Redwood Experience for Worker Unions

Enrich the user experience with the new Worker Unions pages developed using the Redwood toolset. The pages are built from the ground up using Visual Builder Studio (VBS) to give you a unique experience of Oracle applications.

You can search for a worker union based on the name or location. Filter on effective date, status, location name, country, and name. You can sort the search results based on name, and also export the search results.

The new pages offer fewer clicks and better performance. By using these new pages or flows, you can take advantage of the cohesiveness through the application.

Steps to Enable

In order to work with the new Worker Unions page, you must first enable the ORA_HCM_VBCS_PWA_ENABLED profile option. In addition, check if the ORA_PER_WORKER_UNIONS_REDWOOD_ENABLED profile option is also enabled. By default, the ORA_PER_WORKER_UNIONS_REDWOOD_ENABLED profile option is delivered as enabled. If you want to use the classic Worker Unions page, you need to set this profile option to No.

To disable the ORA_PER_WORKER_UNIONS_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_WORKER_UNIONS_REDWOOD_ENABLED.   
  3. Select the Level as Site.   
  4. Enter No in the Profile Value field.   
  5. Click Save and Close.

Tips And Considerations

  • Guided journeys are supported.

  • If the Default Effective Start Date in the Workforce Structures Configuration at the enterprise is provided, this value is used for the effective start date while creating a new worker union.

  • To display the flexfields on the Redwood page, you need to refresh and deploy them again. 

  • You can personalize this page using constants and business rules. For more information refer to the Extending HCM Redwood Applications Using Visual Builder Studio guide.
