New User Experience

The product offers a new Redwood user experience. Highlights include the following:

  • A lilac theme for the toolbar and the sidebar was applied.
  • Fonts and spacing were adjusted.
  • The page action button area now includes one primary action button, with the other buttons included in an overflow menu.
  • Several system icons were adjusted to newer modern icons.
  • For portal based user interfaces, fields now show the label above the field.
  • Add/edit dialogs for portal based pages now use the drawer metaphor for displaying the window.

This is an opt-in experience. It may be set at the application level using a feature configuration option. In addition, individual users with appropriate security access can use a Switch UI View option in the user menu dropdown.

Redwood provides a more modern user experience and these updates make the product more consistent with other Oracle applications.

Steps to enable and configure

To enable and configure this feature, complete these steps:

  1. Navigate to Feature Configuration (via Admin Menu > General > Feature Configuration).
