Learner Experience

Hide Recommendations for Completed Learning Feature is from a customer submitted idea.

Recommendations you've received will now automatically be removed when you complete the recommended learning, to keep your learning recommendation feed updated. When this happens, the recommendations are withdrawn using the Recommended learning item completed (ORA_AUTO_WITHD_ASGMNT_COMP) reason code. You can use this code to identify recommendations learners completed to gauge the effectiveness of your recommendations.

This enhancement keeps learner's recommendation feed updated with recommendations they haven't completed.

Steps to Enable

Enable activity sequencing, if you haven't already, see the Key Resources for information on enabling.

Key Resources

For details about enabling activity sequencing, see the Update 23A What's New: Activity Sequencing.

Learning Recommendations for Manager-Assigned Skills

You can now automate learning recommendations to help learners attain skills assigned to them by their manager in Skills Center. Let's say a manager assigned one of their workers the Coach Employees core skill in Team Skills Center. Oracle Learning can recommend learning items with that skill defined as a learning outcome.

These recommendations appear on the Redwood Me > Learning > Browse Learning page, in the Recommendations for your manager-assigned skills category. They also appear in Oracle Grow, in the Learning for your job recommendation category.

Browse Learning Page with the Recommendations for Your Manager-Assigned Skills Category

This feature lets you drive more learning engagement with minimal manual effort.

Steps to Enable

Complete these setup tasks:

Set up Dynamic Skills, if you haven't already done so
Enable Redwood self-service for learners, if you haven't already done so.
Schedule the Recommend the Most Popular Learning background process and select the option Recommendations for your manager assigned skills.

Tips And Considerations

If you already have this process scheduled and want to include this new recommender on the same schedule, you must cancel your existing schedule and resubmit it with the appropriate recommender options selected.
Recommendations won't include the learning items that the learner already enrolled in or completed.

Key Resources

For more information about learning outcomes, see these chapters and topics in Oracle Help Center:

Oracle Learning Prerequisites and Outcomes, and Talent Prerequisite and Person Profile Types chapter of the Using Learning guide.
Skills Advisor for Learning topic in Learning chapter of the Using Dynamic Skills guide.

For more information about assigning skills to your team, see the Team Skills Center chapter of the Using Dynamic Skills guide.

Learning Recommendations for Topics Popular in My Role

You can now automate learning recommendations to workers based on their current job and topics that are popular with others in the same job or job family. Generate up to 15 recommendations per active learner work assignment on a weekly basis.

These recommendations depend on the quantity of learners in the same job or job family who are members of open topic communities. For example, let’s say that Dan’s and John's current job is Product Manager. The learning recommendations made to Dan will depend on the topic communities that John and others in the same job role or job family are members of.

These recommendations appear on the Redwood Me > Learning, Browse Learning page, in the Topics popular in my role recommendation category. They also appear in Oracle Grow, in the Topics popular in my role recommendation category. The topic that has the most recently added learning items appears first. The Recommend the Most Popular Learning background process creates the recommendations. To keep them relevant and fresh, we recommended that you schedule this process to run once a week.

Redwood Browse Learning Page Showing the Topics Popular in My Role Category

This feature lets you drive more learning engagement with minimal manual effort.

Steps to Enable

Enable the Redwood learner experience, if you haven't already done so.
Schedule the Recommend the Most Popular Learning background process to run once a week with this option selected: Topics popular in my role.

Tips And Considerations

If you already have this process scheduled, and want to now include this new recommender on the same schedule, you must cancel your existing schedule and resubmit it with the appropriate recommender options selected.
Scheduling the process for a shorter frequency won't change the results, so for best performance, run it only once a week and on the weekend, if possible.
Recommendations won't include the learning items that the learner already enrolled in or completed.
Voluntary completions are voluntary learning assignments that learners completed or that their manager marked as complete on their behalf using My Team > Learning.

Key Resources

For details about setting up the Redwood learner experience, see the Enable Redwood Self-Service for Learners topic of Redwood User Experience Setup chapter of Implementing Learning guide.

Access Requirements

The person submitting the process must have the Manage Learning Setup (WLF_MANAGE_LEARNING_SETUP) functional privilege.

Learning Recommendations Popular with Others in My Careers of Interest

You can now automate learning recommendations to workers based on job roles they've identified as careers of interest using learning that's popular with others in those same job roles. Generate up to 20 recommendations per active learner work assignment on a weekly basis.

These recommendations depend on the quantity of learners in the same job as the worker’s careers of interest who voluntarily completed the courses, specializations, videos, or learning journeys in the previous 6 months. For example, Dan’s career of interest is Director, Product Management. John’s current job is Director, Product Management. The recommendation made to Dan will depend on the learning that John and others in the same job role voluntarily completed in the previous 6 months.

To keep learning recommendations relevant, learning that the worker already completed or recommendations they previously dismissed aren't recommended again.

These recommendations appear on the Redwood Me > Learning, Browse Learning page, in the Popular with career interests recommendation category. They also appear In Oracle Grow, in the Popular in your careers of interest category. The most popular learning appears first. The more learners who voluntarily completed the learning, the more popular the learning. The Recommend the Most Popular Learning background process creates the recommendations. To keep them relevant and fresh, we recommended that you schedule this process to run once a week.

Redwood Browse Learning Page Showing the Popular with Career Interests Category

This feature lets you drive more learning engagement with minimal manual effort.

Steps to Enable

Enable the Redwood learner experience, if you haven't already done so.
Schedule the Recommend the Most Popular Learning background process to run once a week with this option selected: Popular with careers of interest.

Tips And Considerations

If you already have this process scheduled, and want to now include this new recommender on the same schedule, you must cancel your existing schedule and resubmit it with the appropriate recommender options selected.
Scheduling the process for a shorter frequency won't change the results, so for best performance, run it only once a week and on the weekend, if possible.
Recommendations won't include the learning items that the learner already enrolled in or completed.

Simplified Filters on the Redwood My Learning Page

You can now filter your current and completed enrollments using the new set of filter chips on your Me > My Learning page.

Enrollments filter options: Current, Completed, and All
Completed Date filter options: Completed on or After, and Completed on or Before
Enrolled on Date filters options: Enrolled on or After, and Enrolled on or Before

These new filter chips replace the existing Required Learning, Current Learning, All Completed Learning, and Learning History filter chips.

The Sort By choice list has these 4 options:

Due date
Most recently assigned
Most recently completed
Title

After you do a keyword search, such as searching for Java, the Sort By choice list will include Most relevant sort option. This option doesn't appear until you search using key words.

Remote Capturing of SCORM and HACP logs

To record SCORM and HACP communications between online content and Oracle Learning for a specific learner, learning administrators can now enable remote debugging for the learner or a specific content item. The communication logs are stored on the Oracle Learning server and learning administrators can retrieve the data using an Oracle Business Intelligence Publishing (BI) report.

After they enable debugging, the debug logs record all communications in later sessions that the learner has with the eLearning player. Learning administrators don't need to watch the learner live.

IMPORTANT: Enabling this additional logging can make the eLearning player less responsive, so don't have it enabled all the time.

This enhancement helps learning administrators better debug learner issues with online content.

Steps to Enable

Enable activity sequencing, if you haven't already.
Set the Learner level profile value for the ORA_WLF_UPLOAD_PLAYER_LOGS profile option.
1. Search for and click the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.
2. Search for and select the ORA_WLF_UPLOAD_PLAYER_LOGS profile option.
3. Set the Level to Learner.
4. In the Profile Value field, select one of these options:

Y: Record the communications for any SCORM or HACP content this learner launches in the eLearning player.
N: Don't record anything for this learner. This is the default option.
Content Number, such as OLC1234567: Record communications for only this content when the learner launches it in the eLearning player

Click Save and Close.

Tips And Considerations

You can purge these logs using the Learning Migration process. Be sure to select the data correction option Delete the eLearning player debug logs.

Key Resources

Customize report functionality is explained in this BI Publisher Server documentation:

Replace Online, Video, and PDF Content Feature is from a customer submitted idea.

Skills Advisor for Learning Enhancements

You can now define criteria to apply to a set of courses or specializations to generate skill suggestions for, instead of the entire learning catalog. Do this using a new common capability called Filtered Lists available in Oracle Fusion Cloud applications. You can create one or more filtered lists of courses or specializations using any of these criteria:

Criteria	Applies To
Learning item type	Only courses or specializations
Featured items	Only featured items
Default view mode	Only items visible in the learning catalog
City	Course offerings in a specific city
Delivery mode	Courses offered as self-paced, instructor-led or blended
Learning outcomes	Learning items that already have or don't have specific learning outcomes defined
Skill and skill level	Learning items that already have or don't have specific skills or skill levels defined
Publish start and end dates	Learning items published in specific date ranges
Created by	Learning items created by specific learning administrators

In addition to specifying the target learning item criteria, you can now also rerun the skills advisor on items that you already curated. This lets you make bulk changes using the Microsoft Excel workbook generated by Skills Advisor for Learning. Prior to this release, curated skills weren't returned and so could never be updated in bulk using the spreadsheet.

You can now also define multiple process templates, each applying to a specific set of learning items. You can then run the process using the Skills Advisor for Learning Processes task on the My Client Groups > Learning page.

Here's what you can do from the Skills Advisor for Learning Processes page:

Search for process templates by name or description.
Filter the template results using the Status or Filtered list name filters.
Add a Skills Advisor for Learning template.
Run the Skills Advisor for Learning process.
Download the Microsoft Excel workbook to curate the skills suggestions.
Edit a template.
Delete a template.

Skills Advisor for Learning Processes Page

Here's how to add a Skills Advisor for Learning template:

Click Add.
Enter a name and optionally a description. And select an existing filtered list created for learning items.
Apply the changes.

Skills Advisor for Learning Processes Page Showing How to Add a Process Template

Here's how you run the Skills Advisor for Learning process:

Select the process.
Click Run Process.
To curate the skill suggestions, after the process completes, click Update Skills.

External Providers

Learning Connect Content Provider SDK with xAPI Feature is from a customer submitted idea.

Learning content providers (and aggregators) can now build connectors with Oracle Learning using Oracle Learning Connect SDK. These connectors can ensure that the customer’s Oracle Learning catalog is always in sync with the content provider’s catalog. And additionally, this connector also has support for xAPI, so that content providers can ensure that the employee’s learning records in Oracle Learning are always up to date irrespective of whether the employee access the learning via Oracle Learning or directly on the content provider’s website or mobile application.

More details on becoming a certified Oracle Learning Connect SDK partner will be available soon on the Oracle Partner Network.

This enhancement broadens the scope of content available to your learners in your learning catalog.

Steps to Enable

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

Microsoft Outlook Calendar Integration Feature is from a customer submitted idea.

Automate sending, updating, and removing calendar invitations for the instructor-led offering activities learners and instructors are enrolled in or teaching, using the Microsoft Calendar provider.

When enabled, you can automate the following:

Send calendar invitations to learners for the instructor-led activities they're enrolled in.
Send calendar invitations to instructors for the activities they are teaching.
Improve the instructor and learner experience for activities hosted through a classroom provider, such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom, by obtaining the session's join link prior to sending the calendar invitation.
Send calendar updates to learner's and instructor's calendars when the activity date, time, or location changes.
Remove calendar invitations from learner's calendars when they are withdrawn from offerings or the activity is removed.
Remove calendar invitations from instructor's calendars when they are no longer teaching the activity or the activity is removed.

All calendar invitations will appear in learner's and instructors' calendar from the account you, as the organizer, specify in the configuration steps.

This feature improves learner and instructor experiences by automatically keeping their calendars up to date with changes to instructor-led activities in Oracle Learning.

Steps to Enable

Prerequisites:

Enable activity sequencing, if you haven't already.
Enable Redwood self-service for learners, if you haven't already done so.
Create a Microsoft Outlook calendar app in Azure portal using the same steps to set up Microsoft Teams. While you can reuse an existing Microsoft Teams app after adding the permissions needed for Microsoft Outlook calendar, we recommend using separate apps and credentials to keep the integrations independent.
1. Register app or web API within the tenant using the linked information. You'll need to provide this information:
  - App Name: Enter a friendly name for your integration with Oracle Learning.
  - Supported account types: Select the account type that best matches your needs. If you need more information, please consult with Microsoft.
  - Redirect URL: You can leave this field blank for your integration with Oracle Learning.
2. Setup up a tenant using the linked information if you don't already have a Microsoft tenant. You need a Microsoft tenant ID to configure Microsoft Calendar in Oracle Learning. You'll need to provide this information:
  - Tenant Type: Azure Active Directory
  - Organization Name: Enter the name of your organization
  - Initial Domain Name: Enter a unique domain name for your tenant

You'll need the application client ID generated after you finish registering the app when you configure application access to online meetings. You'll also need it when you configure Microsoft Calendar in Oracle Learning.

1. Add a client secret using the linked information. You need the provided client secret value for when you configure Microsoft Calendar in Oracle Learning.
2. Grant application permission to Microsoft Graph using the linked information. You'll need to provide your registered app with these permissions, which are required for your Microsoft Calendar integration with Oracle Learning to work:
  - User.Read.All
  - Calendars.ReadWrite

Caution: Make sure that the required API permissions are application type, not delegate type.

1. Grant admin consent to the configured app permissions using the linked information.

Configure the Microsoft Calendar Provider

Configure Microsoft Calendar using the Configure External Providers task on the My Client Groups > Learning page.

Configure External Providers Page Highlighting the Configure Button in the Microsoft Calendar Row

On the Configure External Provider: Microsoft Calendar page, complete the required and applicable optional parameters.
- Description: Optional text to describe this account.
- Status: Defaults to Active. The status must be active for the integration to be enabled.
- Secret: A password or a public and private key pair that Oracle Learning uses to authenticate with the Microsoft identity platform. You can update this password or key pair as appropriate.
- Tenant ID: A unique identifier for your account with Microsoft. You can't change this ID after validation.
- Client ID: A unique identifier assigned by the Microsoft Identity platform. You can't change this ID after validation.
- Organizer Email Address for all Calendar Meeting Invites: An email account that's validated in the same tenant.

Microsoft Calendar Integration Configuration Parameters Page

While each learner and instructor will receive their own calendar invitation, they'll all have the same organizer that you define above. We recommend you create a generic account to be used only for this purpose, instead of using a personal account because this account calendar will contain all the meetings generated through this integration.

Tips And Considerations

The Virtual Classroom External Provider Sync process was renamed to Sync Instructor-Led Training for Learning. If you've this process already scheduled, you don't need to do anything after upgrading to this release. The process will continue to run as before, and will include the Microsoft Outlook Calendar Sync subprocess if you enable this feature
After this integration is enabled and the background process Sync Instructor-Led Training for Learning runs for the first time, a calendar event is sent to Microsoft for any new instructor booking, learner enrollment, any withdrawals, or key activity changes that happen after the integration is enabled. It can be for an existing activity or for a new activity of a course offering.
The integration won't send events for existing enrollments unless there's a key change in the activity definition. Whenever there's any change made to an ILT activity, such as to the date, time, or instructor, a learning administrator needs to reconcile those changes for existing active enrollments using the Actions > Reconcile Learning Assignments option on the offering details page before the Sync Instructor-Led Training for Learning process can make the appropriate calendar updates for the applicable instructors and learners.
Event alerts and add-to-calendar functionality for learners and instructors will be disabled when calendar integration is enabled because they'll no longer be needed.
Learners and instructors will get calendar invitations in their preferred Oracle Fusion language.
Date format, time format, and time zone will be according to each person's Microsoft Outlook preferences.
The integration is one-way. Learners declining the event in their Microsoft Outlook calendars isn't reflected in Oracle Learning.
The integration uses Microsoft's Graph API Calendar Event calls and requires Microsoft 365. For supported versions of Microsoft Outlook, see Office versions and connectivity to Microsoft 365 services.

Key Resources

For details about setting up a new app for Microsoft Outlook calendar, see the Set Up the Microsoft Teams App for Oracle Learning Integration topic of the Virtual Classroom Providers chapter in the Implementing Learning guide.

NOTE: If you're using just Microsoft Calendar integration and not Microsoft Teams integration, you don’t need to do step #4 in the Microsoft Teams Set up Application access policy.

Learning Replaced or Removed Features

From time to time, Oracle replaces existing features with new features, or removes existing features.

Replaced features may be put on a path of removal, the features below will let you know what update you will have to have moved to the newer feature. As a best practice, you should move to the newer feature as soon as possible for full support and to stay up with the latest updates that the product offers.

Any feature that is removed, will have an Update in which that feature is no longer available. Please make necessary plans to move off the feature by the Update indicated, as it will no longer be available.

Responsive User Experience Removal Notice

By Update 24B activity sequencing and the Redwood learning self-service pages for learners and managers must be enabled. Non-Redwood Learning self-service pages for learners and managers will no longer be supported.

Extending Learning

Extending HCM Redwood Pages Using Visual Builder Studio (VB Studio)

HCM Redwood Applications have a comprehensive set of features designed to meet a wide range of business requirements. In addition, HCM's flexibility enables you to customize and adapt the application to align with your business or individual requirements.

This document is a comprehensive guide to using VB Studio in the context of HCM Redwood applications. Refer to the official VB Studio documentation for detailed instructions on using specific VB Studio features. Our primary objectives are to:

Help you understand how to effectively leverage VB Studio functionalities within the HCM Redwood application, thereby streamlining your experience.
Guide you on how to identify the extensible elements of a page and the corresponding tools to use.

Glossary

Here are some terms to familiarize yourself with before you start extending your pages:

Express Mode: A simple-to-use interface in VB Studio where functional administrators are presented with only the capabilities they need to tailor Oracle Cloud Applications pages.

Business Rules: A feature of VB Studio used to control the display of regions and fields on a page. It's the Redwood equivalent of Transaction Design Studio for Responsive pages.

Built-in Rule: An Oracle-delivered rule, including localization rules, available for a page. It corresponds to the Delivered Rules in Transaction Design Studio.

Extension Rule: A rule created within your extension. It corresponds to the Custom Rules in Transaction Design Studio.

VB Studio: Oracle Visual Builder Studio (VB Studio) is a robust application development platform designed to effectively plan and manage work throughout all stages of the app development lifecycle.

UI Element: An action button, tab, filter, sort by, table, or any other element of a Redwood page that can be extended.

Constant: A property value used in the HCM application to control page behavior. The property value can be modified by a functional administrator at design time in VB Studio. Each constant has a designated name, description, and type established by Oracle, which can be a number, string, boolean, or array, depending on the use of the constant. To understand the role of a constant on a page and the possible values it can take, refer to the constant label and description.

Dynamic Container: An extendable page component used to organize content such as adding or reordering new content, both factory and user content, in a structured manner.

Customization and Extension: Changes made by a functional administrator at design time that apply at the site level.

Personalization: Changes made by end users to their pages at runtime that apply only to themselves and persist for that user each time they log in to the application. Personalization includes changes based on user behavior (such as changing the width of a column in a table), changes the user chooses to save, such as search parameters, or composer-based personalization, where an end user can redesign aspects of a page.

HCM Experience Design Studio: The HCM Application extensibility tool to extend Responsive pages, which includes Transaction Design Studio and Autocomplete.

Transaction Design Studio: A feature of the HCM Experience Design Studio used to control the display of Responsive pages.

Autocomplete Rules: A feature in the HCM Experience Design Studio used to default and validate data in Responsive pages.

Advanced Mode: An advanced interface in VB Studio where functional administrators are presented with all the features to tailor Oracle Cloud Applications.

Introducing Express Mode in VB Studio: New Tool to Extend Your HCM Redwood Pages

HCM leverages the new Express mode in VB Studio to empower your business users to customize HR processes and ensure data quality.

Use Business Rules, which is the Redwood equivalent to Transaction Design Studio (TDS) for Responsive pages, to:

Leverage delivered best practices, or create your own rules based on various criteria, such as country and business unit.
Make fields and regions required or optional, read-only, or editable, and show or hide fields and regions depending on specific criteria.

Use the various delivered constants to customize your Redwood pages to best fit your specific business needs, such as hide the evaluation panel in Connections, or reorder the columns in the Person search result table.

You can learn about Express mode terms and key concepts in this overview.

#	Description
1	In the Header, the recommended mode to extending HCM Redwood pages is Express mode.
2	The Pages list provides access to all the Redwood pages that you can extend. However, in this release, HCM recommends keeping it closed. Navigate directly from the page you want to modify to VB Studio without using the Pages list.
3	The Page Designer tab includes the following features: Fits to Canvas: Allows you to visualize your pages with different devices, ensuring a responsive design. Live mode: Enables you to test and preview your changes within the tool itself. You can navigate through the HCM application as you would in the actual application. Constants tab.
4	The Constants tab helps you identify the page elements that can be extended in the page, making it easier to customize and tailor the page to your specific needs. Make sure to remember this tab, as it will be referred to frequently throughout the documentation.
5	Control field and region displays with Business Rules, which is the equivalent to Transaction Design Studio for Redwood pages. In the Page Designer, click the Configuring Business Rules button in the Properties pane, or click the Business Rules tab.
6	Use either the Live mode or Play features to test and preview your changes within the tool itself.
7	Share your changes with others without publishing to increase testing coverage and ensure higher product quality.

Express Mode vs. Experience Design Studio Combined with Page Composer

Here is a comparison between the new Express mode in VB Studio and Experience Design Studio combined with Page Composer. Our goal is to empower you to make informed decisions and embrace the new possibilities that HCM Redwood Application unlocks for your business.

The new Express mode in VB Studio presents an opportunity to apply the same changes you previously made in HCM Experience Design Studio and Page Composer, while also introducing a host of amazing new features. Here are the capabilities available in this release.

NOTE: Transaction Design Studio, Autocomplete Rules, and Page Composer only apply to responsive pages and can't be used in the context of Redwood pages.

What’s Extensible in Redwood Pages Using Express Mode

The types of modifications you can make to an HCM Redwood page in VB Studio depend on the specific page you're modifying. The changes listed below may not be universally available for all HCM Redwood pages.

NOTE: that all the setup tasks you use to configure your responsive pages, whether global or specific to a product such as Manage Common Lookup, Manage Person Name Style, and Manage Descriptive Flexfields, remain unchanged unless otherwise specified by the product documentation.

Control Field and Region Displays with Business Rules

Business Rules, similarly to Transaction Design Studio for Responsive pages, allows you to:

Maintain valid data and ensures data quality by reducing users' errors.
Build more efficient HR processes that end users can trust by offering a simple user experience, without having to understand the complexity of HR Policies.
Make work faster, easier, and more manageable by seeing only the relevant, most appropriate content that in turn drives engagement and productivity.

Business Rules enables you to apply similar changes that you previously made in Transaction Design Studio and Page Composer, when required, while also introducing the new capability to make a field read-only. Here is a recap of what you can control at the field and region level.

Capability	Field	Region
Optional or required	x	x For Compact Guided Process flows like Promote and Change Position

With numerous usability improvements compared to Transaction Design Studio, Business Rules offers a user-friendly extensibility tool, enabling HR professionals and administrators to make changes without the need for extensive programming skills. Now, let's highlight some of the differentiating features of Business Rules.

#	Extensibility Feature
-	Rule list and configuration side by side - Quick and easy navigation between rules for rules comparison, or mass updates by seeing the list of rules and rule details side-by-side.
1	Filter Rule, Region, and Field Names by Rule - Productive personalization tool by reducing number of clicks and scrolling with filter capabilities for rules, regions, and fields.
2	Filter Rules by Region and Field with Overrides - Productive personalization tool by reducing number of clicks and scrolling with filter capabilities for rules, regions, and fields.
3	Activate \| Deactivate All Rules - Retrieve the out-of-the-box behavior by deactivating all rules in one click (for debugging purpose).
4	Filter Region and Field by Rule - Productive personalization tool by reducing number of clicks and scrolling with filter capabilities for rules, regions, and fields.
5	Only Display Regions and Attributes with Overrides - Quickly identify at a glance all changes for a given rule in one click.
6	Identify Overridden Attribute and Region as well as the number of overrides per region - Quickly identify visually the changes for a given rule.
-	Manage flexfields like any other fields - Simplified representation of pages' regions and fields in an organization tree for all fields, including flexfields.
-	Make a Field Required and Hidden - Simplify HR processes to show only what matters to your employees. NOTE: that a field marked as hidden can still be rendered as visible at runtime. If no value is present, the field will then be displayed to the user to enable them to proceed.

If the Business Rules tab is not available, that means that HCM hasn’t yet enabled the feature for the page.

Customize Your HR Processes Using Constants

In VB Studio, HCM leverages the concept of constants, which functional administrators use to extend the functionality of HCM Redwood pages. These constants play a crucial role in the extensibility and are used for various purposes, such as reordering tabs in Journeys, showing or hiding panels in Connections, or configuring Guided Journeys. Ability to write expression to conditionally rendered an element, such as displaying the person pronoun for specific countries only, is supported in Express mode.

You can access the list of available constants for a particular page by navigating to the Constants tab in the Designer. If the Constants tabs displays the message "We didn't find any extendable constants on this page", that means that HCM hasn’t yet delivered constants for the page.

It's worth noting that HCM has already delivered hundreds of constants across various Redwood pages, ensuring a diverse range of options to tailor the application to your specific needs.

Adding Your Own Content to a page.
Adding Your Own Content to a region.
Configuring Guided Journeys.
Enabling Nudges.
Controlling UI elements such as Sort By, Tabs, or Colors, even field display in some cases.
Reordering Regions.

As an example, let's explore how to configure the columns display in a table.

Control the Columns Display in a Table Using Constants

Tables are used across HCM Redwood pages. Two types of changes can be done to show the relevant data to your end users:

Where extensibility is available functional administrators can customize the columns shown and displayed by default. This can be done via Oracle-delivered constants and the changes will apply at the site level.
Additionally, end users can personalize the same for themselves using the Columns panel.

When a table is extensible, two constants are available to control:

The display and ordering of default columns that gets displayed by default in the table as well as the Columns panel. In the Position search result table, this constant is named positionResultsDefaultColumns. The default ordering and expected property values are: PositionName, PositionCode, Incumbents, ParentPositionName, JobName, DepartmentName, LocationName, BusinessUnitName, Status. The columns can be reordered or removed by modifying the array.
The display and ordering of hidden columns that gets displayed by default in the Columns table. In the Position search result table, the constant is named positionResultsHiddenColumns. The default ordering and expected property values are ParentPositionCode, JobCode, DepartmentTitle, LocationCode, HiringStatus, Type. The columns can be reordered or removed by modifying the array.

You can move a column from a constant to another to hide and show columns. If one of the delivered columns isn't relevant for your organization, remove the column from both constant. The column won’t show in any of your end users.

Customize Your HR Processes using Dynamic Container

Dynamic containers can be utilized in a page for two main purposes:

Add your own content: With dynamic containers, you can add various types of content to customize your HCM application according to your specific needs. Common examples of content include text, images, forms, videos, and more.
Reorder regions: Dynamic containers allow you to rearrange the layout of regions on the page, providing flexibility in organizing the content and optimizing the user experience.

It's important to note that these are the only two scenarios where you'd need to navigate to the Advanced mode to extend your page. Working with dynamic containers may require users with some technical skills.

If a dynamic container isn't available, that means that HCM hasn’t enabled the feature for the page.

This enhancement enables organizational agility to swiftly address your evolving business requirements.

Steps to Enable

Leverage the Visual Builder Studio to expose your applications. To learn more about extending your application using Visual Builder, visit Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > Books > Configuration and Extension.

Before you can start working with VB Studio, a systems administrator must set as by following these instructions.

Tips And Considerations

Extensibility has been turned off for any dynamic components used in the HCM Redwood pages. Also, you must remove any change done in the layout prior to Update 23D.
The new page doesn’t yet have support for Autocomplete Rules. Autocomplete Rules isn't supported for the new Pending Workers page rebuilt in Redwood. All rules built on the underlying business objects for this page must be disabled when you enable the Redwood page. Note that disabling rules on a business object will disable Autocomplete for both the Redwood and Responsive pages.

Key Resources

To start customizing your Oracle Cloud Application in VB Studio, follow the instructions here. As you’re working, you may find it helpful to refer to Extend Oracle Cloud Applications in Visual Builder Express Mode.

Adding your own content to a page may require some technical skills to use a dynamic container in Advanced mode. Instructions for doing so are here.

NOTE: These features are not generally available to customers; customers must be approved to use these features. When these features are generally available to all customers, they will be announced under their product area headings.

Administrator Experience

Introducing Digital Learning Feature is from a customer submitted idea.

Digital learning collects single-activity self-paced offerings, content items, and self-service videos into a self-contained learning item that you can publish to the learning catalog. It simplifies the deployment of self-paced learning to your learning catalog by reducing the learning objects that you need to publish. You can assign digital learning directly to learners without the overhead of course offerings and activities, and you can also use it as specialization activities.

Digital learning administration in the My Client Groups > Learning work area also introduces the first Redwood pages for managing your learning catalog. The more intuitive Digital Learning page lets you quickly find the learning you need to manage. The new details page lets you manage the configuration properties of a digital learning item.

Digital learning delivers several functional enhancements compared to self-paced offerings and content items, including these enhancements:

Defining the learning type for URL-based items to facilitate discovery in the learning catalog, such as publishing them as videos, books, and assessments

Optionally defining who the publisher, author, or even instructor is to help your more easily find items in your learning catalog

Defining multiple playback languages your content supports to help learners more easily find items in their language

Configuring a digital learning to require the learner to mark themselves complete as a form of affirmation, in addition to launching the content

Configuring a digital learning so that learners can review their past attempts and view the responses they provided to the quiz embedded in your SCORM or HACP content

Configuring the percentage of time the learner must watch video-based digital learning

Configuring a video-based digital learning to let learners fast forward through it

Previewing the item as it would appear to learners in the learning catalog, without having to enroll in it

Digital learning also introduces a new REST API to bulk load your self-paced learning items to the learning catalog. The bulk load ends the need to use a combination of REST and HCM Data Loader, as was the case with courses, offerings, and content items.

This enhancement starts your journey towards a simpler approach to delivering self-paced learning and managing the learning catalog with the Redwood experience.

Tips And Considerations

Approved participants must already have enabled the activity sequencing feature released in Update 23A, and the Redwood learner pages released in Update 23C. Enable all of these learner pages by setting the Site level value for the ORA_WLF_LEARN_SELFSERVICE_DETAIL_VBCS_ENABLED profile option to 'Y'.

Digital learning isn't compatible with self-service videos and when you enable it, all public visibility self-service videos will be converted to digital learning. They'll remain in your learning catalog, but in this release they can no longer be managed.

My Videos Redwood page will no longer be accessible to learners after digital learning is enabled.

Learning journeys are deprecated as part of enabling digital learning. They will no longer be supported, won't appear in the learning catalog. They'll be converted to legacy learning items so that completions are preserved on worker's learning transcripts.

Introducing Learning Organizations

Learning organizations are the consolidation of access groups and official learning communities into a single, unified business object that lets you define learner cohorts to curate specific learning experiences for them. In this release, learning organizations support the global access group use case, letting you define a set of people that can access a private digital learning item. You can define learning organization participants individually or using a .csv file of person numbers. You can also define the visibility of the learning organization and its managers. This lets you control which learning administrators can use the learning organizations, and which ones can modify its configuration and participants.

This feature lets you reduce your workload making overall administration learning items and assignments much simpler.
