Oracle Retail applications, such as the Oracle Retail Process Orchestration and Monitoring (POM) application, include some common interface options and controls that you can use throughout the application workflow. The following sections describe these user interface controls in more detail.
Although you may have more than one Oracle Retail application installed on your system, each application may use many of the same interface components and abide by common rules and constraints.
You can quickly access the tasks of current applications and switch to other applications from the Navigation bar. For more information on the Navigation bar, see the Navigation Area section.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
To log on to the application:
Go to the URL for the application in a web browser.
The Welcome Screen opens.
Provide the following login information:
Enter your user name in the Username field.
Enter your password in the Password field.
Click Login.
You can quickly access the tasks of current applications and switch to other applications from the Navigation bar.
The following Navigation bar options are common across all the applications:
Oracle Retail applications support a variety of navigational tools and methods that allow you to move efficiently between application pages. Information on how to use and manage each of the tools and methods is included in this section.
A task is a set of links to a series of task flows organized in a specific sequence to accomplish a business process or procedure. For example, tasks can be defined for common multi-step procedures or processes so that you can quickly step through tasks. By navigating sequentially to the pages outlined in the task, you are assisted in stepping through the business process or activity.
Your Tasks list appears on the top left side of the home page. All of the tasks to which you have access are listed on the Tasks window. You can either click on the specific task name to open, or use the Task Search component to search for a Task that you want to open.
To begin working with a task, choose the application feature or process from the list.

Note: Your task menu may appear slightly different, depending on your retail application. |
The Notifications option brings events within the application to your attention.
See the following examples:
The Notification Badge displays the number of unread notifications for the user in the sidebar menu. The Notification Badge displays '99+', when there are more than 99 notifications.
The notification count is periodically refreshed at regular intervals. This interval is determined by a system-configured value.
When you click the Notification icon, a Notifications Sidebar is shown that displays the most recent set of unread notifications in the notifications screen (depending on the filter set).
Each component of the Notifications Sidebar is discussed in detail in the following sections:
A search bar at the top of the panel allows for searching through notifications. The search bar has auto-suggest enabled, so it displays notifications as the user types.
Right next to the search bar is the 'List/Group' view toggle button. This causes the Notification results to be displayed either in a flat or grouped view.
The Filtering Panel allows you to filter notifications based on the creation Time Period, Type and Severity.
The values for the Time Period and Severity components are pre-seeded constants. The Type drop-down lists all the notification types available in the system.
When you click the Apply button, notifications that match the criteria are shown in the Results Panel.
This panel allows you to group notifications based on different attributes.
The values of the 'Group by' and the 'Then by' components are pre-seeded.
When no selection is made in the Grouping panel, the Results Panel displays notifications in a list format.
The image below shows a simple search without any filtering or grouping.
Indicates that one filter was applied.
Notification Type - A description of the Type is displayed.
Read/Unread - A blue icon 
is shown next to the notification if it is unread.
Notification Severity - A label indicating the severity of the notification is shown.
Description - The description associated with the notification. If the notification was designed to launch into a relevant flow, then this is displayed as a link. Otherwise, the description is rendered as plain text.
Creation Time - A timestamp that shows the date and time at which the notification was created.
User name - Creator of the notification.
Notifications are displayed in a grouped format within the Results panel, when the Group By drop-down in the Grouping Panel is selected.
Notifications are displayed in groups with three notifications shown for each group.
Indicates the Group-By drop-down is selected on the Grouping Panel.
The value of the Group-By attribute. In this example, the results were grouped by Notification Type. Hence the Notification Type is shown as the header of the group.
For each group, three notifications are shown followed by a 'See More' link. When you click this link, up to 25 notifications are displayed for that group.
Notifications are summarized as shown in this example, when both the Group By and the Then By drop-downs in the Grouping Panel are selected.
The summary view displays various groups and within them subgroups based on the selections on the Grouping panel. For each subgroup, a count of the notifications within that subgroup, grouped by severity is displayed.
The example here depicts a grouping by department, then by class.
Indicates that both options on the Grouping Panel have been selected.
First level of grouping is by Schedule Name. Here the first type shown is 'RSP'.
The subgroup within Type 'RSP'. In this example, this is the Business Date.
The number of notifications within that combination of Group and Subgroup.
A grouping by severity of all notifications within that combination of Group and Subgroup.
The timestamp of the most recent notification of that combination of Group and Subgroup.
The Notifications tab opens when you click the 'See All' link at the bottom of the Notifications side panel.
This tab lists all the notifications for the logged-in user, regardless of whether they are in Read or Unread status. Information tiles display a break-up of the total notifications by severity. Clicking these tiles refreshes the table below to display only those notifications that are relevant to that tile.
You can perform the following operations from this tab.
Delete 
- The table allows for multiple selection and hence multiple notifications can be deleted at a time. Use the row header to select the row.
Refresh 
- This refreshes the list of notifications in the table.
Mark as Read - Multiple Unread Notifications can be marked as Read by clicking this button.
Mark as Unread - Multiple Read Notifications can be marked as Unread by clicking this button.
Reassign Notifications 
- Notifications can be reassigned to individual recipients or a group by clicking the Reassign Notifications icon. On selecting a row in the All Notifications table, and clicking the icon, the reassign notification popup is displayed. The Type is set to Reassigned by default, and the Severity and Description are pre-populated from the selected row; you can then change any of these values and assign the notification to one or more recipients.
The All Notifications table displays the following columns:
Severity - A colored label indicating the Notification Severity.
Status - If the status is unread, an icon is shown. Otherwise it is blank.
Description - The description of the notification itself.
Type- The description of the Notification Type for the notification.
Alerts -
Recipients - In case of individual notifications, this column contains the user ID of the user to whom the notification is assigned. When the notification is assigned to multiple users, it displays the text 'Multiple' and enables a context popup which lists all the recipients. This field is empty when the notification is assigned to a group associated with a type.
Creation Date - Timestamp showing the date and time of creation.
Created By - User ID of the user who created the notification.
Last Updated Date - Timestamp showing the date and time when the last update was made.
Last Updated By - User ID of the user who last updated the notification.
Application ID - Unique identifier that identifies the application. Not visible by default.
