This section covers features used across all HCM Applications.

Enhancements to Approvals and Notifications

See the enhancements that have been made to Approvals and Notifications:

• You are now able to test approval rules without being required to recreate and submit any new transactions in the HCM Approval Rules page and Transaction Console.

• Users can now be shown a warning message if a duplicate attachment is found in the transaction at the time of submission. Users are not allowed to submit transactions that have duplicate attachments.

• The Transaction Console diagnostic log for failed transactions has been enhanced to list the approval rule conditions and to also highlight the specific rule condition that caused the transaction to fail.

• You can now create rules in the Transaction Design Studio to configure the Save and the Save and Close buttons, and to configure whether an Error or Warning message appears if mandatory sections have not been visited.

HCM Common

This section covers features used across all HCM Applications.

Lists of Values Configuration

Configure these settings centrally for list of values used in HCM:

• Which fields are searchable
• Which fields are displayed as search results and in what order

Workers List of Values Results Search Behavior Change

See improved search performance of the workers list of values component, that's used throughout HCM, with these changes:

1. No workers are displayed until some search terms are entered.
2. Searching by business title is disabled out-of-the-box. You can enable it, if required.

Transaction Design Studio for HCM Experience Design Studio Enhancements

Increase your data quality and enhance the user experience using Transaction Design Studio for HCM Experience Design Studio. These are the new features added to the tool.

• Increase your data quality by ensuring that your users complete the required fields before submitting the transaction. Out-of-the-box, your users are prompted with a warning message that they must complete the required information before Submitting the transaction. The user will not be able to submit transactions without first visiting the required regions, and once in the required region entering the required fields. For example, when hiring an employee, if a user submits the transaction before reaching the payroll region, a warning message lists the salary region and all the other mandatory regions to be visited before the transaction can be successfully submitted. The severity of the message can be changed, per action, from a Warning message to an error message. The feature is available for a selected list of actions in this release, but more transactions will subsequently be added to later releases.

• Enhance the user experience by allowing your users to save their transactions at any point of time. For example, when a user is in the middle of a hiring process and needs to switch to another task, they can save their work, resume later where the user left off.  The two action buttons, ‘Save’ and ‘Save and Close’, can be simply set via checkboxes within the Transaction Design Studio. Out-of-the-box, the two buttons are hidden. This feature is available for a selected list of actions in this release, but more transactions will subsequently be added to later releases.

New HCM Digital Assistant Skill Version - HCMV2

Check out the new version of HCM Digital Assistant skill. HCMV2 helps employees and managers handle their actions and tasks through richer conversational experiences across 90+ intents.

The HCMV2 skill attributes recently added platform features and enhancements including:

• More sophisticated natural language processing and natural language understanding models
• Standardized extensibility, lending itself much easier to functional analysts
• Native language support, paving the way for a multilingual implementation

Previously, all requests for each major feature area were fulfilled by one intent that used conversational chat to answer questions and retrieve information for that feature area.

With HCMV2, there are now separate intents for each business flow. For example, a user request to 'Find my coworker's phone number' is fulfilled by a different intent than 'Find my coworker's email.’ These discrete intents each support a specific business case, which makes the skill easier to manage and extend, especially for native language support.

Added to the improved intent classification accuracy, there is also new functionality like “Show me Ravi Chouhan's photo”.

All conversation flows in the new HCMV2 skill use resource bundle strings with named tokens, which makes the message strings easier to manage.

HCMV2 is delivered as part of the FADigitalAssistant.

Oracle Global Payroll Interface supports features to send personal payroll information to third-party payroll providers and then to import processed payroll data into Oracle Fusion Global HR. You can copy and modify predefined extract definitions to meet the requirements of your third-party payroll provider. Before extracting data, payroll coordinators can optionally run the Calculate Gross Earnings process to calculate periodic values to validate gross earnings calculations. If you import processed payroll data or payslips from your third-party payroll provider, the data is available for further reporting and analysis.
