Redwood Experience for Employment Start Dates Page

Enrich the user experience with the new Employment Start Dates page developed using the Redwood tool set. The flow is built from the ground up using Visual Builder Studio (VBS) to give you a unique experience of Oracle applications.

Using this page, you can easily make changes to the work relationship start date. You can also change the hire date for terminated workers and proposed start date for pending workers. The Employment Start Dates quick action is available under the My Team and My Client Groups tabs on the Home page.

You can specify only the new start date on the Dates info section. Additionally, you can also change the seniority dates while changing the start date if you're using V1 seniority dates.

You can attach document records and also view impacted assignments.

The new page offers a modern look and feel, and fewer clicks with better performance. You can take advantage of the cohesiveness through the application with the new page.

Steps to Enable

In order to work with the new Employment Start Dates page, you must first enable the ORA_HCM_VBCS_PWA_ENABLED profile option. In addition, check if the ORA_PER_EMP_START_DATES_REDWOOD_ENABLED profile option is also enabled. By default, the profile option is delivered as enabled. If you want to use the responsive Employment Start Dates page, you need to set the profile option to No.

To disable the profile option, navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area:

  1. Search for and click the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.
  2. Search for and select the profile option: ORA_PER_EMP_START_DATES_REDWOOD_ENABLED
  3. Select the Level as Site.
  4. Enter No in the Profile Value field.
  5. Click Save and Close.

Note: You also need to set these profile options to Y to search for a worker. If these profile options aren't enabled worker search won't work.
