Controlling Focus on Coach Marks and Teaching Bubbles

Coach marks are temporary indicators overlaid on user interface elements. When clicked, they open teaching bubbles which provide useful information or help text to educate users about the interface element. In Oracle Smart View for Office (Mac and Browser), coach marks appear on various Smart View (Mac and Browser) components such as the Home panel, Task List panel, Mass Allocate dialog, and so on.

Opening Teaching Bubbles

In Smart View (Mac and Browser), the coach marks and teaching bubbles are enabled by default.

You can click a coach mark to open the teaching bubble and read its content. Alternatively, you can also use the following keyboard equivalents.

  1. To open a teaching bubble, you can press either the Enter key or Alt+C when the focus is on the coach mark.
  2. If you are using JAWS, the screen reader announces that the coach mark has appeared and you can press Alt+C to open the teaching bubble.

Disabling and Enabling Coach Marks and Teaching Bubbles

When a coach mark is present on the worksheet or in panels, the focus is automatically set on the coach mark first, instead of other interface elements. To avoid this behavior, you can disable the coach marks and teaching bubbles from Smart View Settings.

To access Smart View (Mac and Browser) settings:

  1. Log in to your Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud business process environment; for example, if you work in Planning, log in to your Planning environment.
  2. Once logged in, go to the Smart View Settings page, svsettings.html, by manually changing the business process URL to the following:

    https://< serviceURL >/HyperionPlanning/svsettings.html

    The Smart View Settings page opens.

To disable teaching bubbles:

  1. On the Smart View Settings page, select the Disable Teaching Bubbles check box.
  2. Go to Office 365 and open your worksheet, if not already open. The coach marks and teaching bubbles no longer appear.

To enable teaching bubbles, if disabled earlier:

  1. On the Smart View Settings page, clear the Disable Teaching Bubbles check box.
  2. Close your business process web application and Office 365 browser application, if open.
  3. Log in to your business process web application and Office 365 browser application and open your worksheet. The coach marks and teaching bubbles start appearing again.
