How You Configure List of Values (LOVs)

You can centrally configure list of values (LOV) used in HCM so that the same search and display fields appear on all pages that use this LOV. You can independently configure the search and display fields.

The configuration controls what your users will see in results; display or search-and-display fields, and what fields user will be able to search against - search-only or search-and-display fields. For example, if you configure Name, Work Email, and Person Number as searchable fields for the Workers LOV, these fields will appear on all pages that have the Workers LOV and you can use them in searching for values.

You can do these actions, based on the particular LOV capabilities and your requirements.

• Hide fields that aren't relevant for your organization

• Add more fields to enhance the search results and easily identify an individual record

• Reorder fields to reflect their relevance in your organization

You can configure these LOVs on the Search Configuration page in the HCM Experience Design Studio.

• Countries

• Departments

• Jobs

• Locations

• Phone Countries

• Positions

• Workers

These are some key points to note:

• If Oracle Search or database implementations of the same LOVs are available, then only the enabled one will be listed.

• The LOV configuration is a replacement for any personalization implemented through Page Composer. Any personalization done using Page Composer may be overwritten on upgrade. It's recommended to revert any personalization and use the LOV Configuration instead.

• The user must have the Access HCM Page Configurator (HRC_ACCESS_HCM_TRANSACTION_CONFIGURATOR_PRIV) privilege to your user to access the LOV configuration UI.

LOV Configuration Options

You can configure these options on the individual LOV configuration pages.

Workers LOV

You need to enter a search term to display the search results. No workers are displayed when you don't enter any search terms in the LOV. This is to prevent showing random workers initially, even before you search for a worker as most times randomly listed people may not be the people that you're searching. This helps in improving both, user experience and performance.

You can't search by business title; it's disabled by default. You can enable it on the Manage Administrator Profile Values page by setting the PER_LOV_SEARCH_WORKERS_EXCLUDE_BUSINESS_TITLE profile option to N. You need to then change the property of the Business Title field from Display only to Search and display in the Search and Display Fields section.

Note: The Workers LOV attributes vary depending on whether Oracle Search is enabled for people.
