Time Change Requests Enhancements

Let time and labor managers access a dedicated page to review and approve the change requests for the people whose time cards they manage.

New HSDL Template for Loading Public Holiday Calendar Events

Bulk load public holidays annually, using a new optimized HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader (HSDL) template.

Web Clock Geolocation Introduction

Record geolocations for web clock events reported with mobile browsers or the Oracle HCM Cloud app for Android or iOS.

Web Clock Missing Out Enhancement

Let individuals know when they forgot to clock out the previous day. They get a warning after their initial clock in on the next work day, that they need to fix the incomplete time entry.

Web Clock Button Logic Enhancements

Take advantage of the Web Clock enhancement. Previously, when someone clicked a web clock button, any preceding buttons that were available, and the button just clicked became unavailable. Now with Web Clock Repeat, you can configure Web Clock to make all of the buttons available again after people click the last button in the sequence. This flexibility lets you potentially use fewer buttons to support your time reporting policies.

Web Clock Missing In Enhancement

Detect when individuals forgot to clock in and let them enter that time manually while clocking out. When they're done, we automatically generate the a change request and submit it for approval.

Time and Labor Controlled Availability

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. You must request and be accepted into the Controlled Availability Programs to use these features. Please see the What's New for more information on being part of these programs.

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.

Absences Measured in Days Included on Time Cards

View or record on time cards any absences measured in days as well as view the corresponding time total.

Time and Labor and Absence Management Integration Enhancements

View open-ended absences and edit open-ended absences after they're end dated on time cards. Also manage absences for nonwork days on time cards.

When the absence start or end date changes for an absence that spans time cards, only the time card with the absence date change gets reprocessed.
