Feature Summary

Learning Cloud

Oracle Learning Cloud enables you to make a transformational shift in learning delivery. Subject matter experts in your organization can easily publish videos and assemble tutorials to deliver on-demand and social learning. Collaboration features encourage continuous community feedback.

Change to What Displays on Transcripts for Completed Offerings

Transcripts only display the offerings that were completed before a specialization was completed. If learners retake an offerings for completed specializations, they will no longer see the additional attempts on their transcripts.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Community Relation HDL Object

You can use HCM Data Loader (HDL) to associate multiple learning items to a community.

Community Relation HDL

You can use the community number to associate a community to multiple learning item numbers in the catalog. After the Community Relations HDL load, in Learning Cloud you will see the list of learning items (specializations, courses, communities) associated to the community.

Steps to Enable

Before you can use this feature, you need to have access to the HCM Data Loader, and a prepared CommunityRelation.dat file.

NonCatalog Learning HDL Object and Update to LearningRecord

You have the ability to add noncatalog learning items, noncatalog learning item translations, and external learning records using HCM Data Loader (HDL). Noncatalog learning items represent learning consumed outside of Oracle Learning Cloud, and which you want to record in learners’ training history. For example, a learner takes at course at a local community college, and you want to record it in his training history.  In addition, you now have the ability to add Continuing Professional Education (CPE) attributes to the learning record business object to support noncatalog learning. CPEs are used to collect knowledge and skills related to a Learner’s professional life and development.

NonCatalog Learning HDL Object

The following are changes to the Learning Record object:

• Added CPE points and CPE Type attributes
• Support for LearningItemType ORA_NON_CATALOG
• Support for Learning Record Status create and update

	Create	Update
Assigned By Type	Supported: ORA_EVT_SUBT_MANAGER ORA_EVT_SUBT_SELF ORA_EVT_SUBT_ADMIN	No validations
Status	Supported: Request Approved Completed	Supported: Request Approved - Deleted Completed - Deleted
Assignment Type	Supported: Voluntary Required	Supported: Voluntary Required

Data Logic

• LearningRecordStartDate should be before or equal to LearningRecordRequestApprovedDate
• When status = Completed
• Value provided for LearningRecordStartDate  to WLF_ASSIGNMENT_RECORDS_F ? Requested_date     
• Start on of After ?  RequestDetailStartDate
• Complete By(Due Date) ? RequestDetailCompletionDate
• Request Comments ? RequestDetailComments

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Profile Option to Control Completion Rollup for Failed SCORM, AICC/HACP, and Assessments

There is a new profile option called WLF_ROLLUP_FAILED_SCORM that you can use to determine how rollup completions occur for failed SCORM, AICC/HACP or assessment backed activities. If the profile option is set to Y, the completion rollup occurs, and learners are not able to resume the content. If a learner wants to try again, manual intervention by an administrator is required. If the profile option is set to N, the completion rollup does not occur, and learners are able to resume and complete the content. This allows the learner to continuously resume the content until a passing score is achieved.

Steps to Enable

To enable this feature, you must enable the following profile option: WLF_ROLLUP_FAILED_SCORM.

Field	Value
Profile Option Code	WLF_ROLLUP_FAILED_SCORM

To enable the profile option, navigate to the work area: Setup and Maintenance:

1. Search for and click the Manage Profile Options task.
2. Create a new profile option called WLF_ROLLUP_FAILED_SCORM, under Learning Management and the Learning Module.
3. Set the Site and User levels to Enabled and Updatable.
4. Search for and click the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.
5. Search for and select the profile option.
6. Click to add a new Profile Value.
7. Select the Level as Site.
8. Enter a Y in the Profile Value field.
9. Click Save and Close.

Tips And Considerations

The default setting is “N” (allow learners to continuously resume the content until a passing score is achieved.)

Feature Summary

Learning and Development

Learning Cloud

Oracle Learning Cloud enables you to make a transformational shift in learning delivery. Subject matter experts in your organization can easily publish videos and assemble tutorials to deliver on-demand and social learning. Collaboration features encourage continuous community feedback.

Local Video Transcoding

Oracle Learning Cloud has updated how video transcoding works for the Oracle Learning Cloud Rich media platform. Video transcoding is now performed by Oracle Learning Cloud, and the functionality is available to everyone with the 19C update. Prior to 19C, a third party vendor handled video transcoding. There is also a new scheduled job included with this enhancement.

Video transcoding is the ability to adapt digital files so that content can be viewed on different playback devices and varying bandwidths. Working like an interpreter, a transcoder translates files to a suitable format for end users. Oracle Learning Cloud transcodes video in up to four different renditions, with target average bitrates of 8100 (1080p), 4600 (720p), 2600 (480p), and 1100 kbps (360p). Learners are automatically served the best quality they are able to view based on their current conditions. For example, if there is network congestion or learners are on a lower-bandwidth network, they automatically receive a lower-bitrate rendition until network conditions improve.

Unlike the previous version of this feature, transcoding is not performed on-demand. Instead, you schedule the Video Transcoding and Processing Job to transcode the video, and to move the video from Pending to Active status.

Scheduled Processes Setup

When you set up this job, you can define the number of videos to process at the same time in the Processing Batch Size field. For example, if you enter 2 in this field, the job processes two videos at the same time. If you have four videos to process, and you’ve entered 2 in this field, Learning Cloud processes two of the four videos. When the first job completes, Learning Cloud processes the next two videos.

NOTE: If you do not enter any number in this field, only one job runs at time. The maximum number you can enter in this field is 5. If you enter a number greater than 5, it is treated as if the number 5 had been entered.

Video Transcoding and Processing Job Running Example

• Paused – This status usually indicates that this is the parent job. Let’s say you send 2 videos for transcoding. These 2 videos represent the entire parent job. If you indicated that only 2 jobs can run at a time in the Processing Batch Size field, the parent job has an initial status of Paused while its first two child jobs have a status of Running. 
• Running – This status indicates that these videos are processing.
• Succeeded – This status indicates that these videos have completed processing successfully. Users can view the transaction job logs when an item is successful.
• Failed – This status indicates that the video has failed transcoding. Users can view the transaction job logs when an item is successful.

Steps to Enable

To access these processes:

1. Go to the Scheduled Processes work area available under Tools in the Navigator menu.
2. Select the job called Video Transcoding and Processing Job.
3. Indicate the processing batch size.

Tips And Considerations

• Oracle recommends that you schedule this job to run at least daily if you are uploading videos frequently. However, take into consideration what other jobs are scheduled to run, and at what times. Video transcoding takes up thread resources that you may need to process other jobs, such as Payroll. You may want to schedule this job to run when those high priority jobs are not running.
• In the past, video transcoding was done automatically so self-service video approvals were received once transcoding was performed. Now that this functionality has been moved to a scheduled job, the approvals are sent based on when the Video Transcoding and Processing job has finished the transcoding. This is a change from 19B, and it may affect when an approver receives the approval notification since it is dependent on the when the job completes the process.

Completion Reason Code and Comments for Course and Specialization Completions

In HSM Data Loader (HDL), you can now include a Completion Reason Code and Comment to the LearningRecord HDL object when loading completed, withdrawn or deleted learning records. These fields were previously available within the Learning Cloud interface, but were missing from HDL.

Refer to the table below for complete information on how to complete the .DAT file fields for upload.

Status	Attribution Type	Reason Code	Comments	Lov	Status Change Type
Complete	Person	Null	Null	ORA_WLF_COMPLT_RSN_SPEC	N/A
	Specialist	Required	Required		ORA_COMPLT_SPEC
Withdraw	Person	Required	Required	ORA_WLF_WITHD_RSN_ SS	ORA_WITHDRAW_SS
	Specialist			ORA_WLF_WITHD_RSN_ SPEC	ORA_WITHDRAW_SPEC
Delete		Required	Required	ORA_WLF_REC_DELETE_ RSN_SPEC	ORA_DELETE_SPEC
Active		Null	Null		N/A

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

The ability to report on these two fields is planned for a future release.

Key Resources

Refer to the chapter called Introduction to "HCM Data Loader" in the guide called “Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud Integrating with HCM” on docs.oracle.com for complete details on using the HCM Data Loader.

New Resource Alert for My Learning Assignments

There is a new, resource alert available for learning assignments. This alert contains example assignment filter expressions, message text with tokens, and communication method expressions that you can change to suit your organization’s needs.

Resource Alert Template

Out of the box, this message is set to do the following:

• Filter out all assignments created since the last time the alert appeared.
• Use the learner who has received the assignment as the recipient.
• Use tokens to pull in values that are specific to the learning assignment.
• Use conditional messages so that certain text is displayed depending on whether the assignment is required or voluntary.
• Use examples for conditional messages on assignment type and sub status.
• Use a looping mechanism that enables looping through an offering in an activity on a specialization.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Key Resources

For additional infromation:

• See the section called “Alerts” in the “Using Learning” Guide on docs.oracle.com for instructions on enabling alerts in Learning Cloud.
• For additional details see the white paper on My Oracle Support called “Configuring Resource Alerts Based on REST in Oracle Learning Cloud” (Document ID 2543297.1).

Ability to Set Course Completion Dates in the Past

You can now set course completion dates to any date in the past. If a learning administrator sets the completion date to a date prior to creation of a course, learners see the most recent version of the course on their transcripts, along with a messages stating that they are viewing the latest version.

Message Displayed When a Learner Views Content Marked as Completed Before the Content Was Created

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Enhance the Ability to Select Learners

The ability to select learners for assignments has been enhanced, and is now faster and easier than in previous versions of Oracle Learning Cloud.

Select Learners

On the Select Learners page, you can see the current selections as you add them from the search results. You can use the Add drop-down list to select learners using various criteria (what you see is dependent on what you are enrolling learners in), or type a learner’s name in the Add a Person box.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Bulk Mark Learners as Complete for Offerings

You can now mark multiple or all learners as completed for offerings. You can also select which activities in the offering should be marked as completed. Activities that are already marked as completed are not affected. This means that you can mark learners that already have some activities completed, without overwriting existing completion data.

New Mark Activities Complete Option on the Mass Action Drop-Down List

There is a new pop-up window that enables you to set the completion data for each type of activity being marked as completed.

Action Details

You can select the activity types, and set the completion information for each.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Update to Global and Local Access Groups User Interface

The user interface for creating and editing global or local access groups has been updated. The functionality has not changed, but the fields are presented in a more organized way using tabs.

New Tabbed Interface

There are three new tabs:

• General information
• Access Details
• Advanced Rules

The learner selection window has been updated. See the feature called “Enhance the Ability to Select Learners” for details.

You can now overwrite payment type and pricing separately.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Key Resources

Refer to the “Access Control” chapter of the “Using Learning” guide on docs.oracle.com for complete details on Access Control.

Use Learning Item Number Prompt When Making Assignments by Analysis Object

You can now initiate a prompt to request admins to enter the specific learning item they want to use when making an assignment using an analysis object. This is useful if you use analysis report criteria containing learning item numbers to assign learning.

This enhancements means you no longer need to create multiple analysis reports using different learning item numbers as criteria for the same set of people. For example, you create an analysis report that has all of the completed learning assignments across all learning item numbers. You can then reuse that analysis to assign Health and Safety 102 to the users who have completed Health and Safety 101. You are prompted to enter the learning item number for Health and Safety 101, and it will filter down the analysis to just those learners who have completed Health and Safety 101.

Learning Item Number as Analysis Filter

Select Is Prompted from the Learning Item Number Column drop-down list when setting up the analysis report. This enables you to use this analysis object to create an assignment for a specific learning item.

Learning Item Number Prompt

The selection method displayed for the selected users is "Analysis with Prompt."

Steps to Enable

To enable this feature, you must enable the following profile option: WLF_RBA_USE_SQL.

NOTE: The profile option WLF_RBA_USE_SQL is not available out-of-the-box. You must create it.

Field	Value
Profile Option Code	WLF_RBA_USE_SQL

To enable the profile option, navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area:

1. Search for and click the Manage Profile Options task.
2. Create a new profile option called WLF_RBA_USE_SQL, under Learning Management and the Learning Module.
3. Set the Site and User levels to Enabled and Updatable.
4. Search for and click the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.
5. Search for and select the profile option.
6. Click to add a new Profile Value.
7. Select the Level as Site.
8. Enter a Y in the Profile Value field.
9. Click Save and Close.

Key Resources

Refer to the chapter called “Profile Options for Learning Features” in the Implementing Learning guide on docs.oracle.com for information about learning profile options.

Enhanced Access Control for Courses and Specializations

You can now grant access to courses and specializations to members of learning communities who engage with these learning items from within the learning community. This guarantees access to these items for community members, no matter what the Access Control settings are. Similarly, you can grant access to courses when learners open them through their assigned specializations.

There are two new check boxes on the Default Access page for courses.

New Check Boxes on the Default Access Page for Courses

• When a Course Is Accessed from the Learning Community, Let the Learning Community Control Access and Visibility - select this check box to indicate that when this course is accessed from a learning community, the access and visibility will be controlled by the access control settings for the community, no matter what the default access control settings are for the course.
• When a Course Is Accessed from Specialization, Let Specialization Control Access and Visibility – select this check box to indicate that when this course is accessed from a specialization, the access and visibility will be controlled by the access control settings for the specialization, no matter what the default access control settings are for the course.

There is a new check box on the Default Access page for specializations.

New Check Box on the Default Access Page for Specializations

When a Specialization Is Accessed from a Learning Community, Let the Learning Community Control Access and Visibility – select this check box to indicate that when this specialization is accessed from a learning community, the access and visibility will be controlled by the access control settings for the community, no matter what the default access control settings are for the specialization.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

• Learners with access to courses or specializations because they are members of learning communities will not be able to find those courses and specializations when searching in Self-Service, unless they filter the search based on learning community.
• Learners who have access to courses because they are assigned to a specialization will not be able to find that course when searching in Self-Service.

Key Resources

Refer to the “Access Control” chapter of the “Using Learning” guide on docs.oracle.com for complete details on Access Control

Undo Completed Offering Assignments

You can now undo completed offering assignments to correct erroneous completions. When you do so, you can select one of the following two statuses:

• Active - Not Started - If all the activity completions are undone.
• Active - In Progress - If a portion of the activity completions are undone.

When you undo the completion for an offering, the appropriate status is also applied to course and specialization assignments. For example, when a completed offering assignment is undone and the status is changed to In Progress, the course assignment status is also changed to In Progress.

There are two exceptions to this:

• If outcomes have been achieved from a completed course, and a course is changed to a non-completed status, the learning outcomes that are associated to this course aren’t removed from learner profiles.
• If a prerequisite was achieved from a completed course and another assignment was started due to the achievement of this prerequisite, the assignment that has been started will not be affected when the course is changed to a non-completed status.

NOTE: If the undone record has advanced rules configured, the due date isn’t recalculated. Expiration dates (if set), completion dates, and validity date are nulled. If there is an active offering assignment for the same offering and learner, you are prevented from undoing the completion for the record. A warning message similar to the following displays: "This learning record can't be reactivated because it will conflict with record {LEARNINGRECORDNUMBER1}."

You can reset the undo the completion action for an offering assignment that is In Progress. If you reset all of the assignment's activities, the assignment status remains as In Progress for the offering and the course, and the progress changes to 0 / N activities completed.

Past and Future Course Assignments Dates Allowed with HDL

You can now load learning records past and future completion dates and assigned on dates for course assignments using HCM Data Loader (HDL). The following rules now apply to learning record start dates and learning record completion dates when loading the LearningRecord HDL object:

• Learning record completion dates can be any past date, up to current date.
• Learning record completion dates can’t be future dates.
• Learning record completions can only be done if the learning record start date is not in the future.
• Learning record start dates can be future dates if the assignment is not complete

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Key Resources

Refer to the chapter called Introduction to "HCM Data Loader" in the guide called “Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud Integrating with HCM” on docs.oracle.com for complete details on using the HCM Data Loader.

Prevention of Duplicate Active Offering Assignments with HDL

In HCM Data Loader (HDL) there is new validation that prevents additional active offering assignments from being created for learners when an active offering assignment already exists for a course.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Key Resources

Refer to the chapter called "Introduction to HCM Data Loader" in the guide called “Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud Integrating with HCM” on docs.oracle.com for complete details on using the HCM Data Loader.

Ability to Load Midstream Assignments with HDL

Your legacy Learning Management System (LMS) may have historical data containing future-dated renewals, future-dated assignments, or renewal assignments that were in progress or not yet started. Previously, it wasn’t possible to recreate these scenarios in Oracle Learning Cloud based on how Learning Cloud initiative rules work. With this release, rules have been relaxed in HCM Data Loader (HDL) to enable you to load renewals for initiatives for learning records that are in-flight (active, assigned in the future), and begin the initiative renewal rules once completed.

The following changes have been made to the Learning Record HDL:

• When renewals enabled in the user interface, and HDL is then loaded:
  • Assignment records can be created when LearningRecordStartDate equals/after Initiative/AssignmentProfile StartDate.
  • Assignment records with a status of Active can be created with LearningRecordStartDate before Initiative/AssignmentProfile StartDate.
  • Learning assignments with a status of Active can be uploaded when RENEWAL OPTION is enabled at Advanced Rules.
• When renewals are not enabled in the user interface, and HDL is loaded:
  • Assignment records with a status of Complete can’t be created with LearningRecordStartDate after Initiative/AssignmentProfile StartDate.
  • Assignment Record with a status of Active can be created with LearningRecordStartDate before Initiative/AssignmentProfile StartDate.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

The following sections provide solutions for two scenarios.

Not Started Future Assignment

Your legacy LMS may have historical data, but may also have a future-dated renewals, or a future dated assignment that needs to be created, but can’t based on Oracle Learning Cloud initiative rules. In this scenario, a learner has a completed assignment, and a renewal assignment set to start at some future date.

1. Create an initiative with a dummy destination object, and a start date in the future.
2. Make sure Learner Reconciliation is not checked.
3. Save the initiative number and place this initiative number in the Assignment Number column of the .dat file. This associates the learning records with the initiative.
4. HDL Load:

• Record 1: Completed - History (when the learner completed it in the past).
• Record 2: Renewal Assignment from legacy system (future dated based on renewal assignment in legacy system -Not Started).

5. The Evaluate job runs. This job doesn’t analyze this learner, even though they are not on the dummy destination object, because Learner Reconciliation isn’t checked.
6. Add a valid destination object to the initiative, and the learner isn’t on the destination object (evaluate/reconciliation run, no change).

NOTE: When editing the initiative and adding a new destination object, the Evaluate job runs automatically, and any learners that are not on the destination object are withdrawn. It is very important to ensure that learners that have midstream assignments created are on the destination object, or their midstream assignments will be withdrawn.

7. When a learner completes the assignment, the initiative renewal rules are evaluated, and an assignment is created based on the initiative renewal rules.

In Progress/Not Started Assignment

Your legacy LMS may have historical data, but may also have renewal assignments that are current and in progress, or have not been started. In this scenario, a learner has a completed assignment, but also a renewal assignment assigned to start in the past, and is currently in progress or not started.

1. Create an initiative with a dummy destination object, and a start date in the future.
2. Make sure Learner Reconciliation is not checked.
3. Save the initiative number and place this initiative number in the Assignment Number column of the .dat file. This associates the learning records with the initiative
4. HDL Load

• Record 1: Completed - History (when the learner completed it in the past).
• Record 2: Renewal Assignment from legacy system (Current assignment based on renewal assignment in legacy system - In Progress or Not Started).

5. The Evaluate job runs. This job doesn’t analyze this learner even though they aren’t on the dummy destination object, because Learner Reconciliation isn’t checked.
6. Add a valid destination object to the initiative, so this learner is on the destination object (evaluate/reconciliation run, no change).

NOTE: Editing the initiative and adding a new destination object causes the Evaluate job to run automatically. Any learners that are not on the destination object are withdrawn. It is very important to ensure that the learners that have midstream assignments created are on the destination object or their midstream assignments will be withdrawn.

7. When the learner completes the assignment, the initiative renewal rules will be evaluated and an assignment created based on the initiative renewal rules.

Learning

Dimensions for Prerequisites

It is now easier for you to report on the prerequisites of a catalog learning item by adding Prerequisites as a new dimension to the Learning Management Real Time subject area. Oracle Learning Cloud allows you to configure courses and specializations with prerequisites using profile items coming from the HCM Cloud Profiles work area. Using prerequisites prevents learners from engaging with a learning item until the requirements of other learning items are met.

Learning Management Real Time subject area has been enhanced to include a new folder named Prerequisites with sub folders under it to report on various content types and content items that are associated with the learning item prerequisites. Prerequisites are based on the model profile.

Prerequisites Subject Area

You can use it to quickly see what Prerequisites are set for learning items.

Set Prerequisites

For example, the course called Programming Basics has a prerequisite competency of Java, and the minimum proficiency is Foundation. Learners missing this prerequisite are blocked from engaging with this course offering until the prerequisite is met.

Similarly, the specialization called Advanced Conflict Management has a prerequisite defined for Competency Conflict Management and proficiency required is Solid. The prerequisite is not mandatory so learners are able to enroll in this specialization even if the prerequisite it not met.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Key Resources

• For additional information about subject areas, refer to "Subject Areas for Transactional Business Intelligence in HCM" on docs.oracle.com.
• For complete details on learning prerequisites, see the chapter called "Prerequisites" in the guide called "Implementing Learning" on docs.oracle.com

Feature Summary

Talent Management

Features under this section are available to all talent applications.

New Visibility Option in Anytime Feedback and Contextual Notes

Provide a private feedback to a colleague or subordinate using the new visibility option, Only Worker and Me. Only you and the recipient of the feedback will be able to view it. The new visibility option is now available for Anytime Feedback and Contextual Notes.

When you select this option for the ORA_NO_CONTEXT feedback context, you can find this option as Only <WORKER> and me in the Feedback page. You may want to select this option and create a feedback note so that only worker and you can view it.

One More Visibility Option for the Anytime Feedback Note

RESTRICTION: This new option, Only worker and me, is not applicable to all contexts. You can enable this option in ORA_NO_CONTEXT, but you can disable the option for another context such as Talent Review meetings, ORA_TALENT_REVIEW_TYPE. You can always enable it using the Manage Feedback Visibility task in FSM.

Steps to Enable

You can configure the new option using the Manage Feedback Visibility task in Setup and Maintenance. This option is available out of the box only for the Anytime Feedback ORA_NO_CONTEXT context.

Navigate to Setup and Maintenance > Workforce Deployment > Workforce Profiles > Manage Feedback Visibility task

Disabling Feedback Notifications Based on Context

In Manage Talent Notifications, Profile Management, your organization can enable Notifications for the worker and manager, when the worker receives feedback. If you want to avoid sending these feedback notifications to the worker and manager based on the context of the feedback, you now can modify the rule sets for the Notes task in Worklist. For example, you can disable notifications when providing feedback in the context of a talent review meeting. In the Worklist application, you can modify the rule for the context ORA_TALENT_REVIEW_TYPE in the rule set for the Notes task.

Rule Editor for Notes

To change the rule for Notes task:

1. In the Worklist, select the Administration menu.
2. Search for Notes notifications task.
3. From the Task Configuration tab, navigate to the Assignees tab and then to the rule set.
4. Select the rule to modify and specify the rule.

You can validate the modified rule by using the Validate button.

Steps to Enable

Ensure that the feedback notifications to the worker and manager are enabled in Manage Talent Notifications > Profile Management.

Manage Talent Notifications > Profile Management

Tips And Considerations

• Notifications are disabled by default for the Talent Review context, ORA_TALENT_REVIEW_TYPE.

Key Resources

Profile Management

Oracle Fusion Profile Management provides a common foundation for the Oracle Fusion talent suite of products and other Oracle Fusion applications to retrieve, insert, and update talent profile information. Profile Management also supports the HR specialists, line managers, matrix managers, and employees in performing critical HR talent functions. Managing people and job profiles, career planning functions, managing, and tracking talent data can be also done through Profile Management.

Profile Management Redesigned User Experience

Increase user satisfaction with the redesigned pages that now have the same look and feel on desktop and mobile devices. These redesigned pages are both responsive and easy to use on any device, with a modern look and conversational language. Clutter-free pages, with clean lines and just the essential fields, can be personalized to suit.

Redesigned User Experience and Administration

Enhancements made in Talent Profile Management include changes to the user experience and to talent profile administration.

Profile Management’s presentation of the person profile and talent ratings has been enhanced to provide a more engaging and responsive interface design. The new user experience enables features to be presented on both mobile and web pages. The interfaces are simple, intuitive and are written in a more conversational language.

The enhanced Skills and Qualifications UI displays more details about a person’s skills and qualifications. Content section security secures user access to the various sections and associated data.

Enhanced Talent Profile Skills and Qualifications

The new Talent Ratings UI displays the delivered talent ratings, for example, Performance Rating, Potential Rating, and Risk of Loss. Content section security secures user access to the various delivered talent ratings. The aggregate security privilege, View Talent Ratings, is required to gain access to the new Talent Ratings UI.

Enhanced Talent Profiles Talent Ratings

The Profile Management administration enhancements provide increased product performance and extensibility. The enhanced solution introduces content templates that represent the talent content (for example, Competencies, Certificates, Skills, and Awards) required to support the Oracle Talent Management Suite. Each content template includes unique attributes. These content templates can be used and reused to create the content sections necessary to capture talent data. The templates can be used to design both person and model talent profiles.

Other new features for this release include:

Migration and Mapping Tool: Administrators can migrate the classic Profile Management setup and profile user data using the new Enhanced Talent Profile Mapping Tool. The mapping tool is an integral part of the upgrade as it is specifically designed to support the administrator through the mapping and data migration steps.

Profile Upgrade Mapping Tool

The Manage Profile Upgrade Mapping: Define Person Profile Mapping page of the mapping tool lists the content sections currently configured as part of the Person Profile Type. The list in the Define Person Profile Mapping page will include predefined content sections and potentially customer-defined content sections. The Talent ratings content sections will not be displayed or will need to be mapped in the Define Person Profile Mapping page; Talent Ratings will be migrated automatically by the migration process. The Manage Profile Upgrade Mapping: Define Person Profile Mapping page also presents details about the individual sections that have been configured.

Descriptive Flexfields: Extend profile content sections with the newly supported user-defined descriptive flexfields (DFFs). Add and configure these DFFs within the content section properties for each content section.

Competency History and Fit Analysis: View in your profile or in the employees' profile the history of competency ratings and the competency fit analysis of employee proficiencies ratings versus job role target proficiencies. 

Competency Fit

Best Fit Optimization: Administrators are able to run the Manage Best Fit Batch Process ESS job through the Scheduled Process UI to improve best fit performance for Career Development Mobile Responsive Recommended Roles. Administrators are able to:

• Schedule when to run the process based on run options, for example: As Soon as Possible, or Using a Schedule.
• Run full jobs or incremental jobs.
• Set up notifications and/or manage a recipient and the condition for notification (on success, on warning, or on error).
• Set up process options such as language, territory, time zone, number/time/date formats and currency.

Target Outcomes: Profile Management maintains the requirements for configuring target outcomes that are necessary to measure the success of a task or project defined as part a goal or learning activity. Goal Management, Career Development, and Oracle Learning Cloud are all consumers of the Profile Management library of skills and credentials for providing applicable outcomes.

New Model Profile Type: We added a Prerequisite Profile Type. This additional model profile type supports profile type requirements. The Prerequisite Profile Type allows an administrator to configure the required prerequisites that can be used to define prerequisites for a learning activity when using Oracle Cloud Learning.

Steps to Enable

Upgrading your operations to the new Enhanced Talent Profile is currently optional. If you don’t upgrade, you can continue using the classic Profile Management.

The Enhanced Talent Profile Management requires you to migrate your profile data. For information about how to upgrade to the enhanced Talent Profile Management, see Upgrading Oracle Fusion Profile Management (Doc ID 2421964.1)

Tips And Considerations

• The enhanced interfaces are available in the Career and Performance functional grouping from the Home page navigation.
• A person’s skills and qualifications will continue to be available in the Skills and Qualifications User Interface (UI) and a person’s talent ratings will now be available in the Talent Ratings UI.
• The content sections defined on the Person Profile Type are the content sections that can be selected when configuring the model profile types. This association ensures that person-model reporting and gap analysis is achievable.
• Talent Profile administrators will have access to the following Profile Management administration tasks:
  • Manage Profile Types
  • Manage Item Catalog
  • Manage Rating Models
  • Manage Model Profiles
• Career of Interests is now included in Career Development.
• Career and Work Preferences are now included in Career Development.
• The Competency Fit Chart (Spider Graph) is provided in a text based format under each competency and compares the proficiency rating against the target proficiency rating.
• To use target outcomes in redesigned Goal Management, you must have upgraded to the enhanced Talent Profile Management.

Role Information

The functional privilege that grants access to the Manage Profile Upgrade Mapping task, which becomes available once the profile option is enabled, is the Manage Talent Profile Upgrade Mapping (HRT_MANAGE_PROFILE_UPGRADE_MAPPING). This functional privilege is granted to the Workforce Profile Administration Duty (ORA_HRT_WORKFORCE_PROFILE_ADMINISTRATION_DUTY). This duty role is granted to the Human Capital Management Application Administrator job role (ORA_HRC_HUMAN_CAPITAL_MANAGEMENT_APPLICATION_ADMINISTRATOR_JOB).

• Human Capital Management Application Administrator
  • Workforce Profile Administration Duty
    • Manage Talent Profile Upgrade Mapping

You can use the Human Capital Management Application Administrator job role to access the Mapping task or map the Workforce Profile Administration Duty to any role to have Profile Management Administration privileges.

To check, log in as a Security Manager, go to the Security Console, select Roles, and search for the Human Capital Management Application Administrator Job Role (ORA_HRC_HUMAN_CAPITAL_MANAGEMENT_APPLICATION_ADMINISTRATOR_JOB). Under the Role Name, enter Workforce Profile and this should provide you with the list of the Duty Roles. You should be able to see the Workforce Profile Administrator Duty Role (ORA_HRT_WORKFORCE_PROFILE_ADMINISTRATION_DUTY).

In addition, the Manage Profile Upgrade Mapping task can only be accessed using the Search Profiles UI; therefore, the role should have access to the Search Talent Profile functional privilege (HRT_SEARCH_TALENT_PROFILE). This functional privilege is granted to the Workforce Profile Specialist Duty (ORA_HRT_WORKFORCE_PROFILE_SPECIALIST_DUTY). This duty role is granted to the Human Resource Specialist job role (ORA_PER_HUMAN_RESOURCE_SPECIALIST_JOB).

• Human Resource Specialist
  • Workforce Profile Specialist Duty
    • Search Talent Profile

You can use the Human Resource Specialist job role to access the Search Profiles UI or map the Workforce Profile Specialist Duty to any role to have access to the mapping task and other Profile Management setup tasks in the Search Profiles UI.

To check, log in as a Security Manager, go to the Security Console, select Roles, and search for Human Resource Specialist Job Role, select ORA_PER_HUMAN_RESOURCE_SPECIALIST_JOB, and under the Role Name, enter Workforce Profile and it should provide you with the list of the Duty Roles. You should be able to see Workforce Profile Administrator Duty Role (ORA_HRT_WORKFORCE_PROFILE_SPECIALIST_DUTY).

Release 13 security enhancements will continue to be supported for seeded content sections that are migrated to the Profiles upgrade. Therefore, once seeded content sections are migrated, the security setup pre-migration will persist after the upgrade. In the case of existing customer-defined content sections that are mapped to a template and a new content section is created, you will need to configure security for that newly created content section after the upgrade.

In addition, content section security secures user access to the various delivered talent ratings. The aggregate security privilege, View Talent Ratings, is required to gain access to the new Talent Ratings page.

• You can only add multiple competency type sections if you have enabled the Enhanced Talent Profile Management. For information about how to upgrade to the enhanced Talent Profile Management, see Upgrading Oracle Fusion Profile Management (Doc ID 2421964.1) on My Oracle Support.
• You must define competency sections using the Competencies Template in Enhanced Talent Profile Management.

Tips And Considerations

• When Enhanced Talent Profile Management is enabled, the performance template does not support the configuration Use specific profile. Customers can instead create an additional competency section in the performance template. For example, if Use specific profile was used for organization competencies when Classic Profile Management was enabled, in Enhanced Talent Profile Management, customers can define a new Profiles Competency Section which includes the same competencies as the specific profile and use this to create an additional Performance Competency Section.

Recruiting

Recruiting

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.

Interview Management Enhancements

Hiring teams and candidates have more control over the interview scheduling process with enhanced interview schedule settings and candidate actions.

New interview schedule template settings and candidate actions allow for hiring teams to decide how much control candidates have over their interviews. Options like candidate rescheduling and controls around when and how frequently candidates can make changes to scheduled interviews provide the flexibility that hiring teams need when managing interviews. In addition to new settings, candidate facing interview details can now be translated in multiple languages at the interview schedule template and interview schedule levels and candidates can receive calendar attachments to remind them of their scheduled interview.

ENHANCEMENTS FOR RECRUITERS

Send Invites to Reschedule Interviews

You can use the Send Invitation to Reschedule action on candidate managed schedules when you are on the Interviews list or viewing the details of an interview. Candidates receive a notification containing a link to access their career site where the can reschedule their interview.

Delete Interview Schedules from Requisitions

You can use the Delete Schedule action to delete the interview schedule on a job requisition when no interviews exist on that schedule.

Translate Interviews

You can use Translate Schedule action to translate interview schedule templates and interview schedules. You can translate these fields: 

• Schedule title
• Pre-schedule Details
• Post-schedule Details

Enter Notes for Candidates

In interview details, you can use the Notes to Candidate field to add notes to candidates to provide, for example, additional interview specific info for the candidate.

Edit Settings of Interview Schedules

You can edit settings for interview schedules. These settings are available in the Settings section of the interview schedules and can also be defined on interview schedule templates.

Automatically Fill Job Requisitions

You can automatically change the status of a job requisition to "Filled" once the number of hired candidates matches the number of openings on the job requisition.

When you create a job requisition, enable the Automatically Fill Requisition option available in the Configuration section.

Configuration Section with Automatically Fill Requisition Option

A job application is considered to be "hired" once it reaches the HR phase.

When you enable the Automatically Fill Requisition option on a job requisition, the requisition won’t be filled automatically if it has job applications in the following status:

• Offer - Pending Approval
• Offer – Extended or later in the selection process (but not in the HR phase) which includes:
  • Offer - Accepted
  • Custom phases after the Offer phase, but not the terminal states Rejected by Employer, Withdrawn by Candidate. (Job applications in terminal states don’t prevent automatic filling)

When a job requisition is automatically filled:

• Active job applications are moved to the "Rejected by Employer" state of the phase they are currently in.
• The job requisition is automatically unposted from all career sites.
• The job requisition is automatically unposted from all job boards.
• A notification is sent to all members of the hiring team to inform them that the requisition is filled.

• Screening    
• Prescreening    
• Feedback    
• Interactions

For example, when you are on the Interactions tab of a job application for a linked requisition, you can select to display interactions from the linked job application or from the pipeline job application.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Capture Candidate's Preferred Locations on Job Application

External candidates can select preferred locations when applying for a job.

Preferred locations displayed to candidates are based on work locations and posting locations defined in the job requisition:

• If the requisition has one work location, only that work location is displayed to candidates. 
• If the requisition has multiple work locations, all work locations are displayed to candidates.
• If the requisition has no work locations, posting locations are displayed to candidates.

Candidates can select a maximum of 3 locations. The selection of work locations is optional.

As a recruiter, when you view the list of job applications for a requisition, you can filter the list based on the preferred locations selected by candidates during the application process. You can also view preferred locations selected by the candidate within the candidate job application, in the Preferences section.

Steps to Enable

You need to add the Preferred Locations block to a job application flow of type Apply. The block is only available for external job application flows. You can add the block to any section.

4. Configure the flow as any other flow.
5. When creating a version of the flow, add the Preferred Locations block.

Agency Hiring

You can invite agencies to submit candidates for specific requisitions.

In the job requisition Posting tab, a Staffing Agents section is available. Click the Agent selector to access the Agents page. This is where you can add one or more agents to the job requisition. You can select agents who match the country and job family of the requisition. When you select an agent, you can see useful metrics about the agent:

• Number of Invitations to Submit Candidates: Number of job requisitions to which the agent was invited to submit candidates.
• Percentage of Successful Job Applications: Percentage of candidates who were offered a job out of the job applications the agent submitted.
• Average Time to Offer Phase: Average time required for the agent to source candidates through to the Offer phase.

Once you have selected agents, click the Invite Agents button to send agents an invitation to submit candidates for the job requisition.

When a candidate is referred by an agency, the information is tracked in the candidate file Source Information section. You can see:

• Source: Name of the agency that submitted the candidate.

Agency Portal

Staffing agents have access to an agency portal where they can perform several tasks such as submitting candidates for a requisition, creating candidate profiles, viewing their referrals, viewing job applications of talent sourced by the agency.

Agency Portal

The agency portal is organized into four areas:

• Invitations: Agents can view job requisitions for which they were invited to submit candidates. Agents can click the Submit Candidate button to submit a candidate for a requisition. The list of candidates available for selection are candidates not already submitted for the requisition and candidates who were sourced by the agency for a specific period of time. Candidates are added to the requisition as prospects.
• Talent: Agents can view the list of candidates sourced by the agency. Agents can click the Add button to create a candidate profile. When saving the information entered about the candidate, a check is done to verify if the candidate already exists in the agency database.  If no duplicate is found, the agent can continue the creation process. An email is sent to the candidate to inform them that a profile was created. The candidate accesses the candidate self service area of the career site to review their profile and make changes, if any.
• Referrals: Agents can view candidates they referred and their status.
• Job Applications: Agents can view job applications for talent sourced by their agency.

Steps to Enable

Position-Based Offers Respect Position Open Headcount

For position-based offers, you can move candidates forward through the lifecycle if the position has sufficient open headcount to accommodate a new worker as of the offer's intended start date.

An offer can only progress if the job requisition and associated position have room for another candidate. Here are the situations where the openings on the requisition and headcounts on the position are checked:

• When you submit a job offer for approval, there is a check to see if there is still room in both the requisition’s openings and the position’s headcount.
• When you extend a job offer to a candidate, there is a check to see if there is still room in both the requisition’s openings and the position’s headcount.
• When you use the Move to HR action for a new hire or rehire candidate, the HR specialist will have to process them differently depending upon whether or not there is still room in the position’s headcount.
• When the HR specialist progresses candidates from HR - To Be Processed, the normal constraints will be applied for these preselected HR actions, including checking whether there is still room in the position’s headcount.

NOTE: In previous releases, the check was only done on the requisition’s openings when you were extending a job offer to a candidate.

It is possible to configure the application to fully control how to manage requisitions and offers to fill positions.

• Number of Incumbents Validation: This setting controls whether or not a position’s headcount is enforced across your organization. When disabled, the headcount of the position is never checked to see if there is still room.
• Allow Overlap: This option is available for each position to control whether or not extra people can be hired when the position’s headcount limit has been reached.
• Communicate Job Offers Ignoring Requisition Limits: This privilege allows Recruiting users to hire more candidates than the number of openings on the requisition.

Configure Search Filters for Candidates

As an administrator, you can configure which search filters are visible to external candidates on career sites.

Search filters you can configure are:

• Locations
• Work Locations
• Titles
• Categories
• Posting Dates

Steps to Enable

To enable search filters on a career site:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the following:

4. In the Search Filters section, select desired search filters. 
5. Click Preview to see how filters will be displayed to candidates.

Tips And Considerations

The Work Locations search filter is available as a configurable option but it will not appear to candidates on the career site. This filter is driven by the Elastic Search feature which is not fully available in update 19C.

Display Work Locations to Candidates

You can display detailed work location address to candidates on career sites.

If you add a work location to a job requisition, this becomes the location of the job available to candidates.

• If the job requisition has at least one work location, the posting location is displayed on the job list and on job details page below the job title, and the work location is displayed on the job details page in the Job Information section.
• If the job requisition has no work location, the posting location is displayed on the job list and below the job title and in Job Information section on job details page.

Candidates can search for jobs based on jobs posting locations. They can view the work locations of a job requisition in the Job Information section. If work locations were not added to the requisition, posting locations are displayed.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

Due to elastic search not being available in 19C, functionalities are limited.

Update of Email Address by Candidates

External candidates can update their email address when editing their personal information on the candidate self service page.

When a candidate enters a new email address, the email address is verified to ensure its format is valid. Once the email is changed, a message is sent to the new email address and the candidate must click the link in the message to confirm the new email address. Once the new email address is confirmed, it replaces the old one.

Steps to Enable

Changes to Navigation for Managing Job Offers by HR Specialist

Users with the standard HR Specialist role must often go to a list of candidates who have accepted new job offers, in order to manually process the internal mobility candidates, or to troubleshoot any errors from creating pending worker records for external candidates. 

Previously this processing was done on the Recruiting Job Offers tab in the New Person work area. This work area is being phased out.

New Dimension to Report on Target Goal Target Outcome

We have made it easier for you to report on goal target outcomes with the addition of a new reporting dimension, Target Outcomes New in Workforce Goals - Target Outcomes Real Time, which allows you to report on target outcomes stored in the talent profile. This new dimension synchronizes the data captured by the integration of the enhanced Goal Management Target Outcome feature and the enhanced Talent Profile.

NOTE: The 'Target Outcomes New' dimension will, by default, be available in your OTBI subject area but only renders relevant target outcome data if you are using the Goal Management Target Outcome feature and the enhanced Talent Profile. For customers that have not opted in to the new enhancement related to the talent profile, the existing dimension 'Target Outcomes' will continue to render data.

Steps to Enable

Learning

Enhanced Learning Assessment Dimension

We have made it easier for you to report on the assessment of learning record tasks. You can report on all of the responses given by a learner for an assessment (for a learning record) using these attributes:

These attributes return all of the responses given by a learner for an assessment (for a learning record).

Name	Description	Notes
"Assessment Details" "Response Attempt Number"		Indicates the 'index' of the response, or how many times the learner attempted to respond, starting with 1.
"Response Created Date Time"		The timestamp when the response was created (when the learner started to respond).
"Response Submission Date"		The timestamp when the response was submitted (when the learner clicked the Submit button).

NOTE: Only the answers where the learner clicked "Submit" are available in BI Answer. If the learner simply clicked 'Save and Close' on the assessment, that is not sufficient.
