Oracle Social Network

Web Client Replaced by Social Plugin

The Oracle Social Network web client has been replaced by the Social Plugin. This is the same user interface that is used in Oracle Applications Cloud. The Social Plugin also works well on mobile devices, so that users do not necessarily need to download the Oracle Social Network mobile app to use social features on their phones or tablets.
