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.

Enhancements to Access Groups

Notice the following new enhancements for Access Groups:

Enhancement #1: Manage Default Access is available at the page level on the Admin Learning Item Detail page.

Manage Default Access

For the course, offering, and specialization administrator detail pages, this button is available as a page-level action.

Manage Default Access

Note that since Manage Learner Defaults will be a page-level action, it will appear at the top across all tabs inside the administrator learning item detail page, not just on the Learners tab.

Enhancement #2: Offering access now defaults to the system setup on the Manage Catalog Defaults tab. Previously the offering default settings were copied from the course settings.

Create a new offering, and then check the Manage Default Access setting.

Manage Default Access

You can now use the Manage Catalog Defaults tab configurations while creating an offering.

Default Access

Enhancement #3:There is now an Initial Learning Record Status option of None available in Manager Self-Service.

New Option of None

This new option is enabled on the following pages:

• Learning Item Details > Manage Default Access
• Local Access Group > Access Details
• Global Access Group > Access Details
• Setup > Manage Catalog Defaults

When managers meet this access group criteria, they will not see the Assign to My Team action for the learning item for which this access group is defined. Additionally, if they use the Mass Assign to My Team action from the My Team page, when they select an item's radio button, a warning messages displays saying "You cannot assign this item." When they click OK, the radio button is cleared (unselected).

The Initial Learning Record Status is set to None in Manager Self-Service Settings while creating an Access Group.

Initial Learning Record Status Is Set to None

A Manager who meets this access group criteria is not able to see the Assign to My Team action for the learning item for which this access group is defined.

When the manager tries to assign the learning item on the Assign Learning to My Team Page by selecting the learning item radio button, a warning message saying “A valid learning item is required to create assignments” displays.

Manager Is Unable to Assign a Learning Item on the My Team Page

Warning Message Displays

When the manager clicks OK, the radio button is cleared (unselected).

Radio Button Cleared

Enhancement #4: When View Mode is set to Summary View, you can't set the initial learning record status to Active.

You Can't Set to Active or None

If an admin chooses View Mode Summary Mode, the Initial Learning Record Status settings are defaulted to Requested and can only be changed to a Request Approved setting, not Active.

Enhancement #5: There is a new section for enrollment questionnaires, and more configuration options are available. The Enrollment Questionnaire option has been removed from the Manager and Learner self-service settings section. There is a new section at the top of the page called Enrollment Questionnaire. The Show Enrollment Questionnaire drop-down list has two options: Do not enable enrollment questionnaires (selected by default), and Enable enrollment questionnaire creation. If this second option is selected then administrators will be able to select the Enrollment Questionnaire.

Enhancement #6: The option called Search and Select Learning Name is no longer available when adding members to an Access Group.

Search and Select Learning Name Is No Longer Available

This feature greatly enhance the usability and functionality of Access Groups.

Steps to Enable

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

Enhancements to Learning Journey Sections

Reorder the sections in Learning Journeys to suit your needs. You can also delete sections. The changes you make persist after you save or publish the Learning Journey.

Reorder Learning Journey Sections

This enhancement further improves the usability of Learning Journeys.

Steps to Enable

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

Enhanced Web Link Activity

Clear the Mark as complete when learner opens the web link check box on the Import Content window to indicate that the status of a course is updated to In Progress when a learner accesses the web link activity.

Mark as Complete When Learner Opens the Web Link

The functionality is now more user-friendly and shows the true status of weblink activities.

Steps to Enable

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

WebEx: Virtual ILT Activity Completion Rules

Enable the new Virtual Instructor Led (Virtual ILT) completion rules so that WebEx activities are automatically marked as complete when users exceed the attendance duration time you've configured.

This enhancement saves time and prevents manual completion mistakes, because Learning Cloud does the work for you.

Steps to Enable

1. In the My Client Groups work area, click Learning.
2. Click Setup.
3. On the Setup page, click the Manage Catalog Defaults tab.
4. Scroll down to view the Virtual Instructor Led Training Activity Completion Rules section.

Virtual Instructor Led Training Activity Completion Rules

5. Click Enable virtual instructor led activity completion rules to indicate that virtual activities will automatically be marked complete if the actual participant attendance time is greater than a percentage of the virtual activity duration. Activity duration is defined as the scheduled activity start time to the actual end time.
6. Indicate what percentage of the virtual activity duration learners must participate in to automatically be marked complete.
7. Indicate whether this setting can be overridden at the offering level

Override Virtual ILT Completion Rules at Offering Level

You can also override this setting at the offering level.

Enable Completion Rules at the Offering Level

Tips And Considerations

You can now enable completion rules for both WebEx and Adobe Connect at the same time.

Mass Action to Purge Access Records

Purge redundant and unnecessary learner access records from deleted Local Access Groups to improve system performance. There is a new option in the Data Correction drop-down list in the Learn Migration ESS job called Delete physical rows for end-dated access records.

New Option

This option only displays if you enable the new profile option described in Steps to Enable.

NOTE: Oracle recommends that you do not schedule this job. Administrators should run this process manually after an Access Group is deleted.

Backend tables are cleared of redundant data when the local access groups are deleted, which improves system performance.

Steps to Enable

To enable this feature, you must enable the following profile option: ORA_WLF_ENABLE_ADDL_DATAFIX.

Profile	Value
Profile Option Code	ORA_WLF_ENABLE_ADDL_DATAFIX
Profile Display Name	Enable Additional Learn Migration Scripts

To enable the profile option, navigate to the work area: Setup and Maintenance:

1. Search for and click the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.
2. Search for and select the profile option.
3. Set the profile option value to Y in the Profile Value field at Site Level.
4. Click Save and Close.

Character Limit Increased for Comment to Learner Field

The maximum number of characters allowed for the Comment to Learner field has increased to 4000 when data is loaded using HCM Data Loader (HDL).

The enhanced character limit allows you to capture the more number of characters to create comments for learners when data is uploaded through HDL.

Steps to Enable

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

Allow Access to Optional Activities for Completed Specializations

Allow learners to access optional activities for specializations even after they've completed the specializations. Even though users can complete these activities, doing so doesn't change the completion statuses for the associated specializations. Users won't see additional course completion statuses for the optional activities after they complete them, but these optional activities do display as standalone course completions on their transcripts.

Learners can click a new View in Catalog button in the Optional section for their completed specializations to access optional course activities.

View in Catalog Button

Upon clicking, a message displays to alert users that any progress they make on the optional items will be reflected independently from the specialization.

Warning Message

Clicking OK displays the Catalog Course Details page.

Catalog Course Details Page

This is irrespective of whether they were in progress or had not started this course. If they were in progress however, the Catalog Course Details page will contain the inline message stating they already have an enrollment, which they can drill into.

Gives learners the flexibility to complete optional activities, even after completing a specialization.

Steps to Enable

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

Career and Succession

Career Development

Oracle Fusion Career Development provides tools for workers and managers to manage their career interests and development plan. These tools include:

• Recommendations on roles based on workers’ qualifications
• Comparisons to target roles and required development needs for workers
• Management of roles of interest to the worker
• Comprehensive development plan for workers to establish development goals and manage development progress

Development Plan Approvals Request for Information Extended Request Feature

When requesting for information while approving development plan changes, you can now specify these additional details:

• The person from whom you want information: Select the person from the Name list. By default, the name of the person who submitted the development plan for approval is shown.
• Whom to send the requested information: In Return Options area, select one of these values:
  • Back to me: To send the information to you
  • Follow approval flow: To send the information to the next person in the approval chain

Request Information Before Approval

Make better decisions while approving the development plan by getting more information regarding the goal sent for approval from others in the organization and not just the employee who is seeking approval.

Steps to Enable

You need to enable approvals for development goals in the Transaction Console.

Check Person Eligibility When Mass Assigning a Development Goal

When mass assigning development goals, you as an administrator can use the enhanced Check Person Eligibility action to identify if an employee is eligible for goal assignment or not.

You may have multiple eligibility criteria in the Selected Eligibility Profiles section of the mass assignment page. When you check a person’s eligibility, you can now see these results:

• Overall eligibility status
• Eligibility status for each eligibility criteria
• Reason why a person is ineligible for a particular criteria

Check Person Eligibility Page

This information can help you decide if you want to include the person in the mass assignment or not.

Using this action, you can quickly find out why an employee isn't eligible rather than reviewing the eligibility profile and referencing it against the employee data.

Steps to Enable

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

Succession Management

Oracle Succession Management helps to 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, insuring, a smooth transition and help you to manage candidate development.

Succession Plan Alerts

Employee assignments can change after they are included in a succession plan. The type of assignment changes include transfer, promotion, position change, and others. These assignment changes are recorded in the employment information of Global Human Resources.

As an administrator, you can configure alerts for succession plan assignment changes. Use the Succession Plan Assignment Change Alert templates in Alerts Composer to do this. You can enable alerts for these use cases:

• A candidate's job changes to the job specified in the succession plan.
• A candidate moves to a job that’s different from the job specified in the succession plan.
• The plan incumbent moves to a different role.
• A candidate moves to a position that’s different from the position specified in the succession plan.
• A candidate's position changes to the position specified in the succession plan.
• A candidate moves to a role different from the plan incumbent's role.
• A candidate moves to the plan incumbent's role.

NOTE: By default, all alerts are disabled.

Alerts Composer - Succession Plan Assignment Change Alert Templates

The succession plans alert templates are extensible. This table lists the actions that you can do on the templates.

Action	Can Do?
Disable the delivered alerts.	Yes
Change the text of the subject line and the message in the alert.	Yes
Change the expressions used in the subject line or message.	No
Delete the delivered template.	No
Change the template name or the communication method.	No

From this release, an Alerts section is available for a succession plan. When you create or edit succession plans, you can select appropriate check boxes in this section to send notifications for assignment changes of either the plan incumbent or candidates. As an administrator, you can use Transaction Design Studio (TDS) to show or hide this section. You can also show or hide the notification related check boxes in the Alerts section of a succession plan using TDS.

When creating or editing succession plans, if the Alerts section is visible, you can specify if you want alerts to be sent for these scenarios by selecting the appropriate check boxes:

• A candidate moves to the plan role.
• A candidate moves to a role that is different from the plan role.
• The plan incumbent changes roles.

NOTE: The check box for sending notifications for plan incumbent changing roles is shown only for Incumbent type plans.

Alerts Section of Succession Plan

You can hide the Alerts section in a succession plan and the check boxes in the section using Transaction Design Studio.

1. Enable a sandbox and then edit your pages at the Site level.
2. Open HCM Experience Design Studio.
3. Select the Transaction Design Studio tab.
4. From the Action list, select Succession Plans.
5. Add a rule.
6. Enter the basic details.
7. From the Data Source list of the Available Attributes section, select Plan Info.
8. To hide the Alerts section, set the Alerts attribute to Not visible.
9. To hide the check boxes that control alerts for succession plans, set these attributes to Not visible:

• Send alerts when candidates move to roles that are different from the plan role
• Send alerts when candidates move to the plan role
• Send alerts when the incumbent changes roles

10. Click Save and Close.

Regardless of the check box settings in the Alerts section, you can see an information banner when you open an active succession plan for these cases:

• Candidate moves to a different role than the plan role.
• Candidate moves to the plan role.
• Incumbent moves to a different role.

You can hide the banners other than that which is shown for a candidate moving to the plan role. But remember that after hiding the banners, you can’t see them the next time you open the succession plan.

Information Banner in Candidates Section of a Succession Plan

Note that when the candidate’s assignment changes, succession plan owners who don’t have access to a candidate outside the Succession Management area can also see the information banners and receive notifications, if enabled.

As a system administrator, you can disable the information banners that you don’t want to show using Transaction Design Studio. Remember that after you disable the information banners, no owner can see the banners.

1. Enable a sandbox and then edit your pages at the Site level.
2. Open HCM Experience Design Studio.
3. Select the Transaction Design Studio tab.
4. From the Action list, select Succession Plans.
5. Add a rule.
6. Enter the basic details.
7. To hide the banners, in the Available Attributes section, set these attributes to Not visible.

   Data Source	Attributes
   Candidates	Banner for Candidate Changing Role Banner for Candidate Moving to Incumbent Role
   Plan Info	Banner for Incumbent Changing Role

8. Click Save and Close.

Additionally, when you open a succession plan, you can identify from when each candidate is in the current job.

Candidates Section Showing From When Candidate Is in Current Job

Enhance your succession planning by getting up-to-date information about the assignment changes of employees who are incumbents and candidates of succession plans. You can accordingly modify your succession plans and ensure business continuity.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• Although you can add new templates in Alert Composer for succession plans, the new templates won’t trigger any notifications.
• View-only owners or candidate manager owners can’t change the notification settings in the Alerts section of a succession plan.
• All users who have automatic access to the succession plan and plan owners of Administrator type can update the notification settings in the Alerts section of a succession plan.
• You can view the check boxes in the Alerts section irrespective of the templates being enabled or disabled in the Alerts Composer. 
• For inactive succession plans, you can’t see the Alerts section. Alerts aren’t sent and banners won’t display unless the banners existed before the plan was made inactive.
• For position plans, plan owners won’t receive notifications if only the candidate's job and not the position changes.
• Only named plan owners of Administrator or Candidate Manager type receive the alert notifications. View-only owners aren't notified.
• If the job change needs to be approved in Human Resources, notification isn’t sent until the job change has been approved.
• For future-dated job changes, notification is sent when the job change occurs or when the change is approved. This means that plan owners are notified of future-dated assignment changes after the job changes have been updated in Human Resources.
• Inferred plan owners, candidate manager owners, and plan owners of Administrator type can hide the banners shown on the succession plan page.
• View-only owners can’t hide the banners shown on the succession plan page.
• You can no longer see the banner if the assignment change for a candidate or incumbent is deleted.
• You can’t see banners for assignment changes that don’t involve job changes.

Key Resources

Super User for Talent Pools

Create a talent pools super user who can access all talent pools in your organization. The super user can create a talent pool or delete any talent pool. A super user can perform these actions for a talent pool without being a named owner:

• Add any person that the super user has access to as a pool owner.
• Delete any pool owner.
• Add any person that the super user has access to as a member of a talent pool.
• Delete any pool member from the talent pool.
• Add development goals for the pool members.
• View profile related data such as Risk of Loss, Impact of Loss, or mobility of pool members based on their profiles data security if they have been made visible.
• Set any talent pool as inactive.
• Add any existing talent pool to a Talent Review meeting configuration or dashboard.
• Report on all talent pools across the organization.

Ensure business continuity and talent development by allowing the talent pool super user to manage talent pools across your organization.

Steps to Enable

1. You need to create a talent pools super user custom job role and ensure that the job role has these function security privileges:

• Manage Talent Pool (HRM_MANAGE_TALENT_POOL_PRIV)
• Access Talent Pool Overview (HRM_IDENTIFY_TALENT_POOL_MEMBERS_AND_ASSIGN_GOALS_PRIV)
• Create Talent Pool (HRM_CREATE_TALENT_POOL_PRIV)
• Use REST Service - Succession Management Lists of Values (HRM_REST_SERVICE_ACCESS_SUCCESSION_MANAGEMENT_LOVS_PRIV)

2. A talent pools super user custom job role also needs to have an All Values data security policy for these actions:

• Manage Talent Pool
• Choose Talent Pool

3. For OTBI access, a talent pools super user custom job role needs to have these duty roles:

• FBI_SUCCESSION_MANAGEMENT_TRANSACTION_ANALYSIS_DUTY
• FBI_TALENT_REVIEW_TRANSACTION_ANALYSIS_DUTY
• ORA_FBI_SUCCESSION_MANAGEMENT_TRANSACTION_ANALYSIS_DUTY_HCM
• ORA_FBI_TALENT_REVIEW_TRANSACTION_ANALYSIS_DUTY_HCM

4. For OTBI, a talent pools super user custom job role also needs to have an All Values data security policy for the Report Talent Pool action.
5. You then have to assign the custom job role to the users who you want to be the super users.

Role Information

If you have any existing custom roles for talent pool users, you need to do these tasks:

• Replace Access Talent Pool Overview privilege (HRM_IDENTIFY_TALENT_POOL_MEMBERS_AND_ASSIGN_GOALS_PRIV) with Access Talent Pool Overview duty role (ORA_HRM_ACCESS_TALENT_POOL_OVERVIEW).
• Replace Manage Talent Pool privilege (HRM_MANAGE_TALENT_POOL_PRIV) with Manage Talent Pool duty role (ORA_HRM_MANAGE_TALENT_POOL).

Similarly for OTBI, ensure that these roles are added:

• If FBI_SUCCESSION_MANAGEMENT_TRANSACTION_ANALYSIS_DUTY is being used to secure the subject area, then in the Role Hierarchy train stop ensure that the ORA_FBI_SUCCESSION_MANAGEMENT_TRANSACTION_ANALYSIS_DUTY_HCM role is added.
• If FBI_TALENT_REVIEW_TRANSACTION_ANALYSIS_DUTY is being used to secure the subject area, then in the Role Hierarchy train stop ensure that the ORA_FBI_TALENT_REVIEW_TRANSACTION_ANALYSIS_DUTY_HCM role is added.

Allow users to directly access the edit succession plan and talent pool pages through embedded deep links. Enhance your reporting by embedding deep links that allows users to edit succession plans or talent pools immediately.

Steps to Enable

To enable the responsive overview pages for Succession Planning and Talent Pools, you must enable the following profile option.

NOTE: This step of enabling profile is for existing customers only. New customers starting with 19D or a later release do not need to setup these profiles, as the new responsive screens are delivered by default.

Field	Value
Profile Option Code	HRM_SUCCESSION_RESPONSIVE_ENABLED

You must also have enabled the HCM_RESPONSIVE_PAGES_ENABLED profile option. If you have not enabled the HCM_RESPONSIVE_PAGES_ENABLED profile option, see the HCM Responsive User Experience Setup Information (Document 2399671.1) on My Oracle Support.

To enable the profile option, navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area:

1. Search for and click the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.
2. Search for and select the profile option.
3. Click to add a new Profile Value.
4. Select the Level as Site.
5. Enter a Y in the Profile Value field.
6. Click Save and Close.

Tips And Considerations

• Don’t access the Edit Succession Plan (SUCCESSION_PLAN,EDIT) and Edit Talent Pool (TALENT_POOL,EDIT) deep links from the Deep Links page. These deep links won’t work because you need to pass the pPlanId and pPoolId parameters for succession plan and talent pool deep links.
• You need to have access to the Succession Overview page to use the succession plan and talent pool deep links.
• 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.
• We recommend not to use these deep links to create a menu items for user navigation.

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).

Securing Access for Employees with Multiple Assignments in Succession Plan and Talent Pool Quick Actions

Leverage assignment-level security in the Add to Plan and Add to Pool Quick Actions. If your organization allows employees to have multiple concurrent assignments, you can restrict a user's access to a person's assignment based on the user's area of access. Your organization can uptake assignment-based security by enabling a new assignment-level security profile option and regenerating your data grants and security profiles.

Here’s what you can do with succession plans and talent pools after you uptake assignment-based security:

• When you use the Add to Succession Plan or Create Succession Plan quick actions, you can only search for and view the assignments of an employee that you have access to. You can’t see all the assignments of an employee.
• After you select an employee to add to a succession plan, you will see only their primary assignment information in the plan details page regardless of the assignment that you selected.
• When you use the Add to Talent Pool or Create Talent Pool quick actions, you can only search for and view the assignments of an employee that you have access to. You can’t see all the assignments of an employee.
• After you select an employee to add to a talent pool, you will see only their primary assignment information in the pool details page regardless of the assignment that you selected.
• When you search for a plan incumbent, candidate, or owner in a succession plan, you can see only the primary assignment information regardless of the assignment that you have access to.
• When you search for a pool member or owner in a talent pool, you can see only the primary assignment information regardless of the assignment that you have access to.

Enhance data security by allowing users to view only the information that they have access to.

Steps to Enable

For more information regarding the steps to enable assignment-level security, see the HCM Common 20D What's New feature Secure Access for Workers with Multiple Assignments Steps to Enable section.

Consolidating anytime feedback provided in one page makes it convenient to the user rather than tracking them in Notifications page.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

If you go to any of your worker's Feedback page, you will not see the new section. It's for the workers themselves to view all the anytime feedback.

Profiles Replaced or Removed Features

Request Information Before Approval

Make better decisions while approving performance goals by getting more information regarding the goal sent for approval from others in the organization and not just the employee who is seeking approval.

Steps to Enable

You need to enable approvals for performance goals in Transaction Console.

Assignment Level Security for Performance Goals

If your organization allows employees to have multiple concurrent assignments, you can restrict a user's access to an employee's performance goal plans and individual goals at an assignment level. Your organization can uptake assignment-based security by enabling a new assignment-level security profile option and regenerating your data grants and security profiles.

When assignment security is enabled, employees who have multiple assignments can view goals for each assignment on their Goals page. Enabling assignment-level security doesn't impact the employee's view of their Goals page.

Goals for Application Developer 1 Assignment for a Review Period

When assignment security is enabled, as a manager or an HR specialist, you can view the performance goals details of an employee only for the assignments that your security profiles allows.

On the Goals and Performance Overview page, you can see only the assignments that you have access to for your team members.

Goals and Performance Overview Page of a Manager

On the Goals spotlight page of an employee, you can see the goal details only for the assignments that you have access to. If a person with HR and Manager privilege has created a goal for the employee, the source for that goal is HR and Manager.

Manager Views Goals for Only Accessible Assignments in Goals Spotlight

When you create a mass assignment of performance goals, you can select a specific assignment for both the requester and employees included in the assignment. Note that when you include a requester, you can add only the requester goals that you can access.

Performance Goal Mass Assignment – Requester Goals

As a manager, when you use the digital assistant to get performance goal data about your team members, you will get responses only for the assignments that you can access.

When you use the Manage Goals deep link, on the Goals page, you can only see the team members who have an assignment that you have secured access to. Note that even if a team member has multiple assignments, the person is listed only once on the page. When you click a team member’s name on this page, you can see that person's Goals page which also honors assignment-level security.

Goals Page Seen On Using Manage Goals Deep Link

Team Member’s Goals Page

As a manager when you submit a performance goal plan for approval, the approval rule identifies the approver by using any assignment hierarchy. It doesn’t just consider the primary assignment. For example, when you submit a performance goal plan for approval for an employee’s secondary assignment, the manager for that assignment receives the approval notification.

Streamline goal management by allowing employees to manage only goals that are relevant to a specific assignment.

Steps to Enable

For more information about the steps for enabling assignment-level security, see the 20D HCM Common What's New - Secure Access for Workers with Multiple Assignments feature's Steps to Enable section.

Tips And Considerations

• If your security profile allows you to access more than one assignment, on the Goals page of an employee, you see the data for the selected assignment. Note that you can select other assignments from the Business Title list if your security profile allows it and view the related data. 
• When you view multiple assignments for an employee, the assignments are displayed in this order:
  • Active primary assignment
  • Active non-primary assignments
  • Suspended primary assignments
  • Suspended non-primary assignments
  • Inactive assignments
• You can share goals with any employee in your organization even if you don't have access to any assignment of the employee.
• When assignment-level security isn't enabled and an employee has multiple assignments, managers can select and view the goal details of all assignments.

Print the Received Feedback

Consolidating all feedback given and received in one page makes it convenient to the user.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• You can revise the feedback, if you are requested to do.
• You will not see any feedback requests in Pending or In progress status for the feedback recipients if workers are terminated after the request is sent.
• You will not see any completed feedback requests if workers are terminated after the request is sent.
• If you go to any of your worker's Feedback page, you will not see the new section.
• It's for the workers themselves to view all the requested feedback.

Indirect Managers View Feedback Responses

Data Loader Support to Transfer Performance Documents to New Managers

Update the performance document manager on a performance document for an employee if the original manager should no longer complete the evaluation tasks. Use HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader (HSDL) or HCM Data Loader (HDL) and the Performance Document object to transfer performance documents to new performance document managers.

Change the performance document manager by updating the new manager's assignment number. Make sure you enter Update Performance Document Manager as the value for the Operation attribute.

Streamline transferring mass performance documents to new managers using HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader (HSDL) or HCM Data Loader (HDL).

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

Make sure the assignment number of the new manager is not an assignment number for the employee being evaluated. If the assignment number of the new manager belongs to a participant with an open feedback request, then they should be locked out of those requests.

Mass Change Current Performance Task

Simplify mass changing of the current task in performance documents using the Process Mass Actions for Performance Documents page to initiate a scheduled process. You can use the Change Current Task in Performance Document process to perform a mass change to start a specific task even if previous tasks are incomplete. For example, you want the ratings calibrated, but some employees haven't finished their self-evaluations even though the current task should be set to manager evaluation.

Search for a set of employees to update the current task in their performance documents. Then preview the results of the process in a log file or choose to submit it immediately. The process may move an employee's performance document to a task further along to a later task or backwards to an earlier task. If this happens, then the owner of either the new current task or the owner of each bypassed task is notified.

You can use this process to quickly perform a mass change to start a specific task even if previous tasks are incomplete.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

You must have the privilege for the classic HR page to update performance tasks on the Process Mass Actions for Performance Documents page.

Lock Manager Share Task to Support Calibration

Configure the performance document to stop managers from completing the share task and sharing their ratings and comments with employees. You start by enabling the Allow document sharing task to be locked for calibration option in the performance process flow. This action gives you the ability to then select the Lock Manager Share Task option for a document period for that process flow. This means that any performance document you create which uses this document period, the manager won't be able to complete the Share Document task. When the calibration period is over, you can deselect the Lock Manager Share Task option so that managers can complete the share task as normal.

Allow Document Sharing Task To Be Locked for Calibration Check Box on the Process Flow Page

Lock Manager Share Task Option on the Document Periods Tab in the Performance Template Page

If the manager attempts to share their ratings and the Lock the Manager Share task is enabled, then a banner displays to inform them that they can't share just yet because the performance document is locked for calibration.

Banner Displays Informing the User That They Can't Share the Manager Evaluations

This feature provides clearer integration between Performance and the calibration of the manager's ratings in Compensation to inform managers when calibration is in progress.

Steps to Enable

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

Key Resources

For more information on calibration, see Performance Rating Calibration in Oracle HCM Cloud (Document ID 2287336.1)

Simplified Check-In Creation Process

The creation of a check-in document, discussion topics, and notes is now simpler and user-friendly. As a manager or employee, when you create a check-in document, you need to select a check-in template. You can preview the sections in the selected check-in template and decide whether you want to use this template for your check-in document.

Viewing the Check-In Template Sections on Selecting a Template

Unlike earlier, you can now create a discussion topic and note as a combined action. After creating the check-in document, click the Add button in the Discussion Topics region. Provide a title for the discussion topic and enter your notes and click Save. The discussion topic and the note are created and is listed in the check-in document.

NOTE: Discussion topic is created even If you don't add the note.

Creating a Discussion Topic and Note Combined Into One Action

NOTE: Addition of discussion topics are based on the check-in template settings.

Simpler and user-friendly task reducing the steps to create a check-in document, includes adding a discussion topic and note in a single step.

Steps to Enable

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

Search Enhancements to Manager Evaluate Performance Page

Start work quicker on the manage Evaluate Performance page which expands all the filters by default. Other changes include the All Evaluatees and Direct Reports options are now both links, selecting one automatically deselects the other. The default selection is now All Evaluatees instead of Direct Reports. This selection also displays surrogate performance documents, where the performance document manager is not a manager on the employee's assignment. HR specialists can help managers using this page by configuring an information banner in HCM Experience Design Studio. The banner can advise managers to use the Business Title switcher to see other performance documents they manage under another assignment.

Display additional data to make the page even easier to use.

Steps to Enable

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

Transfer Performance Document to Participant as New Manager

HR specialists and performance document managers can now assign a participant, who previously provided feedback for the employee's performance document, as the performance document manager. This feature offers support for when an employee transfers to a new manager on their assignment and even if that manager has previously provided feedback they can still be the performance document manager. You can now do this without deleting the feedback they provided as a participant.

This ability to select a participant as the new performance document manager, even if they've provided feedback for the employee previously, allows for easy transfers.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• If the new manager has any open participant requests for the performance document, then they will be locked and the manager can't complete them.
• You can't select the new performance document manager as a participant for a new feedback request.
• You can select the previous performance document manager as a participant for a new feedback request.

Enhancements to HR Admin Pages

Enhance the HR specialist's user experience by displaying the same employee attributes on the HR admin pages. Use the HCM Transaction Design Studio to control the display of data for the HR admin pages in Performance Management. For example, you can hide some of the attributes in the Participant Feedback page but show them in the other performance admin pages. Or maybe you don't want a certain attribute to display, such as the person number, so you can hide it in HCM Transaction Design Studio. For the HR specialist, these changes can make the pages more familiar and easier to complete, and therefore save time.

Hide or show attributes on the HR admin pages in HCM Transaction Design Studio for a more simple user experience for the HR specialist.

Steps to Enable

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

Enhanced Performance Management Security for Workers with Multiple Assignments

If your organization uses multiple assignments, then take advantage of this new assignment-level security for performance documents and check-in access feature. For managers and HR specialists, if this assignment-level security is enabled, then they can see and have access to the assignments that are in their security profile. For example, a manager can view performance information for the assignments they manage. A HR specialist can view the performance documents for employee assignments for which they have access to in the HR admin pages.

Assignment-Level security allows you for a new level of security access.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

Approvals for performance documents are assigned according to the employee's assignment for first-level approvers. After that, subsequent approvers are assigned using the primary assignment of the previous approver. If an employee has multiple assignments, then approvals for performance documents on those assignments are assigned according to the employee's assignment for first-level approvers. Subsequent levels of approver are assigned using the primary assignment of the previous approver.

Remember that assignment security applies to responsive performance management pages only and not the classic pages.

If an employee has multiple assignments and a manager accesses the employee's Performance page, then the assignment defaults to the one the manager is associated to. The manager can select the employee's other assignments from the business title list if their security profile allows.

Key Resources

For additional information on assignment level security, refer to the HCM Common 20D What's New feature: Secure Access for Workers with Multiple Assignments.

Securing Access for Employees with Multiple Assignments in Feedback and Request Feedback Quick Actions

Leverage assignment-level security in the Feedback and Request Feedback quick actions. If your organization allows employees to have multiple concurrent assignments, you can restrict a user's access to a person's assignment based on the user's area of access. Your organization can uptake assignment-based security by enabling a new assignment-level security profile option and by regenerating your data grants and security profiles.

After you uptake assignment-based security, when you use the Feedback or Request Feedback quick actions, you can only search for and view the assignments of an employee that you have access to. You can't see the assignments of an employee.

Users can now access the correct worker assignments based on their area of access.

Steps to Enable

Please refer the 20D HCM Common What's New feature: Secure Access for Workers with Multiple Assignments.

Purge Historic Performance Eligibility Status Data

Use the new Purge Historic Performance Management Eligibility Status Data process to permanently delete performance eligibility status data. Did you know that every time you run the eligibility batch process, the application stores the data in tables and if the data isn't deleted it can cause performance issues. This process is available as a scheduled process and as an option on the Manage Eligibility Batch Process which you run from My Client Groups> Performance> Setup Maintenance.

Purge Option on the Manage Eligibility Batch Process

The process uses the date you select to purge any data older than this date. The data will be permanently deleted.

Improve the performance of your application and free up storage by permanently deleting unnecessary data.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

Uptake of Assignment Hierarchy

In HCM, each employee can have multiple assignments, and each assignment has its own management chain. All the assignments for the employee appear in the Directory work area (Me > Directory).

Every assignment can now have its own management hierarchy used for approval instead of always relying on primary assignment as before. As an administrator, you can now decide to use the primary assignment or other assignments for the requisition and offer approval process. Also, you can now select the recruiter in the approval chain for requisition and offer approvals.

As a recruiter, when you define the hiring team or offer team in a job requisition, the selector for the Hiring Manager, Recruiter, and Collaborator now lists all the assignments for a person, not only the primary assignment. The name, business title, email, and person number are displayed on the list. The business title is used to identify the assignment.

Selector with Assignments

The main benefits of this new feature include the appropriate approval routing based on the hiring manager assignment, which can go to an entirely different approval path without requiring to be manually rerouted to the right approvers. It also allows the creation of job offers in the right hierarchy without requiring the human resource specialist to change the line manager assignment where the new employee or new assignment of an internal employee will report.

Steps to Enable

To configure the management hierarchy for the requisition and offer approvals:

1. Go to the Tools work area.
2. Click Transaction Console.
3. Click the Approval Rules tab.
4. Select the Approve Job Requisition or Approve Job Offer and click the Edit icon.
5. Click the Management Hierarchy box.
6. Go to the Management Hierarchy section at the bottom of the page.
7. In the Approval Chain Of field, select one of these options:

• Hiring Manager
• Requestor
• Recruiter (new)
• User

8. If you select Hiring Manager or Recruiter, you can select an assignment type:

• Use primary assignment hierarchy (default value)
• Use current assignment hierarchy

Candidates and Candidate Job Applications

Candidate Security

In previous releases, when a recruiter or member of the Hiring Team was searching for candidates, all confirmed candidates would show up in search results. With this release, recruiters and Hiring Team members can see candidates that they're responsible for by Country, Person Type, and Recruiting Type. Using candidate security, your organization can define candidate security profile, data role, and assign it to right set of users

Secure candidates by Country, Recruiting Type, and Person Type.

Steps to Enable

If your organization wants to use Candidate Security, you need to follow these configuration steps.

Create a Candidate Security Profile

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

• Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
• Functional Area: Recruiting and Candidate Experience Management
• Task: Candidate Security Profiles (Use Show All Tasks to see this task)

2. On the Candidate Security Profiles page, click Create.
3. Enter a name and a description.
4. Create a candidate security profile with appropriate dimensions, by country, recruiting type, and person type.
5. Click Save and Close.

Create a Data Role and Assign the Security Profile

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, search for the task Manage Data Role and Security Profiles.
2. On the Data Roles and Security Profiles page, click Create.
3. On the Create Data Role page, enter a data role, select a job role, and enter role description. 
4. On the Security Criteria page, select security criteria to see the appropriate visibility. 
5. On the Person Security Profile page, select the security profile you just created in the Candidate Security Profile field.

Assign the Data Role to Users

1. From the left navigation menu go to Tools and click Security Console.
2. Click the Users tab. 
3. On the User Accounts page, find the user to whom you want to assign the data role with the candidate security.
4. Click Edit.
5. Assign the role.
6. Click Save and Close.

Set the Profile Option

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, search for the task Manage Administrator Profile Values.
2. On the Manage Administrator Profile Values page, search for the profile option ORA_IRC_CANDIDATE_SECURITY_ENABLED.
3. Set the profile value to Y.
4. Click Save and Close.

Once the option is set to Y, candidate security will be based on the assigned roles and security profile.

NOTE: After setting this profile option to Y, if a user doesn’t have a role with desired profile visibility, they won’t see any candidates in candidate search.

Tips And Considerations

By default, recruiters and Hiring Team members can see all candidates when searching for candidates because of the View All seeded role.

NOTE: It's strongly recommended to first define the candidate security profile, create or modify data roles, and assign them to the appropriate users before enabling candidate security by setting up the profile option (ORA_IRC_CANDIDATE_SECURITY_ENABLED) to Y. This will avoid a sudden loss of candidates not appearing in search.

Create a Candidate Without Email, Phone, or Both

Certain categories of customers have candidates that don’t have any email or phone number such as seasonal, temporary, construction workers. In such cases, as a Recruiter or Hiring Manager, you can create a candidate without email, or phone, or both. You can take the candidate though the application, interview, and offer process without any communication. At a later time, you can add a phone or email, if needed and available.

By default, the Email field will continue to be a mandatory field. Based on your business needs, your administrator can configure your career sites so that email is mandatory when candidates apply for a job (current behavior) or that phone is mandatory (new behavior). All candidates will have at least email or phone (or both, if the candidate enters the info).

Create Candidate

Customers who want to do volume or seasonal recruiting will be able to create candidates appropriately.

Steps to Enable

You can create rules in Transaction Design Studio to set the email and phone fields as 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 the Contact Information data source.
6. Decide if you want the Email Address and Phone Number fields to be required.
7. Click Save and Close.

Preview Attachments on Job Applications

You can preview job application attachments provided by candidates.

When you go to the Job Applications list of a job requisition, you can preview resume attachments directly from the list. When you click the attachment, the file opens in a different tab.

When you go to a job application's Attachments tab, you can display attachment previews in the Supporting Documents section for resume, cover letter, and miscellaneous attachment categories. In the View menu, you select Preview and then the file you want to preview. The selected file renders as PDF on the screen.

Candidate Experience

Improved Candidate Self Service Accessibility

The candidate self service background color is now lighter to ensure the elements contrast ratio guarantees accessibility. You can modify the color using a custom CSS.

Improve the candidate experience even more by aligning to accessibility standards.

Steps to Enable

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

Pixel Tracking

You can use pixel tracking to track your external candidates when they click apply, start applying, and submit job applications.

You can use third party tools to track candidates and measure how many candidates who initiate a job application eventually submit their application.

Steps to Enable

You configure Pixel Tracking in the career site editor.

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

• Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
• Functional Area: Candidate Experience
• Task: Career Sites Configuration

2. On the Career Sites Configuration page, click Edit next to a site.
3. In the General tab, expand the section called Tracking Pixel.
4. You can configure these URLs:

• URL when clicking the Apply button
• URL when starting a job application
• URL when submitting a job application

5. You can personalize the parameter names for Candidate ID and Requisition ID.
6. You can preview the complete URL.

Posting Expiration Date Displayed to Internal Candidates

When you create a job requisition, you can enter the date and time when the job will expire. In the job requisition’s Posting tab, the Expiration Date field is available in the Internal Career Site and External Career Sites sections.

Expiration Date Field in Job Requisition

In the Current Jobs work area, the job details page displays the posting expiration date and time for jobs posted internally and externally. Internal candidates can see the posting expiration date of a job to ensure they submit their job application or referral while the job requisition is active.

Present internal candidates with the job requisition expiration date to ensure their job applications and referrals are submitted on time.

Steps to Enable

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

Reuse Phone Numbers

You can allow external candidates to reuse the phone number that was used by another candidate in the past. Candidates can claim a phone number as genuinely being their own.

In some areas, when a person stops using a phone number, providers are re-allocating the phone number to a new person. If these two people are applying for a job in Oracle Recruiting Cloud, additional verification is required to ensure that the person is who they claim to be and the new candidate who genuinely owns the phone must be able to assert this fact, while at the same time not exposing info from the general profile or job applications of the previous owner.

Here’s how the feature works.

Use case 1: A returning candidate applies for a job, candidate has used the same device before.

Let’s say candidate Jane B has a candidate file in Oracle Recruiting Cloud. Jane applies for a job and enters the phone number 510.123.1234. This phone number is recognized and a previous cookie is found. A 6-digit verification code is sent to Jane’s phone and Jane enters the verification code. Jane continues to apply for the job. Jane’s profile is updated and a new application is created.

Use case 2: A new candidate applies with phone number used by another candidate before

Let’s say John A exists in the system with a phone number 510.123.1234 assigned to his profile as verified. Now another candidate Jane B doesn’t have a candidate file in Oracle Recruiting Cloud. Jane applies for a job and enters the phone number 510.123.1234. This phone number is recognized, but no previous cookie is found. Jane is asked to enter her last name. The last name and phone number don’t match and Jane is offered to claim the phone number. A 6-digit verification code is sent to Jane’s phone and Jane enters the verification code. Jane continues to apply for the job. Jane’s profile is created and her phone number is now verified (John A phone number gets unverified).

If Jane decides to no longer apply for the job, a draft profile is saved. If Jane applies to another job using the phone number, the draft profile will be connected to Jane.

This feature brings another layer of security to phone number verification in those areas where phone numbers get re-allocated. This feature also allows to create new candidate profiles even though the phone number used belonged previously to another candidate.

Steps to Enable

The feature is inactive by default. To enable it:

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

• Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
• Functional Area: Recruiting and Candidate Experience Management
• Task: Enterprise Recruiting and Candidate Experience Information

2. Go to the Candidate Last Name Verification and Phone Number Request section, and select Active.

Search Jobs on Map

External candidates can explore jobs using a map view. Posted jobs are pinned on the map, giving candidates a nice visual way to see job locations. Candidate can easily access job details and calculate commute time.

When the feature is enabled, the default view on search results is to show jobs on a map. The map is showing jobs matching search criteria (keyword and location) based on the geo-coordinates returned for those jobs. If a job has work locations, the geo-coordinates for those work locations are considered in the map view. If the job doesn't have work locations, the geo-coordinates of posting locations are used instead.

Search Jobs on a Map

You can explore available jobs more easily using a visual map view.

Steps to Enable

You first need to set up the map provider used to display jobs on the career site.

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

• Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
• Functional Area: Candidate Experience
• Task: Configure Candidate Experience Map Provider

2. On the Configure Candidate Experience Map Provider page, click Add.
3. Enter a name, code, and description.
4. Select a provider.
5. In the Provider Settings section, enter the API key.
6. Click Save and Close.
7. Activate the provider.

You can configure multiple map providers but only one can be active.

You then need to enable the map provider at the career site level. By default the feature is disabled.

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

• Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
• Functional Area: Candidate Experience
• Task: Career Sites Configuration

2. On the Career Sites Configuration page, click Edit next to a career site.
3. On the General tab, expand the Search Job on Map section.
4. Select the option Enable searching jobs on map.

If your jobs have work locations but the career site is setup not to display work locations, those jobs won't be visible on the map. 

Tips And Considerations

This feature is dependent on Oracle Search.

Candidate Selection Process

Automatically Initiate a Candidate Duplicate Check

The candidate selection process can be configured to automatically initiate a candidate duplicate check. Automatic initiation can be configured at multiple points in the candidate selection process. When a job application reaches a specific state in a phase, the candidate duplicate check is automatically triggered.

The recruiter or designated members of the hiring team are informed of duplicate check results. They receive a notification about the candidate and the number of duplicates found. The recipient can click a link to see the duplicates. Candidates can be automatically progressed in the selection process based on duplicate check results.

Automatic candidate duplicate check enhances the recruiting process. It eliminates the need for recruiters to manually run a candidate duplicate check at predetermined check points in the candidate selection process, verify the duplicate check results, and later progress the candidate application to an appropriate phase or state.

Automatic candidate duplicate check also allows you to define rules to automatically progress the candidate job application to a predetermined phase and state.

This combination of automatic initiation and progression helps recruiters and hiring managers in their decision making and drawing attention of a recruiter or hiring manager only when it's necessary to evaluate the results and decide on the next step.

Steps to Enable

Automatic Initiation of Candidate Duplicate Check

When you configure a candidate selection process, you can add the new action Candidate Duplicate Check Notification at the phase or state level. This will automatically initiate a candidate duplicate check when a job application reaches a specific phase or state. This action can be configured at multiple points during the candidate selection process to identify duplicate candidates if you gather data from a candidate incrementally as the candidate progresses in the selection process.

While configuring this action, you can select members of the hiring team who will receive candidate duplicate check results such as the recruiter, hiring manager, or other designated members. You can also select an email notification template. A new notification is available in the Recruiting Content Library: Auto Run Dupe Check Notification. The notification contains info about the candidate and the number of duplicates found. The recipient can click a link to see the duplicates.

You can also set the threshold "Minimum Match Score to Send Notification" for receiving a notification. The notification will be sent to the recipients only when the duplicate check match score is equal to or greater than the set threshold.

Duplicate Check Configuration Page

Automatic Progression in the Candidate Selection Process Based on Duplicate Check Results

You can move the candidate job application to a predetermined phase and state by configuring a fast formula.

Here are examples of fast formulas:

--- A duplicate candidate exists ---

DEFAULT FOR IRC_CSP_CANDIDATE_DUP_CHECK_DUPLICATE_EXISTS IS 'N'

CONDITION_RESULT = 'N'

IF IRC_CSP_CANDIDATE_DUP_CHECK_DUPLICATE_EXISTS = 'Y'THEN CONDITION_RESULT = 'Y'

RETURN CONDITION_RESULT

--- Duplicate match score ---

DEFAULT FOR IRC_CSP_CANDIDATE_DUP_CHECK_MATCH_SCORE IS 'ORA_NONE'

CONDITION_RESULT = 'N'IF IRC_CSP_CANDIDATE_DUP_CHECK_MATCH_SCORE = 'ORA_NONE'THEN CONDITION_RESULT = 'Y'

RETURN CONDITION_RESULT

--- Duplicate count ---

DEFAULT FOR IRC_CSP_CANDIDATE_DUP_CHECK_MATCH_COUNT IS -1

CONDITION_RESULT = 'N'

IF IRC_CSP_CANDIDATE_DUP_CHECK_MATCH_COUNT > 0 THENCONDITION_RESULT = 'Y'

RETURN CONDITION_RESULT

DBIs to Configure Fast Formula:

• Duplicate Exists (Text) - IRC_CSP_CANDIDATE_DUP_CHECK_DUPLICATE_EXISTS. Will have value ORA_NONE on successful run of duplicate check process resulting in no duplicates.
• Match Score (Text) - IRC_CSP_CANDIDATE_DUP_CHECK_DUPLICATE_EXISTS. Will have value ORA_HIGHEST or ORA_HIGHER or ORA_HIGH or ORA_MEDIUM or = ORA_LOWEST or ORA_NONE.
• Match Count For Highest Match Score (Number) - IRC_CSP_CANDIDATE_DUP_CHECK_MATCH_COUNT. Maximum value is 10.

Tips And Considerations

Set threshold to receive notifications to higher levels during advanced phase and states in the candidate selection process.

Job Application EFFs and Question Answers Database Items for CSP Fast Formulas

You can define fast formulas and use them as conditions for candidate selection process automated actions using answers to prescreening questions, answers to Request for Information questions, and EFFs on job applications.

This allows you to further automate the candidate selection process by executing actions automatically based on answers or other information provided by candidates.

Steps to Enable

To achieve this, you can use these new database items in fast formulas of type "Recruiting Candidate Selection Process".

Database Items for Answers to Prescreening Questions

IRC_CSP_JOBAPP_PRESCREEN_RESPONSE_ANSWER_CODE: Answer provided by the candidate to a prescreening question (Code).

IRC_CSP_JOBAPP_PRESCREEN_RESPONSE_TEXT: Text provided by the candidate to answer a prescreening question.

IRC_CSP_JOBAPP_PRESCREEN_RESPONSE_ANSWER_SCORE: Score obtained by the candidate for a prescreening question.

IRC_CSP_JOBAPP_PRESCREEN_RESPONSE_QSTN_SCORE: Score obtained by the candidate for a prescreening question.

• Create a Fast Formula Used as a Condition in a Candidate Selection Process

Use Fast Formula Conditions at the Beginning of Candidate Selection Processes

As an administrator, when you configure actions in a candidate selection process, you can use fast formulas as conditions, even if the action is at the beginning of the candidate selection process. You can now use them:

• On the "When Entering Phase" event of the first phase.
• On the first state of the first phase.
• On an event or state which is reached automatically following an automated move from the beginning of the candidate selection process.

This features allows you to automate the first operations of a candidate selection process, based on specific conditions.

Steps to Enable

To configure a candidate selection workflow:

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. On the Candidate Selection Process Configuration page, click Create.

Email Address and Phone Number as Mandatory Fields in Application Flows

Candidates can now apply to jobs using phone number only.

As an administrator, you can create rules in Transaction Design Studio to make the Email Address and Phone Number fields as mandatory in apply flows, request information flows, and talent community flows. If no rule is created, the Email Address field is mandatory by default.

The rules you create only affect fields in the job application flow. They don't have any effect on the candidate authentication method. Candidates will still be able to decide whether they want to authenticate with a phone number or email address.

Improve the candidate experience by requiring only the communication channels you actually need from your candidates. Your application flow can now be more in line with the recruitment process requirements or market specifics.

Steps to Enable

Save Draft Request Information Flow Data

External candidates can save draft data they entered while completing a request information flow.

Here's how it works:

• The data is saved every 10 seconds. A candidate can drop off from the process and start over when ready, without losing any data.
• The candidate can access the request information flow using the URL provided in the notification they received or by accessing their candidate self service. If draft data was saved for a flow, it will be loaded when the flow is loaded.
• Draft data can't be viewed by recruiters or hiring managers. They can only be accessed by the candidate.
• If the candidate doesn't interact with the draft data for 30 days, data is automatically removed.
• If a candidate profile was updated after draft data was saved, profile data will update the saved draft data.

External candidates can drop off when filling out a request information flow and start over when ready without losing data they already provided.

Steps to Enable

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

Job Requisitions

Create Job Requisitions When Requesting New Positions

When you request a new position or duplicate an existing position, you can select a requisition template and then provide details about the new requisition to be created for this position. A new section called Requisition Details is available. Not all requisition fields are visible in the Requisition Details section, only a small subset of the standard requisition fields are available. You have control over which of these fields are visible. 

Requisition Details Section When Creating a Position

When you access the Requisition Details section for the first time, field values are defaulted to the appropriate values, following the same logic as when creating a requisition based on a position:

• Position field values are pre-filled into the requisition fields.
• Fields coming from the requisition template are pre-filled into the requisition fields, if a template was selected.
• Fields coming from other sources are pre-filled as usual.

The job requisition is created only when the position is approved. While the position is pending approval, the requisition isn’t visible in Oracle Recruiting Cloud.

If the user who submitted the position is allowed to submit job requisitions, the job requisition is submitted for approval automatically. If the job requisition can’t be successfully submitted (due to missing or invalid mandatory information for example), the requisition will remain in the Draft - In Progress status. If the user who submitted the position isn’t allowed to submit job requisitions, the requisition will be in the Draft - In Progress status.

With this features you can simplify and accelerate the creation of positions and job requisitions by performing both operations in a single step.

Steps to Enable

You can control if the Requisition Details section is visible in the request a new position flow. 

1. In the HCM Experience Design Studio page, click the Transaction Design Studio tab.
2. Select the Request a New Position 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 business unit and roles.
5. In the Show or Hide Regions section, go to Requisition Details and select Visible. You can also make the section required.
6. Click Save and Close.

You can also control which requisition fields are visible in the Requisition Details section. The below configuration can be done for the Request a New Position and the Position Details actions.

1. In the HCM Experience Design Studio page, click the Transaction Design Studio tab.
2. Select the Position Details 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 business unit and roles.
5. In the Page Attributes section, select the Requisition Details region.
6. Decide if you want the fields to be visible and required.
7. Click Save and Close.

You can configure job requisitions to be automatically approved if they have been created from a position. A new attribute is available in requisition approval rules: Requisition Creation Source. This attribute contains the ORA_POSITION value which indicates if the requisition was created using the Request a New Position or Duplicate Position action. If the requisition was not created while creating a position, the value is null.

To make it possible to provide a default value for all requisition fields when creating a requisition, the following fields were added to the standalone, job, and position requisition templates:"

• Display in Organization Chart
• Allow Candidates to Apply When Not Posted
• Automatically Fill Requisition

Role Information

Define Collaborator Types for Requisitions and Offers

Job requisition and job offer hiring teams have been enhanced to define custom collaborator types. When you create a job requisition or job offer, you can add collaborator types to help you define hiring team roles more precisely and to better manage communications with members of the job requisition and offer hiring teams.

As before, when a user is added as a collaborator on a job requisition or job offer (regardless of the collaborator type), the user has the required data security to view this requisition or offer.

Adding Collaborator Types

Now you can clearly define the expected role of each person added to a job requisition's hiring team or a job offer's offer team. Also allows communicating with members of the team based on their role on the hiring or offer team.

Steps to Enable

By default, the Collaborator collaborator type is always visible. It can't be disabled by administrators. 

To define new collaborator types:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, search for the task Manage Common Lookups.
2. Click the task name.
3. Search for the lookup type ORA_IRC_COLLABORATOR_RESP_TYPE.
4. Create new lookups as required. Lookup codes should not begin with the prefix “ORA”. 

Tips And Considerations

Existing collaborators on job requisitions and job offers will be automatically assigned to the Collaborator collaborator type with Update 20D.

Disqualifying Candidates Based on Individual Negative Answer

For disqualification questions, a single answer to a negative score of a disqualification question will disqualify a candidate. You will no longer need to enter a big negative number to cover for all cases of usage with various positive numbers.

This allows for an easy to understand mechanism and no need to anticipate all future questionnaires maximum possible score to adjust answer's negative score.

Steps to Enable

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

Key Resources

For details on disqualification questions, refer to the topic Create a Disqualification Question in the Implementing Hiring guide in the Oracle Help Center.

Fill Job Requisitions with Large Number of Active Job Applications

You can fill job requisitions manually or automatically when the required number of candidates was hired for the job, regardless of the number of active candidates on the requisition. In previous releases, you couldn’t fill a job requisition when there were more than 50 active candidates on the requisition.

When you fill a job requisition manually using the Fill Job Requisition action, or automatically using the Automatically Fill Requisition configuration option, here’s what happens depending on the number of activate candidates on the requisition:

• If the number of candidates is 50 or less, the fill action is done immediately.
• If the number of candidates is higher than 50, a message is displayed explaining that the requisition will soon be filled.

While waiting for the requisition to be filled, you can continue working on the requisition and its job applications. For instance, you can close the requisition manually, you can disposition job applications manually.

When the fill action is complete, you will receive a notification containing info about the number of job applications that were processed for each of these statuses. 

• Succeeded: Job applications that were successfully processed. 
• Failed: Job applications that were not successfully processed.  
• Skipped: Job applications that didn't need to be processed.

Save time by marking job requisitions as filled in a single operation, regardless of the number of job applications to disposition.

Steps to Enable

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

Key Resources

For more information about filling job requisitions, refer to these topics in the Using Recruiting guide on Oracle Help Center:

• Fill a Job Requisition
• Automatically Fill a Job Requisition

Hiring Team Notifications

You can send messages to hiring team members to notify them of actions they need to take on job requisitions, job applications, or job offers and keep them informed through the hiring process.

NOTE: Messages sent to the job offer hiring team can only be sent once a draft offer exists.

Let’s say you want to send a message regarding a job requisition:

1. Open a job requisition.
2. In the Actions menu, select the Send Message to Team action.
3. Indicate how you want to create the message.
   • Blank Message: You create a message using a blank form. You add recipients of the message and you create the message by entering a subject and message text, and using tokens.
   • Template: You create a message using a template. You can adjust it as needed. You can add or remove recipients and you can modify the message.
4. Preview the message to ensure tokens are being resolved as expected.

Send Message to Team

You can track the messages that were sent on the Interactions tab. All hiring team messages are available for review on either the requisition or job application’s Interactions tab.

Job requisition and job offer hiring teams have been enhanced to define custom collaborator types. When you create a job requisition or job offer, you can add collaborator types to help you define hiring team roles more precisely and to better manage communications with members of the job requisition and offer hiring teams.

Add Collaborator Type Menu

Watch a Demo

Keep job requisition and job offer stakeholders informed and involved in the requisition, job application, and job offer processes using hiring team notifications.

Steps to Enable

Before you enable the Hiring Team Notifications feature, consider whether you need more granular collaborator types on your job requisition and job offer hiring teams. Hiring team notification templates can be configured to be sent to specific hiring team members, so all hiring team collaborator types should be defined prior to creating notification templates. You also need to consider whether your organization will use hiring team notification templates. The new Send Message to Team action doesn’t require the use of templates but templates do save time and are especially convenient when the same messages are sent frequently across job requisitions, job applications, and job offers.

Create Collaborator Types

By default, this collaborator type is available:

• Collaborator

To define new collaborator types:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, search for the task Manage Common Lookups.
2. Click the task name.
3. Search for the lookup type ORA_IRC_COLLABORATOR_RESP_TYPE.
4. Create new lookups as required. Lookup codes should not begin with the prefix “ORA”. 

Create Hiring Team Notification Templates

You can create and manage a library of hiring team notification templates which can be sent in the context of job requisitions or job applications.

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

• Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
• Functional Area: Recruiting and Candidate Experience Management
• Task: Recruiting Content Library

2. On the Recruiting Content Library page, click Create.
3. On the Create Content Item page, enter the following information:

• Name
• Code
• Category: Select Hiring Team Notification
• Visibility

4. In the Context Information section, you can contextualized the notification based on requisition attributes and hiring team recipients.
5. Create the content item as any other content item.

Tips And Considerations

• It’s not recommended to disable the seeded Collaborator lookup because this lookup is used by any existing requisition and job offer hiring teams where collaborators have been defined.
• It’s recommended to include the lookup code in the collaborator type tokens so that users can easily select the correct token when managing notification templates and sending messages to the hiring team. For example, the lookup code defined was INTERVIEW_TEAM then the tokens available in the notification would be Requisition_INTERVIEW_TEAM_DisplayNameList and Offer_INTERVIEW_TEAM_DisplayNameList.

Maximum Possible Score Adjusted While Updating Question's Score

You can see the maximum possible score of all impacted questionnaires adjusted right away while you change the score of a question. 

Here's how it works:

You can change questions added to questionnaires not being used. Changes are reflected right away in questionnaires, with the exception of any overwritten score at the questionnaire level.

If you want to change questions in questionnaires being used, consider the following:

• You will need to create a new version of the question if you want to change:
  • Answer labels, including translation
  • Context
  • Question type
  • Question score
• The new version of the question will be propagated in questionnaires not being used, unless they have overwritten question’s score.

NOTE: The In Use status is now synchronized between internal and external questionnaires.  As soon as one of the questionnaire is being answered and marked as In Use, the other one is also flagged as In Use. As a result, both questionnaires are now kept in synch and use the same question version.

This feature helps you keep the maximum possible score of the questionnaires in sync with the score of the questions.

Steps to Enable

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

Job Offers

Adjust Offer Letter Content

Recruiting users with privileges to adjust offer letters can create consistent offer letters based on templates but they can now personalized them as needed. They can adjust the content of any candidate's job offer letter in specific situations, such as offers for an executive position or a hard-to-recruit job.

There are two methods to adjust offer letters:

• Original method: When you download a candidate’s selected offer letter while in the state Offer-Draft, you get a document that shows all of the tokens that will represent the various field values for that candidate, and you see all the conditional sections that may or may not end up being relevant to this candidate’s situation. You make your changes starting from the letter with all its tokens.

• New method: Your administrator needs to enable the new feature. When you download a candidate’s selected offer letter while in the state Offer-Draft, you’ll only see the actual values that belong in that letter and you’ll see only the actual sections that are relevant to that specific candidate. With this method, any tokens are already resolved into the current information. You can make any changes to the candidate’s offer letter from that starting point, and anything not relevant can be removed.

Watch a Demo

This feature offers the following benefits:

• Certain kinds of hiring require unique wording or agreements, beyond the standard offer letter templates.
• Recruiting users don’t get confused by seeing inapplicable sections of their selected template.

Steps to Enable

You need to grant this privilege so users can adjust offer letter content. Users must also have the BI Author Role, which is a standard part of other seeded roles for recruiters who are employees. Both of these are required for users to adjust offer letters, either the original method or this new method.

• Update Candidate Job Offer Letter

The feature is delivered disabled by default. To enable it, follow these steps.

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

• Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
• Functional Area: Recruiting and Candidate Experience Management
• Task: Recruiting and Candidate Experience Information

2. In the Offer Letter section, select the option Download Offer Letter with Resolved Tokens.

Regardless whether users will adjust offer letter using the old method or new method, you’ll have to upload any desired offer letter templates into the Recruiting Content Library.

Tips And Considerations

Here are a few things to consider when you enable the feature:

• You will need to ensure that each candidate’s offer letter reflects any last-minute changes that you make to the offer’s values. If you make any changes to draft offer’s fields before submitting the offer, these changes won’t be automatically made in the adjusted offer letter. The values in the offer fields that got pulled into the offer letter when it was downloaded, these are now part of the text of the letter. This text is no longer dynamic, it’s no longer based on tokens which can read the values in the offer fields. For instance, you adjust the offer letter by increasing the proposed salary of the candidate, that field is probably included in the offer letter seen by the candidate. So you would also have to re-adjust the offer letter yourself.
• Configure the light e-signature section to be the same for standard vs. adjusted offers. Non-adjusted offer letters use a light e-signature section within the selected offer letter template. Adjusted offer letters use light e-signature report, directly from in BI Publisher. If different regions or situations need different e-signature formatting, ensure requirements are met both in the Recruiting Content Library’s templates and in the light e-signature subtemplate in BIP.

Screening Services

Background Check Package Selection Within Recruiting

You can select background check packages directly in Recruiting without having to access the partner's portal.

If you create a job requisition based on a template which contains background checks, the background checks will be added to the requisition. You can edit the selected packages.

If you create a requisition using a blank form, you can add background checks in the Screening Services section. Click Add to add a background check partner. Select a partner and a user account. You can then select packages without having to go to a partner’s site.

• If one background check trigger was configured in the candidate selection process, you can select one or more packages for the phase or state that has the background check trigger.
• If multiple background check triggers were configured in the candidate selection process and the partner supports multi phases and states, you can select one or more packages for the different phases and states that have the background check trigger.
• If multiple background check triggers were configured in the candidate selection process and the partner doesn’t support multi phases and states, you can select one or more packages to one of the phase or state.

NOTE: You can add background check packages to requisitions in Draft state, or other states as long as there are no job applications.

Here are the supported triggers for package selection:

• Internal job application flow
• External job application flow
• First encountered candidate selection process trigger, which is the only way to trigger an event
• Entering phase
• Existing phase
• Phase and state

Adding Background Checks in a Job Requisition

In job applications, you can view background check partners and packages that were copied from the job requisition to the job application. There are some conditions where you can edit background check packages in job applications:

• You need the privilege Update Candidate Job Application Screening Package.
• The job application is not in Rejected state, Withdrawn state, or in HR phase.
• You can remove packages not yet triggered.
• You can add packages on triggers not yet reached.
• The partner supports package selection.
• The job requisition has a partner and user account already defined.

Background Checks in a Job Application

With this feature you will see the following benefits:

• No need to go to the partner portal anymore. 
• Faster job requisition background check configuration.
• Possibility to change packages for each candidate.

Steps to Enable

Partner Setup

To enable background check selection within Recruiting, partners need to set up their integration on their Oracle HCM instance.

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

• Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
• Functional Area: Recruiting and Candidate Experience Management
• Task: Recruiting Category Enablement

2. On the Partner Enablement page, go to the Background Check section and click the Edit icon next to a partner.
3. These 2 new options are available. Verify with the partner if they support those options before modifying them.

• Local Package Selection: Select this option to enable the selection of a partner directly in Recruiting. By default, this option is disabled, which means packages are selected on the partner’s portal using the Go to Partner Portal link (as in previous releases).
• Multiple Phases and States: Select this option if you want to allow users to send multiple background check requests at different phase or state. You can choose this option only if you selected the Local Package Selection option. By default, this option is disabled.

Requisition Template Configuration

When you add a background check to a job requisition template, follow these steps when the Local Package Selection option was enabled for the partner:

1. Open a job requisition template.
2. In the Screening Services tab, add a background check by selecting a partner and user account, and save your selection.
3. Click the Edit icon next to the partner you selected.
4. In the Edit Partner window, decide if you want to select packages for multiple phases or states:

• If you select the option Packages for Multiple Phases or States, this will allow recruiters to select packages for the different phase and state triggers.
• If you don’t select the option Packages for Multiple Phases or States, recruiters will only be able to select packages for the selected phase or state trigger.

5. Click Save.
6. Activate the background check.

Recruiting Agencies

Agency Posting Expiration Period

When you invite agents to submit candidates for a job, you can set an expiration date.

1. Open a job requisition.
2. Click the Posting tab.
3. In the Staffing Agents section, add an agent.
4. Click the Actions button and select Set Expiration Date.
5. Select an expiration date and time. If you select No Expiration, the invitation will expire when the requisition expires.
6. Click Save and Close.

Expiration Date for an Agent Invitation

When agents go to the Invited Requisitions area in the agency portal, they can see the expiration date and time on their invitations. When the expiration date is passed, agents can no longer see the requisition.

These alerts were updated to provide info on the invitation expiration date: 

• Recruiting Agent Invite Alert
• Recruiting Agent Invite Update Alert

Recruiters can manage the time an invitation is open by setting an expiration date on invitations sent to agents.

Third Party Integration

Full 1 Click Export Support for LinkedIn Recruiter

Recruiters are now able to use the 1-Click Export in LinkedIn Recruiter to export a candidate that isn't in Oracle Recruiting Cloud and create a prospect for a specific job requisition. Until now, only the export of a candidate existing in LinkedIn and Oracle Recruiting Cloud was supported.

Minor improvements were made on how the LinkedIn Notes and InMails are displayed in the Candidate Interactions for better readability.

Recruiters can find high quality matches from LinkedIn and save time. 

Steps to Enable

1 Click Export is ready to use as long as you have LinkedIn Recruiter System Connect enabled.

Tips And Considerations

If a candidate is in LinkedIn but not in Oracle Recruiting Cloud, and the Recruiting team saves this candidate in Oracle Recruiting Cloud, then a prospect is created for that specific job requisition. However, we may not be able to send typical prospect emails until the candidate from LinkedIn is able to share the email address. 

Key Resources

For details on LinkedIn Recruiter System Connect, refer to these topics in the Implementing Recruiting guide on Oracle Help Center:

Super User in Talent Pools Subject Area

Improve your reporting on the talent pools subject areas with the ability for users to leverage the super user role to report on all talent pools.

The Workforce Succession Management - Talent Pools real time subject area was previously secured by the ownership model in its VO to which customers did not have access. Now, this has been moved to data security allowing customers to configure a super user to report on all talent pools. A new duty role 'Manage Talent Pool' is introduced through which 'View All' access can be provided to view all talent pools.

There is no change to the subject area presentation layer.

This allows assigned users to view all talent pools across the company for better decision making.

IMPORTANT Actions and Considerations

IMPORTANT: INFORMATION ON SECURITY

• CHECK THE REGENERATE DATA SECURITY PROFILES AND GRANT JOB SET PROCESS

Role regeneration is necessary for all roles, custom or seeded, which is common, particularly after an update. This new Regenerate Data Security Profiles and Grants Job Set regenerates all roles, including those based on seeded job roles. This process will run automatically after the update, however it may not be complete when the environment is released, so all customers must verify successful completion of this process. Validation steps are detailed in Tips and Considerations section of the 20D HCM Common What’s New feature Regenerate Data Security Profiles and Grants Job Set.

• ACTION MAY BE NEEDED AFTER UDATE REGARDING CUSTOM ROLES

This applies to all customers who are receiving Update 20D, regardless of whether or not you will be implementing assignment-level security.

If you have custom versions of these Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) duty roles, you will need to add data security policies to your custom roles after receiving Update 20D:

• ORA_FBI_WORKFORCE_TRANSACTION_ANALYSIS_DUTY_HCM
• ORA_FBI_GOAL_MANAGEMENT_TRANSACTION_ANALYSIS_DUTY_HCM
• ORA_FBI_CAREER_DEV_TRANSACTION_ANALYSIS_DUTY_HCM

You may have created custom versions of these roles, if you have performed a deep copy of a job or abstract role that inherits one or more of these OTBI duty roles.

You must add data security policies to your custom roles, even if you are not implementing assignment-level security. For more information and steps to take, please refer to the 20D HCM Common What's New for the Secure Access for Workers with Multiple Assignments feature. If you are not interested in assignment-level security, you can just scroll down to the Role section and follow the step outlined for adding the data security policies.

REPLACED OR REMOVED FEATURES

From time to time, Oracle replaces existing Cloud service features with new features, or removes existing features. When a feature is replaced the older version may be removed immediately or at a future time. As a best practice, you should use the newer version of a replaced feature as soon as the newer version is available.

Product	Removed Feature	Target Removal	Replacement Feature	Replaced In	Additional Information
Profile Management	Classic Talent Profile Management Removed in 21A	21A	Mandatory Upgrade to Enhanced Talent Profile in 20A	19D	For more information, see the Upgrading Profile Management guide on My Oracle Support: (Document ID 2421964.1)

_________________________

ORACLE HAS 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, you must begin transitioning to the HCM Responsive User Experience, as these older pages will no longer be supported.

For information on the Responsive features, see the HCM Common What's New for Update 18B and 18C. The redesigned features are under a heading for Redesigned User Experience and have groupings by product. Features that have come out from 19A onwards will be in their respective solutions: HCM Common, Global Human Resources, Talent Management, Workforce Management and Workforce Rewards What's News. The feature will be under their product headings. You can open one these solutions such as Workforce Rewards and you will see tabs on the left to easily let you open the different releases to view the responsive features.

For consolidated information on generic setup information you can refer to My Oracle Support 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.

Controlled Availability Features

Features under this heading are under the Controlled Availability Program. The features are here to provide more information than what the table provides.

NOTE: These features are not generally available to customers and customers need to be approved to use these features.

New Reconciliation ESS Jobs

Be among the first to use the new Learning Cloud ESS jobs that expand and reconcile assignments and access groups. These jobs have been created to replace the Evaluate Person IDs for Assignment Rule job, the Reconcile Dynamic Assignments job, and the Reconcile Access Groups job. 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.)

New Background Processing Tab

This feature provides more enhanced processing of the ESS jobs, and can be controlled by learning administrators from the user interface. Administrators can control the number of concurrent processes, and the number of assignments per a concurrent process that would be processed.

Steps to Enable

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

To enable this feature, follow these steps.

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

2. Request to be part of the new reconciliation ESS jobs by opening 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 new reconciliation jobs from Oracle.

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.
