Oracle Fusion Profile Management Components: How They Work Together

You can configure Oracle Fusion Profile Management to meet your business requirements using these components: the content library, profiles and profile types, content subscribers, educational establishments, instance qualifier sets, and rating models.

Note:

If you are still using Classic Talent Profiles, you should upgrade to Enhanced Talent Profiles before release 21A.

In the Enhanced Talent Profiles feature, the display of the person profile and talent ratings has a more engaging and responsive interface design. The new user experience enables features to be presented on both mobile and web pages. The interfaces are simple, intuitive and are written in a more conversational language.

The administration enhancements provide increased product performance and extensibility. The enhanced solution introduces content templates that represent the talent content (for example, Competencies, Certificates, Skills, and Awards) required to support the Oracle Talent Management Suite. Each content template includes unique attributes. These content templates can be used and reused to create the content sections necessary to capture talent data. The templates can be used to design both person and model talent profiles.

This figure illustrates how the components of Profile Management fit together.
Content library includes the Competencies content type including content items Communication, Leadership, and Customer Focus, the Languages content type including content items French Spanish, and Japanese, and the Degrees content type including content items including Master of Science, Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts. Content subscribers, rating models, educational establishments, and instance qualifier sets all connect to the content library. The person and job profile types are built from content types in the content library. The person profile for Susan Rodgers is built using the person profile type and includes Communication, French, and Master of Science. The job profile of the Applications Developer is built using the job profile type and includes Communication, Spanish, and Master of Science.

Content Library

The content library provides the foundation for profiles as it stores both content types and content items.

Profile Types

Profile types are templates that you use to create profiles. Profile types determine:

  • Whether the profile is for a person or for a workforce structure such as a job or a position.

  • The content of the profile.

You select content types from the content library to create content sections for the profile type.

Profiles

You create person profiles for individual workers and model profiles for workforce structures, such as jobs or positions. The profile type that you select for the model profile determines the information that you complete for the profile. For example, a person profile might contain information about a person's education, language skills, competencies, and activities and interests. A job profile might contain information about the requirements for the job, such as competencies, language skills, degrees, or certifications.

Content Subscribers

Content subscribers are applications external to Profile Management that use content types.

Educational Establishments

You can define educational establishments to enable workers to add education information, such as degrees, to their profile.

Instance Qualifier Sets

You assign instance qualifiers to content types. Instance qualifier sets uniquely identify multiple instances of a content item on a profile. For example, if multiple people update a performance rating for a competency on a worker's profile, instance qualifiers provide a unique identifier to each instance of the competency. The unique identifier enables you to determine who provided each rating.

Rating Models

When you create content types in the content library, you can attach rating models to determine the scale for measuring performance and proficiency. You can also use rating models to measure the risk and impact of loss for workers, and to measure their potential.
