Overview

This guide outlines the information you need to know about new or improved functionality included in Release 18B for Oracle Taleo Learn Cloud. Each section includes a brief description of the feature, the steps you need to take to enable or begin using the feature, any tips or considerations that you should keep in mind, and the resources available to help you.

Your CSS & New Features

Oracle Taleo Learn Cloud platform and general technology updates can affect complex or custom LearnCenter pages. If you are using a custom CSS file, it is important to verify your site CSS with each product release. Based on changes in the platform, there is a chance that you could see alignment or positioning issues after a release due to the custom CSS used on your site. Often any updates that your CSS requires are minor and easy to make. Contact Customer Support through My Oracle Support for any additional information.

Widget Enhancements

There are two new check boxes available in both the Search and Catalog Widget setups that enable you to refine what items are displayed in Widgets to end Users or Groups.

NOTE: This feature is supported for use with Dynamic Groups and not Classic Groups.

New Option for Catalog and Search Widget Setup

The Only display content in categories the group/user is also mapped to check box (available on the Content tab of either the Catalog or Search Widget setup) enables you to display only the items that are mapped to the same Categories to which the end User or Group is also mapped. What this means is:

• If John Smith and Couse 1 are both mapped to the Human Resources Category, when John looks at the Category Widget, Course 1 will display to him.
• If John Smith is mapped to the Finance Category and Course 1 is mapped to the Human Resources Category, John will not see Course 1 on the Category Widget.
• If the Sales Team Dynamic Group is mapped to the Sales Team Category, but Course 1 is mapped to Human Resources Category, then the Users mapped to the Sales Team Dynamic Group will not see Course 1 when they view the Category Widget.

WARNING: Selecting this check box makes your selection implicit, and inheritance from root or parent Categories does not apply. Users and items must be mapped to the exact same Category or sub Category in order for the items to display to Users on the Widget.

The Apply to Mapped Items check box lets you filter even further by only displaying the items within containers (Learning Plans, Enrollments, and Training Offerings) that are also mapped to the same Category as the User. What this means is that everything mapped to a container such as a Learning Plan (Courses, Enrollments, etc.) must also be mapped to the same Category as the User in order for the User to see it on the Widget.

USE CAUTION: Be sure to inspect the learning items that are mapped to Learning Plans to ensure that they are also mapped to the same Category as the Learning Plan and the Users. If required Learning Plan mapped items are not mapped to the same Category as the Learning Plan Users, then Users will not be able to complete the Learning Plans, because they will not have access to all of the Learning Plan’s required learning items.

For example if this check box is selected and:

• Learning Plan ABC is mapped to the New Users Category
• Course 1 – Required. Mapped to the New Users Category
• Course 2 – Required. Not mapped to any Category
• John Smith – Mapped to the New Users Category

John Smith cannot complete Learning Plan ABC, because Course 2 does not display to him on the Widget.

Key Resources

Refer to the online help topic called “Widgets” (TOC > LearnCenter Designer > Widgets) for complete instructions on working with Widgets.

New Alert Message for Users Without Supervisors

There is a new alert message available for configuration on the Communications tab of the Configuration Options page.

User Without a Supervisor Alert Message Configuration

This alert displays to Users who have no Supervisors when they self-map or self-register for training that requires supervisor approval. No Communication Messages are sent, but the designated Administrator can view and approve the pending or nominated requests. You can use the default LearnCenter text, or clear the Use Default check box and write your own message.

Key Resources

Refer to the topic in online help called “Configuring Contacts and Communication Options” (TOC > Options > Configuration Options > Configuring Contacts and Communication Options) for instructions on configuring alerts.

New Supervisor Bulk Loader

There is a new Bulk Loader included with this release. It enables you to do the following:

• Bulk upload Supervisors
• Map Supervisors to Supervisor Roles
• Map and un-map Users to the Supervisors.

Key Resources

REST API

The new REST API can support creating and updating Dynamic Groups for those customers with integrations who may have complex business requirements that are not currently supported by the Dynamic Groups feature. The REST API supports the creation and management of Dynamic Groups, and the adding and removing of Users for Dynamic Groups.

The Oracle Taleo Learn REST API document contains everything a Developer would need to begin working with the API.

Key Resources

If you are interested in working with the API, you must first complete a certification course. This course is located here: https://nmtaleo.learn.taleo.net/LearnIntegration.
