Journey Categories

This table shows the different journey categories delivered in the application and their specific usage and considerations.

Category	Usage	Points to Consider
Career Development	To configure tasks that need to be performed by workers to excel in their current roles and for career growth. For example, tasks related to learning, skill development, and career mobility. You must configure this category as part of implementing Oracle Grow.	You can create global journey templates for this category. Global templates are displayed on the Explore tab. These are displayed on the My Journeys, and Assigned Journeys tabs. You can create personal journeys templates for this category. Journey templates of this category are visible on the Grow page. When you create a journey in Oracle Grow, you can save it as a personal journey template for reuse later by using the Save as personal journey template option. The saved personal journey template in Oracle Grow is displayed on the Explore tab. If you create a personal journey with the same name as that of an existing journey, then the name will be suffixed with (n) where n is the instance number. For example, Learning Journey (2). You can associate skills and qualifications with journey templates for this category from the Relationships tab on the checklist template page.
Contextual Journey	To configure tasks that need to be performed by different task performers before a HCM transaction. For example, tasks that a manager needs to do before a transfer action.	Journey templates of this category aren't displayed on the Explore tab. Journeys of this category can be assigned to workers, but are not displayed on the My Journeys and Assigned Journeys tabs. This is because contextual journeys aren't standalone journeys, they are always triggered in the context of a quick action transaction. However, tasks in such journeys are visible on the My Tasks tab. Personal journey templates of this category can't be created.
Enterprise onboarding	To configure journey to onboard new hires either before, on, or after their joining date. For example, Oracle – Onboarding Process.	Journeys of this category were designed to be displayed on the responsive Onboarding page. The Journeys App no longer has this requirement. Hence, journeys of this category are no longer recommended when using Journeys. Journey templates of this category are displayed on the Explore tab. Journeys of this category can be assigned to workers, and they are displayed on the My Journeys and Assigned Journeys tabs. Personal journey templates of this category can't be created. This is the only journey category that supports phases.
Enterprise onboarding step	To configure onboarding tasks that new hires need to complete during the onboarding process. These need to be associated to an enterprise onboarding category template.	Journey templates of this category aren't displayed on the Explore tab. Personal journey templates of this category can't be created. Journeys of this category can't be directly assigned.
Gatekeeper law	Predefined gatekeeper law journey template that can be assigned to workers. This journey includes statutory tasks for compliance with the Gatekeeper Law, to support the reintegration of the employee back into the workforce after long-term or related sickness absences. This journey is assigned automatically when a specific absence type is recorded for a worker whose legal employer is in The Netherlands. This template can't be deleted or made inactive because it would impact the absence processing feature for workers in The Netherlands.	Journey templates of this category are delivered by the localization team especially for managing sickness in Netherlands. Journey templates of this category are displayed on the Explore tab. Journeys of this category can be assigned to workers, and they are displayed on the My Journeys and Assigned Journeys tabs. Personal journey templates of this category can't be created.
Guided Journey	To provide guidance, such as tutorials, company policies, and best practices in the context of an HCM flow using guided journey tasks. For example, tasks to help a line manager transfer an employee.	Journey templates of this category aren't displayed on the Explore tab. Journeys of this category can't be assigned. Journeys of this category aren't displayed on the My Journeys and Assigned Journeys tabs. Personal journey templates of this category can't be created.
