One of your ideas has been delivered from your suggestion.Redwood Experience for Grade Rates

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

You can search for a grade rate based on the name. Filter on attributes such as legislative data group, frequency, and currency. In this example, the results are filtered to show grade rates that contain the ANALYST1 grade. You can sort by grade rate name and also export the search results.

Click the grade rate name to open the details page. You can update, correct, delete the date-effective record, and delete the entire grade rate from this page. Also, you can view the history of changes.

To help identify the correct row when you reuse grade names across grade codes or sets, we added columns for Grade Code and Grade Set to the Grade rate values table.

Steps to Enable

In order to work with the new Grade Rates page, you must first enable the ORA_HCM_VBCS_PWA_ENABLED profile option. In addition, check if the ORA_PER_GRADE_RATES_REDWOOD_ENABLED profile option is also enabled.

By default, the ORA_PER_GRADE_RATES_REDWOOD_ENABLED profile option is delivered as disabled. If you want to use the new Grade Rates page, you need to set the profile option to Yes.

To enable the ORA_PER_GRADE_RATES_REDWOOD_ENABLED 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_GRADE_RATES_REDWOOD_ENABLED.
  3. Select the Level as Site.
  4. Enter Yes in the Profile Value field.
  5. Click Save and Close.
