Overview

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

  • Release Updates (19A, 19B, 19C, and 19D)
  • 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)

Application Security

Oracle Applications Security provides a single console where IT Security Managers and Administrators can perform various functions including user lifecycle management, role definition, security policy management(both functional and data), role hierarchy maintenance, username and password policy administration, and certificate management. The console also enables users to simulate the effect of security changes, to run security reports, and download a connector for integration with Microsoft Active Directory.

Secure Workflow Transactions Using Manage Data Roles and Security Profiles

Until this update, users with access to the Transaction Console could manage all transactions on the console. From this update, access to transactions can be secured. If you enable transaction security, then users must have a data role that enables them to manage transactions on the Transaction Console. The data role must:

  • Inherit either the predefined Human Capital Management Application Administrator job role or a custom role with the required privileges.
  • Have an assigned transaction security profile, which identifies the family, categories, and subcategories of secured transactions.

On the Transaction Console, users with such a data role can manage transactions:

  • That were initiated by people in the scope of the data role's person security profile
  • That are identified by the data role's transaction security profile

When you create a data role for the Human Capital Management Application Administrator job role, you now see a Transaction section on the Create Data Role: Security Criteria page.

Including a Transaction Security Profile in a Data Role

Two transaction security profiles are predefined:

  • View All HCM Transactions
  • View All Transactions

You can also create transaction security profiles. When you create a transaction security profile in the data roles task flow, you see the following section on the Assign Security Profiles to Role: Transaction Security Profile page.

Creating a Transaction Security Profile

To create a transaction security profile:

  • You must include the family HCM, which secures access to HCM transactions.
  • You can include one or more categories, such as Talent or Workforce Management. The category secures access to transactions in that category only. Categories that you don't select are excluded.
  • You can select subcategories for each category. For example, you can select the Performance subcategory for the Talent category. 
    • The subcategory secures access to transactions in the subcategory only. All other subcategories in the category are excluded unless you select them explicitly.
    • If you select Exclude Subcategory, then the user can access transactions in the category apart from those in the subcategory that you exclude.

You can also create transaction security profiles separately using the Manage Transaction Security Profiles task.

Steps to Enable

Transaction security is disabled by default. To enable transaction security:

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, select the Workforce Structures functional area for your offering.
  2. In the Workforce Structures task list, select the Manage Enterprise HCM Information task.
  3. On the Edit Enterprise page, select Edit > Update.
  4. Complete the fields in the Update Enterprise dialog box, as appropriate, and click OK.
  5. Scroll to the Transaction Console Information section.
  6. In the Transaction Console Information section, select Enable Transaction Security.
  7. Click Submit.

Enabling Transaction Security

If you don't enable transaction security, then users who have access to the Transaction Console can manage all transactions on the console, as they did before the upgrade. You can create transaction security profiles and include them in data roles, but they have no effect unless you also enable transaction security.

Key Resources

For more information, go to Applications Help for the following help topic:

  • Transaction Security Profiles: Explained

Role Information

The following predefined duty roles are provided in this update.

Duty Role Name Duty Role Code Inherited By
Review HCM Approval Transactions as Administrator ORA_PER_REVIEW_HCM_APPROVAL_TRANSACTIONS Human Capital Management Application Administrator
Review HCM Approval Transactions as Business User ORA_PER_REVIEW_HCM_APPROVAL_TRANSACTIONS_AS_BUSINESS_USER None
  • Review HCM Approval Transactions as Administrator grants access to the full set of actions on the Transaction Console.
  • Review HCM Approval Transactions as Business User grants access to a restricted set of actions on the Transaction Console. You may want to add this duty role to custom Human Resource Specialist or Line Manager roles, for example.

NOTE: If you're using data roles that inherit the predefined Human Capital Management Application Administrator job role, then you must edit those data roles to select or create a transaction security profile. 

To enable access to the Transaction Console for a custom role, you:

  1. Add one of the new duty roles to the custom role. For example, if you're using a custom Human Capital Management Application Administrator job role, then add the Review HCM Approval Transactions as Administrator duty role. To enable a custom business-user role, such as Line Manager, to access the Transaction Console, then add the Review HCM Approval Transactions as Business Use duty role. For information about adding new roles and privileges to custom roles, see the Release 13 Security Upgrade Guide on My Oracle Support (2023523.1).
  2. Create a data role to inherit the custom role. Assign appropriate person and transaction security profiles to the data role. If you already have data roles for your custom roles, then you must edit them to select or create a transaction security profile.
  3. Provision the data roles to users, as appropriate.

When you edit a data role and save the changes, its data security policies are updated automatically to reflect the latest role hierarchy.

Enhanced Custom Criteria Validation

You can include custom criteria, in the form of SQL predicates, in a person security profile. Custom criteria can supplement or replace the standard ways of identifying person records in a person security profile. In this update, you can validate your custom criteria and correct any errors before proceeding. A Validate button now appears in the Custom Criteria section of the Create Person Security Profile and Edit Person Security Profile pages.

Validating Custom Criteria in Person Security Profiles

When you click Validate, a syntax check occurs and any syntax errors, such as missing brackets, single-line comments, or misspelled keywords, are reported. When you click Next to open the Preview page, further validation of the custom criteria occurs. You may see warning or error messages about:

  • Using A.ASSIGNMENT_ID, because the table alias A is reserved for Oracle use
  • Referencing tables that include PII (personally identifiable information) data, which may cause runtime errors
  • Using commands, such as UNION or JOIN, that may affect performance

Correct any issues before saving person security profiles.

Steps to Enable

You have to include custom criteria, in the form of SQL predicates, in a person security profile in order to use this feature.

Tips And Considerations

New validations will not prevent upgrading customers from using existing custom criteria in person security profiles. 

Key Resources

For more information, go to Applications Help for the following help topics:

  • Securing Person Records Using Custom Criteria: Explained
  • Tables and Views in Custom Criteria: Explained

HCM Security

HCM Security includes enhancements to person security profiles, new-person task flows, role mappings, the Retrieve Latest LDAP Changes process, predefined job and abstract roles, and security setup.

Secure Person Records by Multiple Area of Responsibility Scope Values

Until now, you could secure access to person records in a person security profile using a single area of responsibility scope value, such as business unit, location, or grade. If you wanted to secure access by multiple scope values, such as both business unit and location or both legal employer and job, then you had to define custom criteria. From this update, an additional 16 scope values, each of which combines 2 individual values, are provided in person security profiles. You can now secure access to person records using any of these additional responsibility scope values:

  • Business unit and country
  • Business unit and department
  • Business unit and grade
  • Business unit and job
  • Business unit and location
  • Business unit and supervisor hierarchy
  • Country and department
  • Country and department hierarchy
  • Country and department in organization tree
  • Country and supervisor hierarchy
  • Legal employer and business unit
  • Legal employer and department
  • Legal employer and grade
  • Legal employer and job
  • Legal employer and location
  • Legal employer and supervisor hierarchy

Selecting a Responsibility Scope Value

You can select these additional values in both the Manage Person Security Profiles and the Manage Data Roles and Security Profiles interfaces.

Steps to Enable

To use this feature, you will need to review and update your current area of responsibility definitions to include multiple scope values, if appropriate.

Tips And Considerations

When you secure access to person records using one of the new responsibility scope values, both conditions must be satisfied for access to be granted. For example, you may secure access to person records by selecting the Business unit and department responsibility scope value. A user may have these four areas of responsibility:

Area of Responsibility Business Unit Department
1 Vision BU 1 Vision Department 1
2 Vision BU 2  
3 Vision BU 3 Vision Department 3
4   Vision Department 4

The user can access person records in:

  • Vision BU 1, Vision Department 1
  • Vision BU 3, Vision Department 3

The user can't access person records in:

  • Vision BU 2
  • Vision Department 4
  • Vision BU 1 that do not also belong to Vision Department 1 or that have no department
  • Vision BU 3 that do not also belong to Vision Department 3 or that have no department
  • Vision Department 1 that are not also in Vision BU 1
  • Vision Department 3 that are not also in Vision BU 3

You can now more easily secure access to person records using multiple responsibility scope values without using custom criteria. Therefore, you may want to review and update your current area of responsibility definitions to include multiple scope values, if appropriate.

HCM Data Loader

HCM Data Loader provides a flexible and efficient method of bulk loading business object data for data-migration and on-going incremental updates to Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud.

Enhancements to External Bank Account

These attributes have been added to the External Bank Account object to support country-specific requirements:

Attribute Description
AccountType Identifies the type of account, such as checking or savings. In the US, where multiple accounts can have the same AccountNumber value for the same bank, bank branch, currency, and country, this value identifies the bank account uniquely.
AlternateAccountName An alternate name for the bank account holder.
CheckDigit A value used to validate a bank account number in accordance with country-specific validation requirements.
SecondaryAccountReference A secondary account reference. In the UK, where multiple accounts can have the same AccountNumber value for the same bank, bank branch, currency, and country, this value identifies the bank account uniquely.

This attribute has been added to the External Bank Account Owner component of the External Bank Account object to support third-party ownership of external bank accounts: 

Attribute Description
ThirdPartyNumber A number that identifies the third party who owns the external bank account.

Steps to Enable

Modify your data loading files to take advantage of these new attributes.

Tips And Considerations

The AccountType and SecondaryAccountReference attributes are user-key attributes. The External Bank Account object now has 12 possible user keys.

The ThirdPartyNumber attribute is a user-key attribute. The External Bank Account Owner component now has 24 possible user keys.

You can now specify either a ThirdPartyNumber value or a PersonNumber value, but not both.

Key Resources

For more information, go to Applications Help for the following help topic:

  • Loading External Bank Accounts: Explained

New Business Objects Supported

You can now load data for the following business objects:

Business Object Product Area Description
Payroll Time Period Global Payroll - Define Holds the payroll definition calendar, which is based on the frequency of the payroll, such as weekly or monthly
Performance Documents and Goals Assignment Transfer Talent Management Facilitates the transfer of performance documents and goals from an inactive worker assignment to the new, active assignment after a rehire or change of legal employer
Person Public Message Workforce Directory Management Holds text, such as an out-of-office message, that appears on a person's public information page in the person spotlight
Requisition Workforce Directory Management Defines vacancies, which are placeholders for future headcount, and Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud requisitions

In addition, you can now:

  • Delete Talent Review Meeting objects.
  • Create a Talent Review Meeting object with the MeetingSubmitStatusCode attribute set to Scheduled. Until this update, you had to create the meeting with the Draft meeting submission status and then update it to Scheduled.
  • Specify who initiated an Allocated Checklist.

Steps to Enable

Modify your data loading files to take advantage of these new objects.

Tips And Considerations

Use the Job Requisition object to maintain Oracle Recruiting Cloud requisitions.

HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader

HCM Data Loader provides a flexible and efficient method of bulk loading business object data for data-migration and on-going incremental updates to Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud.

Submit Spreadsheet Uploads as the Session User

For some object components, you can review the object history to see who last updated the object. Until now, when the object was last updated using HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader, the Last Updated By value was always FUSION_APPS_HCM_ESS_LOADER_APPID, also referred to as the elevated user. You did not see the name of the signed-in user who uploaded the changes. From this update, you can upload data for unsecured objects as the session user rather than as the elevated user. You make this selection in the spreadsheet template. A new section, Template Security, appears on the Define tab of the Manage Spreadsheet Templates task flow. 

Setting Template Security in a Spreadsheet Template

When you create a spreadsheet template for an unsecured object, such as Job or Grade:

  • You can select either Session User or Elevated User in the Upload Data As field. This value is Session User by default.  
  • The read-only Assign Roles to Template field is set to Enabled. This value indicates that you can assign roles to the template on the Manage Role Access tab.

When you create a spreadsheet template for a secured object, such as Worker or Position:

  • Upload Data As is set to Elevated User and can't be changed.
  • Assign Roles to Template is set to Disabled. This value indicates that you can't assign roles to the template on the Manage Role Access tab. 

Only the Human Capital Management Integration Specialist job role is authorized to upload data from a spreadsheet for secured objects.

Steps to Enable

Use the Template Security to identify the user you want to show in history for the updates.

Tips And Considerations

In existing spreadsheet templates for unsecured objects, Upload Data As is set to Elevated User. You can edit the spreadsheet template to set Upload Data As to Session User, if required.

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.

The pages redesigned below are all part of the Redesigned Cloud User Experience.

HCM Common

Enhanced HCM Experience Design Studio to Simplify Page Configurations

The HCM Transaction Configurator is renamed as HCM Experience Design Studio and includes the renamed and enhanced Transaction Design Studio. Using the Transaction Design Studio, you create rules to configure transactions and pages. You can change how sections and fields are displayed, based on the user's role and the employee's business unit or legal employer. It's just a lot simpler now.

Page Configuration Rules

More newly designed, responsive actions and pages are available to configure. You can:

  • Control the visibility of regions and sections on the page.
  • Control the visibility for attributes within a page, region, or a section.
  • Change the required status of optional attributes.
  • Control the availability of the questionnaire page for actions that use the guided process design.

You can create one or more rules for any page available in the Transaction Design Studio. Parameters such as role, business unit, and legal employer determine the roles subject to the rule and the set of employees rules are applied to. All parameters are optional.

Example of Rules for Promote Action

There are 3 parts of a rule to configure.

  1. Basic details including parameters. All parameters are optional.
  • Role is the role of the user performing the action or viewing the page.
  • Legal Employer is of the employee being acted on
  • Business Unit is of the employee being acted on.
  • Some actions may include additional parameters.
  1. Regions to show or hide. These vary by page. If the transaction uses the guided process framework, you can hide the questionnaire page as well. 
  2. Page attributes to show or hide or make required or optional. Available attributes are organized by the regions on the page.

Edit Rule Page

Rule Evaluation

When you create multiple rules for an action or page, rules are evaluated in the order displayed subject to the employee meeting the parameters for multiple rules. Rules are evaluated in this way.

  1. When the same parameters are configured for multiple rules AND the same region or page attributes settings (visibility/required status) are configured, the first rule displayed is applied. Subsequent rules using the same parameters and configurations to the same regions or attribute settings are not applied.
  2. When different parameters are configured for multiple rules AND different regions or page attribute settings (visibility/required status) are configured, each rule is applied.

This example illustrates how multiple rules are evaluated. Assume that the Salary and Manager regions are delivered as visible and Grade and Job are delivered as optional.

Rule Parameters Region Configuration Page Attribute Settings
1 Country = US, UK Hide Salary section Grade is required
2 Country = US Hide Manager section Grade is optional
3 Country = UK Show Salary section  
4 Country = <null>   Job is required

For employees in the US, the Salary and Manager regions are hidden. Grade and Job are required.

For employees in the UK, the Salary region is hidden. Grade and Job are required.

For employees in countries other than the US and UK, no regions are hidden. Grade is optional. Job is required. 

Now, even hidden attributes are available to configure. You no longer have to display them first using Page Composer. For pages that support the inclusion of flexfields, you can make them visible here as well.

Steps to Enable

To access the HCM Experience Design Studio:

  1. Activate a sandbox.
  2. Navigate to the My Client Groups tab.
  3. Click Show More to open the quick actions.
  4. Select HCM Experience Design Studio in the Employment group.
  5. Under your Settings and Actions, select Edit Pages.
  6. Select Site layer and click OK.
  7. Click Continue.

To create a page configuration rule, on the Transaction Design Studio tab:

  1. Select an action or page from the Actions list of values.
  2. Click the Add button.
  3. Enter the basic details.
  4. If the page includes different regions, set the required and visibility status for the regions you want to include.
  • If the page uses the guided process design, show or hide the questionnaire for users.
  • Required regions cannot be modified.

  1. In the Page Attributes region, select the region you want to configure.

  1. Change the required or visibility setting for attributes in the selected region.
  • Read only fields don't have a required setting.
  • Required fields cannot be modified.
  1. Flexfields are identified by the pencil icon. To set the visibility of a flexfield, change the overall visibility to 'visible', and then click the pencil icon.

  • From the Flexfield Attributes list, select the segment you want to display.

  • Check the 'visible' checkbox.
  • Repeat the above steps for every segment you want to make visible.
  1. Click Done.
  2. Repeat applicable steps 5-8 for the next region to configure.
  3. Save.
  4. If you created multiple rules for the same page or action, use the up and down arrows to sequence the rules in the order you want them evaluated. 

  1. Apply the sandbox.

Tips And Considerations

  • In some cases, the delivered visibility or required status for an attribute cannot be determined. When this occurs, the status will be set to 'Undetermined'.
  • In some cases, the delivered visibility or required status for an attribute cannot be changed without having a downstream impact. When this occurs, the Visibility or Required settings are disabled.
  • From this work area, you can still modify the person spotlight and upload images for pages that use the HCM landing page design.
  • Only newly designed, mobile responsive pages available in the Actions list can be configured. Not all mobile responsive pages are available in the current release.
  • To migrate Transaction Design Studio configurations between environments, use Customization Migration. Only “Application Artifacts”, “Analytics” and “CRM common components” need to be selected when creating your customization set.'
  • If you previously enabled the profile option Questionnaire Displayed in Guided Processes (HCM_TASK_CONFIGURATOR_RESPONSIVE_ENABLED) by setting the Site level value to Y, and have no TDS rules that hide the questionnaire, the questionnaire page will display.

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.

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

  • The Deep Links page includes deep links for mobile responsive and classic, non-responsive pages. If a mobile responsive and classic deep links exists for the same page, click the links to determine the one to use. Some deep link names include 'NFS', 'RESPONSIVE', 'MY_TEAM' or 'MY_CLIENT_GROUPS' which indicates they're for mobile responsive pages.

Role Information

The delivered role Human Capital Management Application Administrator inherits the privilege View Administration Link (FND_VIEW_ADMIN_LINK) that secures the Deep link menu item.

Search for All Actions Using HCM Global Search

All actions available to you from Me, My Team, or My Client Group quick actions are available in the HCM global search. Previously, you could only search for commonly used actions. In addition, with the introduction of the new and improved person search, you will only see one action even if the action is available to you from both My Team and My Client Groups (Promote, Transfer, for example). The quick action tab name will also no longer be appended. Previously, My Team and My Client Group used different search pages, but now they use the same search page so the tab name is not required. You will only see the "Me" tab name appended if you have access to the same action as an employee and a line manager or HR professional user.

Steps to Enable

For steps to enable the HCM Global Search Configuration, read the:

  • 18B HCM Common What's New feature - New HCM Global Search

Key Resources

For more information on the HCM Global Search Configuration, read the:

  • 18B HCM Common What's New feature - New HCM Global Search
  • 18C HCM Common What's New feature - HCM Global Search Enhanced
  • 19A HCM Common What's New feature - New and Improved Person Search

New and Improved Person Search

When you search for a person from the My Team or My Client Groups quick actions, you now use a new and improved person search. You can search by the worker's name, person number, work email, or business title using a client side list of values for quicker results. If you have employees reporting to you, you will always see a list of your direct reports. You can quickly select one and start a transaction. If you want to act on someone else, search for other employees in your line manager hierarchy. If you're an HR specialist, search for workers in your professional area of responsibility. The new person search returns all active employee assignments, delegated and dotted line reports, and contingent workers.

In addition, as an HR specialist, you now have the option to use an advanced search to help you find the person to act on. Use the advanced search to narrow your results. For example, in the advanced search, you can specify parameters such as job, position, date, and search for nonworkers, terminated and pending workers, future-dated hires etc.

Steps to use:

To access the new person search from the My Team or My Client Groups:

  1. Select an action such as Promote or Transfer.
  2. You are now navigated to the new person search.
  3. Enter a name or a few characters of the name of a person in the search box.
  4. Line managers, select the name and begin the transaction. Alternatively, HR specialists can select the Advanced Search link to use additional parameters to narrow the search for the person they want.

When you search for and initiate an action from global search, you navigate to the same new person search page. 

Steps to Enable

Make the feature accessible by assigning or updating privileges and/or job roles. Details are provided in the Role section below.

Tips And Considerations

  • You cannot search for contacts.
  • The advanced search is only available to the delivered HR Specialist role.
  • My Team and My Client Groups now use this same new person search. "My Team" and "My Client Groups" is no longer append to the action name when you have access to an action from both tabs. Only when you have access to the same action as an employee and another role will "Me" be appended to the action name to identify the employee version of that action.

Role Information

  • All delivered HCM job and abstract roles inherit the privilege Access HCM Common Components (HRC_ACCESS_HCM_COMMON_COMPONENTS) that gives access to the new person search.

Enhanced Talent Profile Management

Enhancements made in Talent Profile Management include changes to the user experience and to talent profile administration. This initial release of the enhanced Talent Profile Management is restricted to Oracle Recruiting Cloud and Oracle Learning Cloud customers, early adopters, and newly provisioned customers. You cannot use this functionality unless you have been explicitly approved to use it by Oracle Product Management.

Profile Management’s presentation of the person profile and talent ratings has been enhanced to provide a more engaging and responsive interface design. The new user experience enables features to be presented on both mobile and web pages. The interfaces are simple, intuitive and are written in a more conversational language.

The Profile Management administration enhancements provide increased product performance and product extensibility. The enhanced solution introduces content templates that represent the talent content (for example, Competencies, Certificates, Skills, and Awards) required to support the requirements of the Oracle Talent Management Suite. Each content template includes unique attributes. These content templates can be used and reused to create the content sections necessary to capture talent data. The templates can be used to design both person and model talent profiles.

Other new features for this release include:

Best Fit Optimization: Administrators are able to run the Manage Best Fit Batch Process ESS job through the Scheduled Process UI to improve best fit performance for Career Development Mobile Responsive Recommended Roles. Administrators are able to:

  • Schedule when to run the process based on run options, for example: As Soon as Possible, or Using a Schedule.
  • Run full jobs or incremental jobs.
  • Set up notifications and/or manage a recipient and the condition for notification (on success, on warning, or on error).
  • Set up process options such as language, territory, time zone, number/time/date formats and currency.

Target Outcomes: Profile Management maintains the requirements for configuring target outcomes that are necessary to measure the success of a task or project defined as part a goal or learning activity. Goal Management, Career Development, and Oracle Learning Cloud are all consumers of the Profile Management library of skills and credentials for providing applicable outcomes. See each consumer’s documentation for specific details.

New Model Profile Type: We added a Prerequisite Profile Type. This additional model profile type supports profile type requirements. The Prerequisite Profile Type allows an administrator to configure the required prerequisites that can be used to define prerequisites for a learning activity when using Oracle Cloud Learning.

Steps to Enable

The enhanced Talent Profile Management requires you to migrate your profile data. For information about how to upgrade to the enhanced Talent Profile Management, see Upgrading Oracle Fusion Profile Management (Doc ID 2421964.1)

Re-Architecture of Person Profile Real Time Subject Area

Improve your reporting on the Person Profile Real Time subject area with features from the new and enhanced architecture. These changes and new attributes are only usable for Profile Management Responsive pages. To use these attributes you need to turn on the Profile Option for Profile Management. If you are using the classic Profile Management pages, you will see these new attributes in the subject area and can even add them to a report, however the report will not pull the data, as data entry is only available through the responsive pages.

With this enhancement some of the performance issues reported by customers have also been addressed. The subject area has been enhanced with additional attributes, and a few of the existing attributes have been changed to source the data from different database columns. Also, the column names for a few attributes have been modified.
