How You Review Lists of Values

The permitted values of many object attributes are defined in lists of values. Some lists of values are predefined and can't be updated in any way. Others contain some values, but you can also add your own.

In some cases, you can edit or remove predefined values. In Oracle HCM Cloud, lists of values are defined as lookup types. You're recommended to review the predefined lookup types and make any updates before you attempt to load data that uses them. You may have completed this process during implementation of Oracle HCM Cloud.

Reviewing Lookup Types

To manage lookup types, perform relevant tasks in the Setup and Maintenance work area. For example, the Workforce Information functional area contains tasks for managing many lookup types, including person lookups, termination lookups, document lookups, and checklist lookups. To manage person lookup types, perform the Manage Person Lookups task. On the Manage Person Lookups page, select a lookup type to edit. The list includes:

• Address types

• Contact relationships

• Ethnicity

• Highest education level

• Honors

• Marital status

• Military rank

• Phone types

• Religion

Ensure that the defined lookup values support the data that you're planning to load.
