1. Personalization

OA Personalization Framework allows you to personalize your user interface (UI) of Oracle Self-Service Web Applications without modifying any underlying code.

Following are some common types of personalizations you can accomplish with OAPersonalization Framework:

Change the prompt for a field or other text on a page Hide or show a field on a page Make the fields mandatory and non mandatory Reorder fields or items on a page Restrict data that a user can access Add new buttons, links, text items, images, etc. (Creation of Items)

2. Profile Options:

3. Personalization Levels

There are different Levels available at which the Personalizations can be made are

Function Custom/Seeded Site Organization and Responsibility Level

Version 1.0 Page 3

Function Level:

You can create personalizations for a region at the Function level, such that the personalizations arevisible only when you display the region by selecting a specific function. For Example, suppose you have

an updatable region and you want that region to be updatable when accessed from FunctionA in themenu, but to be read-only when accessed from FunctionB in the menu. To accomplish this, you create aFunction level personalization that makes all the fields read-only for FunctionB. You can have only oneset of personalizations per region per function.

Site Level:

A site refers to an installation of Oracle Self-Service Web Applications. Personalizations that you make atthe site level affect all users of the current installation.

Organization Level:

Depending on the context you choose, an Organization can be a plant, a unit, a department, a division

within a company or even a complete company (BG). Personalizations that you make at the Organizationlevel affect all users of that Organization.

Responsibility Level:

When you make personalizations at the responsibility level for a specific responsibility, the changes areeffective only for the users of that responsibility.
