Oracle Accessibility Conformance Report

VPAT® Version 2.3 - April 2019

Name of Product:

Oracle Fusion Engagement Cloud Knowledge 11.13.21.07.0

Product Description:

Oracle Fusion Engagement Cloud Knowledge enables the creation and delivery of knowledge to Oracle Fusion Engagement Cloud and Oracle Fusion HCM users:

It is a web based user interface.
Users (Knowledge Authors) who create and manage knowledge use the Knowledge Authoring application.
Users (Service Agents) who consume knowledge have access to a knowledge panel within the Fusion Service Request Management application and are able to search the knowledge base, save favorite knowledge articles for reuse, and link articles to Service Requests.
Users (Service Agents/ other employees with access) may also access knowledge through the My Knowledge UI without any context of a service request.
Users (Digital Customer Service Users) may access their service requests and relevant knowledge articles through a web interface.

Date:

27-Jul-2021
