Feature Summary

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
(Feature Delivered Enabled)

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
(Feature Delivered Disabled)

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.

Support for Attachments and Dynamic Questions on the Health Survey Questionnaire

As an environment, health, and safety (EHS) manager, you can set up questionnaires where responders can add attachments to their responses in the questionnaire. For example, responders can attach a copy of the vaccination certification with their response to a question about their vaccination status.

Add attachments to response in a questionnaire

As an EHS manager, you can set up a questionnaire where another question dynamically appears based on the response selected for a specific question. For example, if the responder selects Yes to a question about whether they have taken a booster shot, a question about how many booster shots the responder has taken dynamically comes up. 

Add dynamic questions in a questionnaire

Reorder Events

Note that the Health Survey option is always on top. Safety and cybersecurity events are separately ordered.

To order the events, search for and select the Manage Environment, Health and Safety Incidents task under Setup and Maintenance. You ca see the new Order column on the page and specify a number for each event indicating its order in the sequence.

IMPORTANT Actions and Considerations for Health & Safety

REPLACED OR REMOVED FEATURES

From time to time, Oracle replaces existing Cloud service features with new features or removes existing features. When a feature is replaced the older version may be removed immediately or at a future time. As a best practice, you should use the newer version of a replaced feature as soon as the newer version is available.
