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 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 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. |

Employee Withdraws an Endorsement Request
Endorsements help an employee get recognition for a demonstrated skill and help advance their career. An employee can submit a request for endorsement from within their Skills Center or Connections profile. This request can be withdrawn from the corresponding worklist notification. The endorser would then receive a notification stating the request has been withdrawn.
Enables an employee to withdraw the endorsement request in order to make an accurate and targeted effort to be recognized by endorsers who have seen them demonstrate their skill proficiency.

You can use Oracle AI to suggest appropriate skills to set as learning outcomes while configuring a course or specialization. Suggestions are based on the course or specialization title, description, and short description. The more you curate the suggestions, the better they'll become.
You can curate the skills suggestions in a Microsoft Excel workbook.

You can also review the suggestions for a specific course or specialization on its Learning Outcomes tab. Any suggestions where you set the skills curation status to Yes show on the course or specialization details page, definitions tab. They're also the only skills that transfer to learners’ talent profiles after they successfully complete the learning. The skills that you don't curate don't become learning outcomes.
NOTE: Curated skills won’t show in workbooks generated by future processing. But they will show on applicable Learning Outcomes tabs as well as course and specialization definitions. And every skill that you curate teaches Oracle AI services to produce better suggestions.
Learning Machine Learning Course, Learning Outcomes Tab Showing the Skill Center Section and Suggested Skills
Any skills with a curation status of No continue to appear on the Learning Outcomes tab, but not in the details definition. They also don’t transfer to talent profiles after successful completion of the course or specialization. If you delete a skill suggestion—from the Learning Outcomes tab or the spreadsheet, it’s removed everywhere and won’t appear again in future skill suggestions for that course or specialization.

This enhancement lets you make use of ever-improving AI to apply relevant learning outcomes to courses and specializations.
Steps to Enable
- Implement Oracle AI Apps for HCM and Dynamic Skills and set up products to use them. For details, see the Implementing Oracle AI Apps for HCM and Dynamic Skills technical brief available on My Oracle Support (document ID 2826501.1).
- Enable Redwood learner experience setup.
- Run the AI Suggested Skills for Learning Items background process as appropriate using the Tools > Scheduled Processes task. For example, run a full process initially to get skills suggestions for all of your existing courses and specializations. Then run incremental processes to get suggestions for new courses and specializations.
Tips And Considerations
You need to complete and save the general information for all courses and specializations that you want to get skills suggestions for. Then next time you run the process, the results will include suggestions for those courses and specializations.
