    Resource Administration

    The Resource Administration feature allows system administrators to display the ID associated to text appearing on pages of Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud (OTAC) products in order to modify the text.

    Each element of text also called resource, such as fields, buttons, tooltips, links, page titles and sections, has a unique ID associated to it. These IDs can be displayed in the application, in front of each resource, so users can precisely locate and identify a resource they need to modify or override in the application. If an "X" appears at the right of the resource ID, this means that the text was already overridden.

    The value of a resource can be composed of units, special characters, and letters. The resource value is not unique, therefore the same text can be used for different resources. Resource values can be modified and updated in the application by system administrators. To make a global change to the value of a resource for all zones, contact your Oracle representative.

    Example: The Save button can be used on several pages of the application. Each Save button appearing in the application will have a specific ID, and the value of every Save button will be text Save.

    Resource values can be refreshed. This enables system administrators to apply any changes made to the resource values for the customer's custom set of resources. System administrators can block the refresh of the resource value. This allows system administrators to use a testing environment where the actual value of a resource is either chosen or not. This is usually done while performing some temporary testing in a staging zone.

    With the exception of the Legacy Onboarding New Hire Portal, each product has a specific Resource Administration feature allowing the display of the product's resource IDs. The New Hire Portal Resource Administration is accessed from this URL: http://yourzonename/newhireportal/ResourceConsole.jss.
