Extend Procurement Redwood Application Pages Using Visual Builder Studio

Tailor a seamless experience for the users in your enterprise using Oracle's Visual Builder Studio (VB Studio). You can use business rules in VB Studio’s Express mode to:

• Make the fields and regions on a page required or optional
• Make the fields and regions on a page read-only or editable
• Show or hide fields and regions depending on specific criteria

The types of changes you can make to a page depend on the page you're modifying.

NOTE: In this update, business rules aren't yet supported on all Procurement Redwood pages.

To determine whether you can extend a specific page using VB Studio, go to the page and open the Setting and Actions menu. Look for the Edit Page In Visual Builder Studio task:

Settings and Actions menu

If you don’t see the Edit Page in Visual Builder Studio task, then you can’t use VB Studio to edit the page, either because you're not assigned the necessary privilege to edit pages in VB Studio, or because the page can't currently be edited in VB Studio..

When you open a page in VB Studio, use only the Express mode to extend the page. Advanced mode isn’t supported. If Express mode isn't available when you open the page in VB Studio, then you can't extend the page in VB Studio. You can find the Express mode in the VB Studio header region:

See Extending Oracle Cloud Applications in Visual Builder Studio Express Mode for details about how to extend your application pages in Express mode.

Steps to Enable

Leverage the Visual Builder Studio to expose your applications. To learn more about extending your application using Visual Builder, visit Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > Books > Configuration and Extension.

Before you can start working with VB Studio, a systems administrator must complete some initial setup. For instructions, see Set Up VB Studio to Extend Oracle Cloud Applications.

Tips And Considerations

Keep the Pages list closed while you work in VB Studio Express mode. Closing the list gives you a cleaner view of the page you’re extending.
