Feature Summary

Column Definitions:

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
(Feature 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.

Customer Must Take Action before Use by End Users
(Feature 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.

Integrate Oracle Engagement Cloud with Oracle DataFox

You can enrich your Oracle Engagement Cloud accounts by integrating with Oracle DataFox. This one-time integration ensures that complete and up-to-date information on your accounts is available directly in your Oracle Engagement Cloud instance. You make better sales decisions using the latest information. For example, you can use the latest funding and estimated revenue figures to close an opportunity.

Match Your Accounts with Companies in Oracle DataFox

You can match and sync companies with your Oracle Engagement Cloud accounts directly from the company page in Oracle DataFox. Create a new account or sync to an existing account using the registry ID. You can also sync a company to multiple accounts using the Connect Another Account field.

Update Company Data Using Bulk Sync

Set a bulk sync frequency to update the company data for your accounts periodically. You can also set the number of accounts for each sync depending on your requirements. For example, you have 60,000 Oracle Engagement Cloud accounts and you set the bulk sync frequency to sync 10,000 accounts each day. This means your accounts are synced at least once a week.
