Feature Summary

Column Definitions:

Features Delivered Enabled

Report = New or modified, Oracle-delivered, ready to run reports.

UI or Process-Based: Small Scale = These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of minor field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is minimal.

UI or Process-Based: Larger Scale* = These UI or process-based features have more complex designs. Therefore, the potential impact to users is higher.

Features Delivered Disabled = Action is needed BEFORE these features can be used by END USERS. These features are delivered disabled and you choose if and when to enable them. For example, a) new or expanded BI subject areas need to first be incorporated into reports, b) Integration is required to utilize new web services, or c) features must be assigned to user roles before they can be accessed.

Ready for Use by End Users
(Features Delivered Enabled)

Reports plus Small Scale UI or Process-Based new features will have minimal user impact after an update. Therefore, customer acceptance testing should focus on the Larger Scale UI or Process-Based* new features.

Action is Needed BEFORE Use by End Users
(Features Delivered Disabled)

Not disruptive as action is required to make these features ready to use. As you selectively choose to leverage, you set your test and roll out timing.

Prevent Sending Messages During Specified Hours

Marketing

Oracle Adaptive Intelligent Apps for Marketing automatically predicts the best-performing combination of send-time and path for each customer. These predictions are based on interaction history, profiles, and content metadata to optimize marketing orchestration for a defined business metric.

Prevent Sending Messages During Specified Hours

You can now set restricted hours for the time periods when you don’t want to send marketing messages. Select your preferred time zone and then select the hours when you don’t want to send email, SMS, or push notifications.

This screenshot shows the Polices page where restricted hours are set from 20:00 to 07:00 for SMS and push messages for all days of the week.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

  • The restricted hours are based on the selected time zone. So let’s say you select 06:00 as the restricted hour with Los Angeles – Pacific Time as the time zone. You then change the time zone to London – Greenwich Mean Time. The restricted hour remains at 06:00 for the new time zone.
  • You can only select one time zone for your restricted hours. If you have customers across multiple time zones, you might want to extend your restricted times to cover the desired times in all time zones.
  • Selecting a single hour, for example 11:00, restricts all send times from 11:00:000 to 11:59:999.
