Setting Your Preferences

You can set your preferences to upload a profile picture, change your time zone and display language, and mark yourself as out of the office.

To set your preferences:

1. Click your user name in the top- right corner of the screen, and then select User Preferences.
2. Click Edit.
3. Set your preferences for:
   • Your profile image. Click Choose File and then select a file of type .jpg, .png, or .gif. The file that you select must be less than 2 MB.

     Click Clear to remove the profile image.

   • Your time zone. Select your time zone from the drop down, or leave the default Use Client Time Zone to use the time zone of the browser's locale.

     Note:

     The time zone that you select is reflected in date and time values throughout Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Data Management, overriding the default time zone for the current locale.

   • Your language. If you don’t select a language, then your browser’s locale is used.

     Note:

     Log out and in to see the language change. The date format is displayed using the locale format in most places. For example:

     • Data objects such as views, applications, node types, hierarchy sets and node sets

     • Properties

     • Audit transaction history

     • Requests

   • Your Out of Office status. Follow this procedure to mark yourself out of office:
     1. Select I am currently out of the office to take yourself out of the workflow, as follows:
        • Requests are no longer auto assigned to you in subscriptions. All assignments made before you marked yourself as out of the office remain. See Assigning Subscription Requests.
        • If your approval is required to break deadlocks on request escalations, the requests are automatically sent to the Data Manager until you mark yourself as back in the office.
     2. Optional: Use the Delegate drop down menu to select another user who will be invited to approve or commit requests on your behalf while you are out of the office. See Understanding Request Delegation.

        Note:

        The person that you assign as your delegate should have the appropriate permissions to view content and approve or commit requests. The system does not automatically assign them the necessary permissions to view and take action on requests.

   Note:

   When you mark yourself as out of the office, your user profile is updated with an informational indicator to show your current status. Click the indicator to return to User Preferences and update your status back to in the office.

4. Click Save.

Act as This Role (Service Administrators Only)

Service Administrators can use the Act As This Role drop down menu to act as a User in the system. When you act as a User role, only the permissions that are granted to you as a user (and the groups that you belong to) are used to determine your data and metadata access. The permissions granted to you by the Service Administrator predefined role (with the exceptions listed below) are disabled until you update your status back to a Service Administrator.

This enables you to test approval policies and validations with the permissions of a User and not a Service Administrator without having to create test users.

Note:

When you are acting as a User, your user profile is updated with a warning indicator to show your current status as a User. Click the indicator to return to User Preferences to update your status back to a Service Administrator.

When you are acting as a User:

• You can see only the views and requests that your user has been assigned permission on.
• You can edit only the metadata that your user has been assigned permission on.
• You can continue to perform these Service Administrator tasks:
  • Register new applications
  • Perform all audit tasks, such as auditing transaction history
