Customization of Processes Using Page Properties

Functional administrators use page properties in Oracle Visual Builder Studio (VB Studio) to extend Redwood pages.

These page properties play a crucial role in extensibility and are used for various purposes, for example, for reordering tabs in Journeys, showing or hiding panels in Connections, or configuring guided journeys. The ability to write expression to conditionally render an element, such as displaying the person pronoun for specific roles only is supported in Express mode.

You can access the list of available page properties for a particular page by navigating to the Page Properties pane in the Designer. If the Page Properties pane displays the message "We didn't find any extendable page properties on this page", that means that HCM hasn’t yet delivered page properties for the page.

It's worth noting many page properties that have been already delivered across various Redwood pages ensuring a diverse range of options to tailor the application to your specific needs.

  • Adding your own content to a page or region
  • Configuring guided journeys
  • Enabling nudges
  • Controlling page elements such as sort by, tabs, and field display in some cases

Edit Layout in Express Mode

Dynamic Form and Dynamic Table

  • Don't use the Edit Layout feature in Dynamic Form or Dynamic Table in Express mode as it's not supported and may impact working of Business Rules.
  • Edit Layout in Dynamic Form and Dynamic Table will be disabled from Update 24D. Any changes made to the layout using this feature prior to Update 24C must be removed.

Rule Editor in Express Mode

Container Layout

  • If a Container Layout is available in Express mode for the page you want to personalize, use the Customer Connect forum to post queries and seek guidance before using the Rule Editor.

Approval Process for Business Rules Express Mode

  • Building rules in Business Rules editor doesn't require an approval from Oracle for this release as long as the implementation guidelines are followed.
  • The approval process may be reevaluated by Oracle as more capabilities are delivered in subsequent releases.

Rules from Autocomplete Rules Triggering in Redwood pages

  • The existing object validation rules with the error from Autocompletes Rules will continue to work in the Redwood pages, Change Salary and Document Records, listed above. This won't require modification in existing rules.
  • All rules for all other pages built on the underlying business objects for this page must be disabled when you enable the Redwood page. Note that disabling rules on a business object will disable Autocomplete for both the Redwood and Responsive pages.
  • Approval process for Autocomplete Rules in responsive UI is the same.
