who selected that time slot in the Interviews calendar. If you create an interview slot with multiple seats, you can see the number of available seats versus booked seats for the interview slot.

Candidates Per Interview Slot

If you go to the requisition’s Interviews tab, in each interview slot there is now a Scheduled Candidates section, you can see the name of the candidates who will attend the interview. You can also perform actions on candidates such as canceling the interview or sending an invitation to reschedule the interview. If you click the name of the candidate, you are navigated to the candidate's job application where you can see and manage all of their interviews.

Steps to Enable

You need to make the Assessment block visible in the application flow.

1. In the HCM Experience Design Studio page, click the Transaction Design Studio tab.
2. Select the Apply to Internal Jobs action.
3. Click Add to create a rule.
4. In the Basic Details section, enter a name and description for the rule. You can select a legal employer and a recruiting type to base the visibility of the application flow sections.
5. In the Show or Hide Regions section, set the Assessments region to Visible.
6. Click Save and Close.

Tips And Considerations

For inline assessments, the selected partner must have the Inline Support attribute activated. This attribute is provided by the partner only if the partner supports inline assessment. Don't activate this partner enablement attribute without confirming with partner first if they support inline assessment.

If you implemented inline assessment in career sites in 20B, you must activate that flag right away upon migration.

Job Offers

Create More Job Offer Flexfields

You can create more flexfields within each job offer to track additional information beyond the standard fields. Instead of 30 free-text fields you can now create 90; instead of 20 number fields you can now create 30.

	Previous Releases	As of Release 20C
Free text	30	90
Number	20	30
Date	10	10
Time	10	10

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Configure Offer Approval Rules Based on Flexfields

As an administrator, you can configure the approval cycle for job offers based on flexfields defined as global segments on the offer and on the offer's assignment, and flexfields defined as both global and context-based segments on the requisition for which this offer is hiring. These approval rules must be configured within the Worklist, not via the Transaction Console.

You can also configure job offer approval rules based on information about the job requisition for which the offer is hiring. These approval rules can be configured via the Transaction Console.

Lastly, you can add representatives as part of the list of approvers when configuring approval rules for job offers. The candidate's proposed representative can now be configured to provide approval for internal candidates' offers, within the Transaction Console.

Steps to Enable

Follow these steps to configure job offer approval rules based on flexfields.

1. On your Home page, click the Notifications icon.
2. On the Notifications page, click Show All.
3. Click Worklist.
4. In the drop-down menu next to your name, select Administration.
5. Click the Task Configuration tab.
6. Search for the task OfferApprovalHumanTask.
7. When the task is displayed, click on the task name.
8. Click the Edit icon.
9. A message indicates that flexfields were modified. Click Start Synchronization.
10. When the synchronization is complete, click the OfferApprovalHumanTask task again.
11. Click the Assignees tab.
12. Click the blue dot in the Job Offer Approvers box to go to the rule.
13. If you click the SupervisoryRulesListSet, you can see the rule you created.
14. In the IF section, go to Rule 1 and click the Search icon.
15. In the Condition Browser window, search for the desired flexfields. You can use:

• OfferDff.
• RequisitionDff
• ProposedAssignmentDff

16. Create the condition.
17. Click Validate.

Follow these steps to configure job offer approval rules based on information about the job requisition for which the offer is hiring.

1. Go to the Tools work area.
2. Click Transaction Console.
3. Click the Approval Rules tab.
4. Select the Approve Job Offer process and click the Edit icon.
5. Click on a rule and click the Edit icon.

Follow these steps to add representatives as part of the list of approvers when configuring approval rules for job offers. The candidate's proposed representative can now be configured to provide approval for internal candidates' offers.

1. Go to the Tools work area.
2. Click Transaction Console.
3. Click the Approval Rules tab.

Create Offers with Salary Based on Payroll Frequency

When drafting a job offer, a new section called Payroll can be configured where the user can choose a payroll. By default this section is hidden.

Some customers may never need to expose this section, because all their salary basis choices are already configured with a frequency. However, some salary bases may be configured as "Payroll Period" which means salary is stored at the same frequency as payroll. In this case, an offer which uses this salary basis will also need to specify what the desired payroll is for the candidate.

As the offer team member fills in the values for each candidate's draft offer, they will need to know whether or not to fill in the Payroll section. For instance, this information isn't needed when the salary basis frequency isn't "Payroll Period". 

If any individual compensation plans are configured to rely on payroll for their eligibility, the Payroll section in the offer may also be useful. It is however preferable to configure eligibility profiles rather than payroll element level eligibility. But if payroll eligibility based on payroll is defined, then the candidate’s offer needs to specify a payroll in order for those compensation plans to be displayed as available for that candidate.

Steps to Enable

To display the Payroll section while drafting an offer, you need to create a rule in Transaction Design Studio using this action:

• Create and Edit Job Offer

If desired, you can also create a rule with these actions:

• View Job Offer in Job Application, to be seen in Hiring areas
• View and Manage Job Offer, to be seen from the Quick Action of Manage Job Offers

1. In the HCM Experience Design Studio page, click the Transaction Design Studio tab.
2. Select the Create and Edit Job Offer action, or the desired action.
3. Click Add to create a rule to display the Payroll section.
4. In the Basic Details section, enter a name and description for the rule. Complete the other fields if desired.
5. In the Show or Hide Regions section, make the Payroll Info region visible. You can also make it mandatory.
6. In the Page Attributes section, select the Payroll Info region, and decide which fields to make visible and mandatory.
7. Click Save and Close.

Key Resources

For details on how to create rules to configure pages, refer to the topic called Page Configuration Using HCM Experience Design Studio in the Implementing Hiring guide on the Oracle Help Center.

Candidates Explain Why They Decline Offers

Candidates can provide feedback while declining a job offer. They can select a reason from a list of reasons, if this is configured, and enter any comments they want to provide.

Decline a Job Offer

With that information, your organization can gather valuable data for the recruiting teams, both immediate and long-term. Recruiters can get notified right away when a candidate declines their job offer, which withdraws their job application. The notification can contain enough information for the recruiter to take immediate action for the candidate if desired. Longer-term, these responses build up a picture of the decisions and concerns of your organizations selected candidates. Why didn't your top candidates accept your job offers? Capturing this information and analyzing it to understand trends can greatly improve your organization’s future offers and future hiring strategies.

Watch a Demo

Steps to Enable

You first need to define reasons for declining an offer. You can use the reasons that already exist and which are used at various points in the candidate lifecycle. You can also create new reasons.

To create a reason:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:

• Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
• Functional Area: Candidate Job Applications
• Task: Candidate Selection Process Reasons

2. Click the Reasons tab.
3. Click Create.
4. Enter a name and a code.
5. Select the Active status. A reason must be active to be added to a group.
6. Click Save and Close.

You can also define a group to hold all the reasons why a candidate would decline a job offer.

To create a group:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:

• Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
• Functional Area: Candidate Job Applications
• Task: Candidate Selection Process Reasons

2. Click the Groups tab.
3. Click Create.
4. Enter a name and a code.
5. Click Add to add the reason you just created, or any other existing active reasons.
6. Click Create to create a new reason.
7. Set the group status to Active.
8. Click Save and Close.

You also need to enable the decline offer feedback in the candidate selection process.

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:

• Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
• Functional Area: Candidate Job Applications
• Task: Candidate Selection Process Configuration

2. Open an existing process.
3. Click the Offer phase.
4. Go to the Phase Details: Offer section and click the Edit icon.
5. Set the option Allow Candidate Reason and Comment on Withdraw to Yes so that candidates can provide a free-text comment as they decline their job offer. Candidates are declining to be considered any further for this job and thereby moving themselves to the state Withdrawn by Candidate.
6. Click Save.
7. Go to the States for Phase: Offer section.
8. Click the Reason Group menu for the Withdrawn by Candidate state and select the group that contains the reasons to decline the offer. If you don’t associate any reason group with the Withdrawn by Candidate state, no list of reasons will be shown but the candidate will still have the opportunity to enter free-text comments as they decline the offer.

The candidate selection process you just defined must be used within specific requisitions. Choose any requisition for which you want to start gathering feedback from candidates about why they decline their job offers. In the Configuration section, select the candidate selection process.

You may want the notification sent to the recruiting team to include the reason to decline the offer and the comments provided by the candidate. If that’s the case, modify the existing notifications "IRC_JobOffer_Declined_Internal" and "IRC_JobOffer_Declined_External" in the Alerts Composer tool. Add the new tokens:

• JobOfferCandidateDeclineReason
• JobOfferCandidateDeclineComment

ORACLE DECOMMISSIONED THE HCM CLASSIC SIMPLIFIED USER INTERFACE IN UPDATE 20B

The new and redesigned HCM Responsive User Experience has been available and promoted as our standard since Update 18B. If you are still using the older HCM Classic Simplified User Interface, please begin transitioning to the HCM Responsive User Experience.

For information, video links and next steps, please see Document ID 2399671.1 - HCM Responsive User Experience Setup Information

Highlights of New User Interface:

We’ve taken the employee and manager self-service pages to the next level by redesigning them to look and behave the same on desktop and mobile devices. We’ve also changed the look and feel of the pages to provide a better experience for end users.

Pages and messages look more modern and use simpler, more conversational language so that you can more easily read and understand content across all devices. The pages are clutter-free and clean and display only those fields that are required to complete the task. You can personalize the pages and add more fields that are hidden by default. For most self-service tasks, you’re asked what you want to do, and the task is broken down into a series of steps based on your choice.
