Manage Getting Started Content

The Getting Started work area provides information to introduce new users to the application. There's one predefined page introducing Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, and you can add your own pages so that people get content specific to your company.

If there are no added pages for your company, you open the predefined page when you click Getting Started from the Others menu group in the Navigator. But, if you have the Manage Help Content (ATK_CUSTOMIZE_HELP_TOPICS_PRIV) privilege, clicking Getting Started opens a launch page containing a set of links:

  • The Oracle Applications link opens the predefined page. You can hide this page for all users, and you can add your own pages too.

  • The links for individual product families open blank pages where you can add your own pages if you want to provide content that's specific to particular applications. If you add pages to these links, your users will now see the launch page when they click Getting Started so they can choose which set of content they want to view.

    Tip: You can change the text of the links on the launch page using the User Interface Text tool. This flexibility means you could design sets of content for different roles or different locations, for example, rather than for different product families.

To edit Getting Started content:

  1. Click Navigator > Others > Getting Started.

  2. Click a link to open the set of pages you want to change.

  3. Click the Edit Getting Started link.

Here's what you can do:

  • Create and edit pages using a rich text or HTML source code editor.

  • Reorder the pages.

  • Activate or inactivate any page.

    Tip: To hide the link to a set of Getting Started pages, inactivate all pages within that set. Users with access to edit Getting Started pages can still see the link, but everyone else can't. If you inactivate all sets except one, then users land on the first page of the active set when they open the Getting Started work area.
  • Delete added pages (not predefined ones).
