Benefit from Redwood Additional Person Information Approval Support

The Change Personal Information approval rule has been enhanced to include a new subcategory for Additional Person Info specific to the Redwood Additional Person Info page. This subcategory will be delivered as set to Bypass ready-to-use, even if the Change Person Information rule isn't set to Bypass. This will allow you to configure this feature based on your approval requirements. The approval rule includes both current and proposed values of each flexfield segment that can be used for evaluation in the approval rule. If you want to apply an approval rule, you will need to configure the Change Person Information approval according to your requirement.

Change Personal Information: Additional Person Info Approval Rule

This enhancement gives you more control over whether to have an approval rule for changes made to the data on the Redwood Additional Person Info page.

Steps to Enable

You must first enable the ORA_PER_ADDITIONAL_PERSONAL_INFO_REDWOOD_ENABLED profile option for the Redwood Additional Person Info page.  

To enable 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 ORA_PER_ADDITIONAL_PERSONAL_INFO_REDWOOD_ENABLED profile option.
  3. Select the Level as Site.
  4. In the Profile Value field, enter Yes.
  5. Click Save and Close.

NOTE: You must also configure the Change Personal Information approval rule based on your requirement. For more information about configuring approval rules, see the links in the Key Resources section.

Tips And Considerations

  • This new approval rule doesn't apply to the Responsive Additional Person Info page. So, if the Responsive Additional Person Information page is used, those transactions won't be sent for approval even if the Change Personal Information approval is configured.
  • During your testing, it's important that all approvals are completed before switching the Redwood profile option ORA_PER_ADDITIONAL_PERSONAL_INFO_REDWOOD_ENABLED to Yes or No. The reason is that there can be unexpected results with using both the Redwood and Responsive pages when there are pending approvals.
