Opt In To New Features After Update

New functional areas and features for an offering you have implemented are often introduced in the later updates of Fusion Applications. You can use the New Features work area to explore and decide whether to opt in to them.

You need the following privileges to opt in to:

  • Review Applications Offering (ASM_REVIEW_APPLICATIONS_OFFERINGS_PRIV)

  • Configure Oracle Fusion Applications Offering (ASM_CONFIGURE_OFFERING_PRIV)

To opt in to new functional areas and features, follow these steps.

  1. Click Navigator > My Enterprise > New Features.

  2. On the Features Overview page:

    • Use the New Features tab to review and opt in to new functional areas and features that were introduced in the last update of the offerings.

    • Use the Available Features tab if you would like to review a comprehensive list of new functional areas and features that are currently available for use, but were introduced through several previous updates.

  3. Leave the Feature Overview value to its default selection of All Enabled Offerings so that you can review features related to all your enabled offerings. Or, select a specific offering from the menu to review features specific to that offering.

  4. On the New Features and Available Features tabs, for each new functional area or feature, review the information in these columns:

    • Functional Area: To determine the related functional module or business process. You can use the filter to limit the list of the features to specific functional areas.

      Note: Features that are directly associated with the offering will show offering name followed by the word Common.

    • Learn More: To find additional help topics.

      Tip: If the Learn More column isn't visible, go to the global header, click your user image or name, and select Show Help Icons.

    • Enabled: To view the opt-in status. You will see a check mark if it's already enabled. Otherwise, you will see an icon to enable it.

    • Allows Opt-In: To find out whether you have a choice to opt in to a feature or not. A check mark indicates that you can opt in to or out of that feature. If the column shows nothing, it means that once the feature is enabled, it remains always enabled and you can't opt out of it.

    • Requires Setup: To learn whether setup is required, and to plan accordingly.

    • Changes To and Changes In: To find out whether the feature's behavior will change in the future, and if yes, in which update.

      A feature that allows opt-in may change to always enabled or obsolete in the future. Similarly, an always-enabled feature may become obsolete in the future.

  5. If you decide to opt in to any functional area or feature, here are the next steps.

    • To enable a new functional area, click the icon in the Enabled column. On the Opt In page, select the Enable check box for the specific functional area and click Done.

    • To enable a new feature, click the icon in the Enabled column. On the Edit Features page, select the Enable check box for the specific feature. For features with multiple choices, select the applicable choices. After all selections are complete, click Done.

      If the Enable check box isn't available for selection, click the icon in the Opt In Task column to enable a feature using an opt-in task.
