Human Resources Command Center

Human Resources Command Center Overview

The Human Resources Command Center gives HR personnel, line managers, and supervisors the information needed to identify workforce resources and to effectively address HR related business processes. You can improve your decision making and maximize operational efficiency with the guided navigation and search capability of the command center. Identify operational issues through metrics, graphs, and tag clouds, and take action by performing HR tasks.

The Human Resources Command Center includes the following dashboards:

• Workforce Explorer: Use this dashboard to search and filter people data. You can track assignment changes for your workforce using the Timeline view.

• Person Hierarchy: Use this dashboard to search for a person and view that person's reporting hierarchy.

Note: You can use the Human Resources Command Center only after the installation and common configurations are completed as described in My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 2495053.1, Installing Oracle Enterprise Command Center Framework, Release 12.2. For additional ECC overview information, see Overview of Enterprise Command Centers, Oracle E-Business Suite User's Guide.

Searching Enterprise Command Center Dashboards

Use the dashboard sidebar to refine (filter) the data on each dashboard. You can select a value or record from the Available Refinements component, or use Search to find a keyword, a value, or a specific record. The type-ahead feature suggests matches for your entry that correspond to the available refinements. When you submit a search, the search term is added to the Selected Refinements list, and the dashboard data is refined to include only records that match the search. You can add multiple refinements and remove any of them at any time. Use Saved Search to create and save your search. You can edit, delete, or refer to this saved search. You can also use data sets to further refine your search.

Use an asterisk (*) or percent (%) to perform a partial keyword or record search that matches any string of zero or more characters. You can also use a question mark (?) to perform a partial search that matches any single character.

Additional Information: For more information about searching for and refining data in enterprise command centers, see Search in Highlights of an Enterprise Command Center, Oracle E-Business Suite User's Guide.

Workforce Explorer Dashboard

See Human Resources Command Center Overview.

The Workforce Explorer dashboard gives visibility into the workforce (employees and contingent workers) that you can access. The dashboard enables you to analyze and interpret workforce data with the aid of metrics, tags, and charts.

Important: The security profiles that have been set up in your enterprise determine the workforce records that you can access.

Use the Workforce Explorer dashboard to:

• Search for and identify employees or contingent workers based on a combination of personal and assignment attributes.

• Analyze the workforce distribution using dimensions such as country, job, or position.

• Select and review employee details to make informed decisions.

• Use the Assignment Timeline feature to view the assignment changes for a selected person.

• Drill down to the talent profile of an employee or a contingent worker to perform various HR actions.

Access the Workforce Explorer dashboard using the responsibility and navigation that your enterprise has set up.

Note: To search for employees or contingent workers, click Personal in the Available Refinements component and then select a person type. If you do not specify a person type, then the dashboard data includes all person types. You can save the selected refinements as a saved search and reuse the search later. The selected refinements appear as breadcrumbs, which enhance the visibility of applied filters. For information about saved searches and the breadcrumbs feature, refer to the Oracle E-Business Suite User's Guide.

Using Further Person Search

In the Available Refinements component, the Further Person Search attribute group is available for the following legislations:

Legislation	Context Code
US	US
UK	GB

To search for persons using the legislative-specific search criteria, select the required context code from Available Refinements, and then choose from any of the fields that are listed for that context code.

Workforce Explorer Dashboard

Compare Tab: Timeline Column

Assignment Timeline

Analytics Tab

The following table describes the dashboard:

Component	Description
Person Metrics (summary bar)	This summary bar shows the strength of the workforce. Review the number of employees, contingent workers, or both in the workforce.
People (tab)	This tab displays the following: Tag Cloud: Select a dimension to generate a tag cloud based on position, job, tag, country, competency name, or qualification. This component displays the tags in relative sizes based on the number of workers in the selected dimension. Distribution of Persons: This bubble chart displays the strength of the workforce by the average tenure for a country or a position. The default view is by country. The hover text for each bubble displays the workforce strength and the average work tenure in that country or that position.
Compare (tab)	In this tab, you can perform the following actions: To view primary assignment changes for an employee or a worker in chronological order, click the icon in the Timeline column. The Assignment Timeline shows changes for the following assignment events: Hire Job Position Grade Location Organization Salary End Employment End Placement Rehire Note: The timeline view displays information only for active assignments up to the current year. Future-dated events are not shown. If you update assignment events in Oracle HRMS, then for you to see these event changes in the timeline, your system administrator must run the PER ECC Data Load program with the incremental data load option. To compare people using attributes such as person type, organization, and work experience, select two or more people and click Compare. For example, a line manager can identify the best person for a job by comparing the work experience of multiple people. To export the comparison data in a comma-separated values (CSV) file, click Export. The resulting file contains the selected refinements applied on the dashboard, the data set name, and the refined data.
Analytics (tab)	This tab displays the following charts. Total Persons Distribution: By default, this pie chart shows the percentage of the total workforce in each country. Select a different dimension to view the workforce distribution by organization, location, position, or job. The hover text for each segment displays the strength of the workforce in that dimension. Average Work Tenure Distribution: By default, this stacked bar chart shows the strength of the workforce by average work experience in each county. Select a different dimension to view the tenure distribution by location, organization, position, grade, or job.
Person List (results table)	This table appears when you click the People tab. Details are presented in a card format. To see a person's talent profile and to perform HR actions, click the person's name. Note: To enable talent profiles, your enterprise must license Oracle Self-Service Human Resources.

Person Hierarchy Dashboard

See Human Resources Command Center Overview.

Use the Person Hierarchy dashboard to:

• Search for an employee or a contingent worker and view the person details.

• Trace the reporting hierarchy for a supervisor using a Network Diagram , and view details for the hierarchy. You can view all reporting structures regardless of the security model.

• Review the hierarchy information graphically using Row Expander feature.

Access the Person Hierarchy dashboard using the responsibility and navigation that your enterprise has set up.

Person Hierarchy Dashboard

The following sections describe the dashboard.

Using the Search Box

To search for a person:

1. Enter a search term in the Search box. The search engine fetches all records that contain the search term in any of the following attributes:

   • Name

   • Phone

   • Email Address

   • Organization

   • Job

   • Position

   • Location

   • Grade

   • Supervisor

2. In the Search box, scroll down the list of attributes that contains the search term, which is highlighted.

   Search Term Highlighted

   

3. In the attribute list, select the value that you want to search for.

For example, to review the list of workers who report to Pat Stock, a supervisor:

1. Enter Stock in the search box. The search box displays a list of attributes, such as Location, Supervisor, Last Name, Full Name, and Organization, that contain "Stock," which is highlighted.

2. Because you are looking for Pat Stock, a supervisor, select Stock, Pat in the Supervisor attribute that is listed. The People List table shows the workers who report to Pat Stock.

Important: When you search using the Supervisor attribute, the People List displays only the workers who report to the supervisor. The supervisor is not included in the People List table. Therefore, to view a person's reporting hierarchy, search for the person using an attribute other than Supervisor, for example, Full Name, Last Name, Job, Position, or Location and then click the Full Name link in the People List table.

Search Examples Using Attributes

• Job

  Person Search Using the Job Attribute

  

  To search for a specific person with the "MGR500.Manager" job, enter MGR in the search box and select MGR500.Manager in the Job attribute list. The People List table displays persons with the MGR500.Manager job along with other details. To view a person's reporting hierarchy, click that person's name link in the Full Name column.
