Guidelines for Loading Content Items

Upload content items to item catalogs using HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader (HSDL) or HCM Data Loader (HDL) using spreadsheet templates. These templates are designed to cater to the validations of the content type for which items are getting added or updated.

The following templates are delivered for each content type and can be used to create or update content items:

Template Code Template Name
ORA_CONTENT_ITEM_PROJECTS Merge Content Items - Projects
ORA_CONTENT_ITEM_BEHAVIORS Merge Content Items - Behaviors
ORA_CONTENT_ITEM_ESTABLISHMENTS Merge Content Items - Establishment
ORA_CONTENT_ITEM_HONORS Merge Content Items - Honors and Awards

Use the Spreadsheet Templates task in the Data Exchange work area to review these templates. Here you can make copies to customize or grant access to the roles that can use each template. The templates support create and update of content items.

Content item rating levels can be uploaded for the content types that support rating model. The following templates can be used to upload content item rating levels for specific content type:

  • Merge Content Items - Behaviors

  • Merge Content Items - Competencies

  • Merge Content Items - Languages

In the above mentioned 3 templates, 10 instances of content item rating level are exposed. These can be used to override the rating level descriptions associated with the rating model for a given content item. If there are more than 10 rating levels, copy and create a new template and add the required number of instances of the content item rating level.
