3How do I recreate personalizations in the Redwood user experience?

You'll use Visual Builder Studio Express to recreate page personalizations in the Redwood user experience. It's the next generation extension tool for HCM Redwood pages, replacing Page Composer, Transaction Design Studio, and autocomplete rules.

As part of your Oracle Cloud Applications subscription, we provision an instance of VB Studio for each of your nonproduction environments. You can use the same platform that our developers use to create pages, applications, and extend delivered pages. HCM supports extending delivered Redwood pages in VB Studio Express mode only, using business rules and constants.

What's the process to recreate personalizations in Visual Builder Studio Express?

First, you'll need to Inventory your Redwood page personalizations. The inventory list shows which of your enabled pages have personalizations and which ones the Redwood Personalization Helper tool can convert. Then, you'll follow these steps:

1. Set up Visual Builder to extend Oracle Cloud Applications in a test environment.
2. Create a simple extension for HCM.
3. Recreate your personalizations. See the Examples of HCM Visual Builder extensions section.
4. Preview your changes in Visual Builder Studio Express to view page behavior with an extension.
5. Share your extensions so others can test your work.
6. Publish your extension so that it's available in the main Git repository.
7. Deploy your extensions to your production environment.
