Understanding Profile Actions

The Profile Actions field appears on the Classic non-person profile and person profile pages. It enables administrators, managers, and employees to perform transactions directly from the profile pages, as shown in this example:

Use the Profile Actions component to modify action descriptions and to control which Profile Management roles within the organization (Administrator, Manager, or Employee) have access to specific actions. This functionality enables you to hide or display profile actions according to your organizational policies. For example, if your organization does not use the Search and Compare Profiles transaction, you can hide this option for each profile role.

Pages That Display the Profile Actions Field

The Profile Actions field is available on the Classic person and non-person profile pages throughout the system. The following pages display the Profile Actions field.

The administrator uses these pages to access profile data by navigating to Workforce Development, and then Profile Management, and then Profiles:

Person Profiles
Non-person Profiles

Note:

The administrator can access the fluid Workforce Administrator home page, and then Profile Administration tile, and then View Profiles tile to access these classic components.

See Maintaining Profiles as an Administrator.

Employees use these self-service pages to access profile data by navigating to Self Service, and then Learning and Development:

My Current Profile

Managers use these manager self-service pages to access profile data by navigating to Manager Self Service, and then Learning and Development:
