Oracle Learning Cloud is a skills driven learning platform that enables employees, teams and organizations to develop the most relevant set of skills. Oracle Learning combines informal and formal learning, from internal catalog and external learning sources into a single platform to provide learners with a single, unified learning experience.
eLearning Player Completion Processing Improvements
Take note that there is now additional support in the eLearning player that ensures that learner progress is sent to Oracle Learning Cloud, even when learners close the browser window directly.
Self-Service Browse Catalog Changes
Be aware that the enhanced Browse Catalog feature, first introduced in Update 20C, is now the only self-service browse mode. If you haven't already enabled the Browse Catalog feature, self-service browsing will be disabled, and no Browse button will display. The steps for enabling and using the Browse Catalog button were provided in the feature called Enhanced Browse Catalog Button in the What’s New document for Update 20C.
Branding and Trailer Video Enhancements for Courses and Specializations
Be aware that for compatibility with future releases, branding image and trailer video components have been replaced in the edit course and specialization pages with the same components used in community branding images. Trailer videos no longer need to be published as self-service videos. Instead they are uploaded directly while editing a course or specialization.
Translation Editor for the Syllabus Field
Use the translation editor for the Syllabus field when editing courses, offerings, and specializations. Previously, this editor was only available for the Title, and Short Description fields. This feature enhances the translation capabilities for learning administrators so they no longer need to change their session language to define the syllabus text in other languages.
No Access View Mode Option Removed from Access Groups
Take note that the No Access view mode option for access groups is no longer supported. This means that it's no longer possible to create access groups that deny access to learning items at the access group level. When you edit existing access groups configured with this view mode, you can't save changes until the View Mode is changed to Details, or Summary view.
Learning Request Approvals Support in Transaction Console
Use the Approvals Transaction Summary page in the Transaction Console to view the status and history of learning request approval transactions. Administrators can now use the Transaction Console instead of the BPM Worklist to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot learning request approval transactions.
Incident Management Notifications
Use the new set of notifications enabled for incident reporting transactions:
- FYI Notification to submitter on submission
- FYI Approval Notification to submitter when the content is Approved or Rejected
- FYI Notification to assignees when the content is Approved
- FYI Notification to content owner when the content is Rejected
These notifications further enhance the Incident management enhancement feature that was released in Update 21A.
Recommendation Initiatives Processing Changes
Use the new scheduled process to expand and reconcile learning recommendation initiatives independently from required or voluntary learning initiatives.
User Access Background Processing Changes
Use the new Process User Access job to expand and reconcile access groups. This job replaces the Process Access Groups scheduled process, and provides additional configuration options for processing access groups. Process User Access is a background process that simplifies the expansion and reconciliation of access groups. It performs the evaluation and reconciliation tasks via a single scheduled process, and provides additional configuration options providing more control on thread utilization on an environment.
Skipped Recommendations and Access Groups Records
Search for recommendations and access group records that were not successfully created. When the creation or reconciliation of recommendation initiatives and access groups occurs, Oracle Learning generates the relevant recommendations or access records for the defined learner selection criteria. If these records can't be created for some reason, that information is now captured by the system. Administrators can use the Search Skipped Assignments feature to identify which records were not successfully created, and understand why, so that corrective action can be taken. This enhancement only applies when the following features are enabled:
- Process Learning Recommendations scheduled process
- Process User Access scheduled process
Batch Mode Options for Learner Selection Criteria Evaluation
Reduce the time it takes to evaluate initiative and access group learner selection criteria like analysis reports by using new batch mode options.
Multi-Select Support in Import External Content
Choose to import a subset of an external provider’s content using multi-select.
LinkedIn Learning External Provider Changes
Take note that you no longer need to create the WLF_EXT_PROVIDER_LINKEDIN profile option for use with LinkedIn Learning. LinkedIn now appears on the External Providers page automatically.
Conversations in HCM Mobile Offline Learning
View conversations and like counts on the specialization details page, and in selected offering details pages in the HCM Mobile Offline Learning app. This information is available in view-only mode.
Oracle Recruiting Cloud provides tools for hiring managers and recruiters to source and nurture candidates, create and manage job requisitions, screen and select candidates, create and manage job offers, and onboard new employees into the organization. It also provides career sites for employees and external candidates to search, discover and apply to jobs using a frictionless application process.
Collect Additional Candidate Legislative Details
Collect additional candidate legislative details as per your organization business needs. You can configure your own legislative flexfields such as Person Legislative Attributes (PER_PERSON_LEGISLATIVE_DFF) and configure job application flows to capture additional legislative details from a candidate.
Collect Ethnicity and Race Info from External Candidates
Collect ethnicity and race information from external candidates who apply on job requisitions posted in the United States. The two-question format is used, supporting two distinct responses. The first part of this field asks about the candidate’s ethnicity category, and the second part asks about the races with which they identify.
Use Oracle Search, the new default search technology engine for Oracle Recruiting Cloud. Oracle Search replaces SemSearch.
Controlled Availability Features
Features under this heading are under the Controlled Availability Program. The Controlled Availability Program is a program for early testing and feedback of features, before they are included into the product line.

NOTE: These features are not generally available to customers, customers must be approved to use these features. When these features are generally available to all customers they will be announced under their product area headings.
Administrator Faceted Person Search
Be among the first to use the new faceted person search experience when selecting learners on the create assignment, initiative, or access groups pages. The enhanced Person Search and Select page offers a superior search experience because there are new search facets to filter the data.
This feature is only available through the Controlled Availability Program at this time, which requires approval in order to join. Once approved, you will be required to participate in testing, and to provide feedback. Some programs may require other participation as well.

Oracle Recruiting Cloud provides tools for hiring managers and recruiters to source and nurture candidates, create and manage job requisitions, screen and select candidates, create and manage job offers, and onboard new employees into the organization. It also provides career sites for employees and external candidates to search, discover and apply to jobs using a frictionless application process.
Show Acknowledgement Text After Candidates Accept Offers
Show any text to candidates immediately after they accept a job offer. This text is configured in the Content Library as Job Offer Post-Offer Text, and it's intended for candidates to see any necessary information above their online offer letter. This text is no longer shown if candidates return to view this job offer letter later.
Enhanced Job Application Progress Bar
Provide more engaging candidate experience with the new job application progress bar. Steps are now visible to candidates as a checklist for better overview of the process.
Limited Number of Miscellaneous Attachments
Allow external candidates to upload up to 10 attachments to each Miscellaneous Documents block in the flow.
Use LinkedIn Connections to maximize job seeker value by helping candidates assess life at a company and potentially ask for a referral by allowing them to send messages to their connections.
Candidates and Candidate Job Applications
Automatically Confirm Completed Job Applications
Confirm completed job applications automatically with the enhanced Send Notifications to Draft Applications scheduled process. This process is now not only sending draft job application notifications, it’s also used for confirming completed job applications that were interrupted during the application process. In scenarios where candidates might have inadvertently closed the browser after submitting a job application, the process will mark the applications as completed and notify the candidate if the system successfully received all the job application data. If the job application data was incomplete or not completely received, this process will not create a job application and will treat this interaction as an abandoned job application.
Candidate Duplicate Check in Move to HR
Configure whether or not candidates get checked for duplicates as they move into the HR phase of the recruiting lifecycle, depending on the enterprise’s definition of duplicates and depending on what personal information is gathered from candidates.
The new Recruiting setting Duplicate Check in Move to HR governs checking external candidates against all workers and ex-workers to see if there are any potential duplicate records.
- You can preserve current behavior and never check any candidates for duplicates while moving their job applications into the HR phase.
- You can enable all candidates to be checked, and any duplicates found will be based on some combination of name, birthdate, gender, or national identifier as configured in the Enterprise setting Person Creation Duplicate Check.
- You can decide to check only candidates who provided their birthdate and national identifier while applying for the job; they will also be checked based on the same combination of fields as configured in the Enterprise setting Person Creation Duplicate Check.

Take note that the candidate search is no longer granted by default to the Hiring Manager role.
Application Flow Information Available in Fast Formulas for All Request for Information Statuses
Use information about the application flow used for a request for information when creating a Fast Formula, regardless of the current status of the request for information.
Automatically Move Job Applications Based on Interview Status
Perform candidate selection process automated actions when an interview has been updated for a job application. For instance, you can use this feature to move the job application to a different state or phase when the interview has been scheduled.
Configure Interview Schedules Using Transaction Design Studio
Use Transaction Design Studio to configure which sections and fields are visible when creating interview schedules, and which fields are optional or mandatory.
Delayed Processing of Automated Actions at Beginning of Candidate Selection Processes
Process some automated actions put at the very beginning of a candidate selection process for candidates applying through an external career site. The application performs these actions after a small delay rather than immediately, to avoid having the candidates wait a long time for the job applications to be fully created. The move actions are performed immediately, but other actions are scheduled for later.
Manage Job Requisition Interview Schedule Before Job Formatting Phase
Create and manage interview schedules on job requisitions that are in the Draft or Approval phase.
Automatically Extend Job Offers
Extend job offers automatically to candidates once the offers have been approved.
Offer Salary Can Vary Based on Compensation Zone
Use compensation zone based differentials for salary while drafting candidates' job offers.
Perform Global Changes from Offers Using Flow "Local and Global Transfer"
Process a candidate's accepted job offer for a change of legal employer into their new work relationship using the flow Local and Global Transfer. This affects any candidate that HR specialists can see on the page Manage Job Offers in the status HR - Pending Manual Processing whose preselected action is Global Transfer or Global Temporary Assignment. Performing either of these actions brings the HR specialist to the page Local and Global Transfer with all the offer's relevant values pre-filled for this candidate's new assignment, rather than to the simpler page Change Legal Employer as in prior releases.
Autocomplete Rules for Recruiting Business Objects
Enhance the user experience by authoring new rules for recruiting business objects with more capabilities. These are some of the features added to the recruiting business objects.
Job Offers
- Expand the capability to create defaulting and validating rules on job offers with the new Job Offers business object.
- Improve user productivity and save time by building rules to validate the start date, default and validate assignment information such as business unit, position, job, grade, department, location, salary, and many more.
- Default offer letter templates based on rules driven by recruiting type, work structures, employment type, candidate type (internal or external), and many more.
Interview Location
- Expand the capability to create defaulting and validating rules on interview location with the new Interview Location business object.
- Improve user productivity and save time by defaulting interview format and its associated details based on rules. As an example, defaulting web conference details for an interview in web conference format or defaulting primary work location for an in person interview.
Interview Participants
- Expand the capability to create defaulting and validating rules on interview participants with the new Interview Participants business object.
- Improve user productivity and save time by defaulting interview participants based on rules. As an example, defaulting a hiring manager as an interview participant or confirming that the hiring manager is included as a participant by authoring a validation rule.
Manually Initiate and Cancel Screening Services
Initiate or cancel screening requests manually, without having to move candidates in the candidate selection process.
Transactional Business Intelligence for Talent Management
Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence is a real time, self-service reporting solution offered to all Oracle Cloud application users to create ad hoc reports and analyze them for daily decision-making.
