Initial Document Creation

Oracle Taleo Cloud for Midsize (Taleo Business Edition)

We are announcing the general availability of the 16B2 release of the Oracle Taleo Cloud for Midsize (TBE) on October 14th, 2016. This release enhances our fully responsive Talent Center, as well as provides some enhancements for Perform.

Talent Center Enhancements

Released in April, the Talent Center is our fresh and modern onboarding experience that is fully responsive. The Talent Center can be used on mobile devices as well as desktops. This release continues to improve the onboarding experience.

Document Repository

Administrators can now upload company documents to a document repository, allowing employees to view and download these documents from the Talent Center. This feature can be used in conjunction with the Employee Task onboarding activity introduced in the last release.

For example, customers can now have a repository of guides and forms that need to be downloaded and reviewed or signed, and then possibly uploaded again using the attachments widget.

Widgets Collapse and Expand

Employees have the ability to collapse and expand the widgets available on the Talent Center. In addition number of active and overdue items will be shown when the widgets are collapsed. This change enables employees to see more of the information they want to see in a cleaner, more organized layout, while still having easy access to the number of items in each widget.

Administrators have the ability to configure whether a widget should be collapsible or not. Important company announcements can be added to the Talent Center without the ability to collapse the widget so that employees never miss important information.

Perform Enhancements

This release includes some popular enhancement requests for Perform that will improve the user experience.

Employee Status Field for Reviews and Goals List Views

The employee status field can now be added to review and goals list views and page layouts. This change allows customers to filter out their inactive employees, if needed, from various list views or when searching for goals and reviews, providing for a better user experience.

Printing Option for Multi-Rater Feedback

There is now a Print button available when viewing multi-rater feedback, enabling managers to have a printed copy of the feedback when completing a performance review, if needed.

No Perform-Related Reminders for Terminated Employees

Email reminders for goals, reviews, and multi-rater requests will no longer be sent for terminated employees. Emails will not be sent to either the employee who is no longer with the company (but perhaps the email is being forwarded to another employee) nor to the manager to remind them to complete a review for an employee who is no longer with the company.

Oracle Learn Cloud and TBE Integration

Joint Learn and Taleo Business Edition customers will benefit from a new feature which will more closely tie the products together.

Learn Widgets on the Talent Center

TBE customers with Learn SSO have the ability to embed Learn widgets into the Talent Center. This enriches the employee experience by allowing them quick access to important data without having to log into Learn separately.

The following Learn widgets are available to embed into the Talent Center:
