Redwood: Time-Based Autosave in Redwood Performance Documents and All-in-One Evaluations

You can now leverage the time-based autosave for performance documents. Comments and questionnaire responses entered during evaluation tasks are autosaved in Redwood performance documents and in All-in-One Evaluations. This is because autosave is only needed for comments and questionnaires as other changes to ratings are saved as the user navigates around the performance document.

Business benefit: This feature enables you to preserve in-progress content and provides a more reliable evaluation experience.

Steps to enable and configure

You need to configure the profile options for Redwood performance documents as indicated in the following table.

Profile Option Code Description Value
ORA_HCM_VBCS_PWA_ENABLED Enable VBCS Progressive Web Application User Interface

Y
ORA_HRA_PERFORMANCE_DOCUMENTS_AND_GOALS_
REDWOOD_ENABLED		 Enable performance documents and employee performance and development goals to display in Redwood. Yes

Configure the following profile option to control the autosave interval:

Profile Option Code Description Value

3.    Under the Common Properties category, set the page property that controls the time-based autosave counter on the performance document page.
4.    Set the autosave interval using the existing profile option HRA_PERF_AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL 

Page Property Description
Control Time-Based Autosave Counter on the Performance Document Page This property controls the number of times the autosave counter can be initiated on the performance document page. The default value is 0 and can be set to a maximum of 15.

Tips and considerations

  • Time-based autosave applies to evaluation tasks on the performance document page.
  • The timestamp appears only for worker self-evaluation, manager evaluation, and participant feedback tasks.
  • The timestamp uses the date format defined in the user’s preferences.
  • Autosave is triggered only up to the maximum number of times configured in the page property. Content entered after the final autosave and before the next manual or system save isn’t preserved if the session ends unexpectedly
