Skip initial draft and customize learning item number:

  • You can activate a self-paced learning directly from the create page, bypassing the need to first create a draft and then activate it. 
  • You can now specify your own learning item number, or leave the field blank to get the number generate automatically, as it currently does.

Note: Your own number can't contain any special characters, can't start with OLC, can't have any spaces, and needs to be unique in Oracle Learning.

Filter-related changes

    • For better control over content visibility, the Publish Period filter was replaced with two new filters, Visibility Start Range and Visibility End Range. 
    • The existing Qualification and Prerequisite filters were removed. Now, you can search for skills and qualifications used in a learning with the updated Skill filter.

    • The existing Publisher filter now exclusively applies to publishers and no longer includes providers.
    • To support more granular searches, several new filters were introduced, including Provider, Last Updated Date, Last Updated By, Created On, and Rating.

Result column changes

    • The Publish Start Date and Publish End Date result columns were renamed to Visibility Start Date and Visibility End Date.
    • The Qualification and Prerequisite result columns were removed, and a new Skill column was added to display skill-related and qualification-related details for the learning.
    • To give you more detailed insights into search results, new result columns are now available, including: Last Updated By, Last Updated Date, Completion Rule, Provider, and Rating.

Enhanced save search:

    • When you save a search, you can save the search criteria and the selected result columns for a more personalized and consistent search experience.

These enhancements give learning administrators greater flexibility in defining self-paced learning, setting their search criteria, filters, and result columns, leading to more efficient and focused catalog management.

Tips And Considerations

  • Requires that the self-paced learning experience be enabled. For more information, see the release 24D What's New feature Managing Self-Paced Learning Redwood Experience.
  • You can't create your own search view, but you can make changes to the delivered search view.
  • You can see the option to create assignments or initiatives only if you have the required functional privilege.
  • The Skill curation status and Skill curation type filters are applicable only to outcome skills center skills. They aren't applicable to prerequisites skills.
  • The Skill level filter is applicable only to Skill Center skills and competencies.
  • Accomplishments and nonskill center skills, including prerequisites, aren't supported by skill-related filters or in the corresponding result columns.
  • Use autoSuggestionsAdditionalAttribute in Visual Builder Studio, to replace the learning item number with any one of the following attributes: learningItemSubTypeMeaning, learningItemStatusMeaning, learningItemCreatedByDisplayName, or learningItemPublisherName. Write exact parameter names while configuring search suggestions using Visual Builder Studio.
