Login

Login Procedure

When users open the Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud (OTAC) solution, the User Sign In page is typically displayed.

On the Sign In page, users can select the language in which they want to use the application. If users change the default language on the Sign In page, the page is displayed in the new language and subsequent OTAC product pages are presented in that language. After selecting a language, users can also instruct the system to "remember" their selection so that the next time they sign in, the User Sign In page will be presented in the language they selected.

If single sign-on (SSO) is not enabled within an organization, users must enter a user name and password on the user Sign In page. The user name and password are provided by system administrators. Users can modify their password. If SSO was configured through a consulting engagement (which requires a statement of work (SOW)), the Sign In page is not displayed and the default language that was configured is used.

Once a user's credentials are accepted, the Welcome Center or table of contents page is displayed. The OTAC products available for use are dependent on which products were purchased by the organization and on the user's user type and permissions. If a user has permission to see only one OTAC product and the Display Welcome Center setting is set to "Yes", the product is displayed directly.

Accessing an Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud Application

You must have received a user name and password from your system administrator.

Select the language in which you want to use the application.
Enter your user name and password.
Click Sign In.

Using the Forgot Password Link

Several methods are available to create a new password if the current one was forgotten.

The two main methods to recover a password are via an access code and security questions.

With the access code method, users are asked to enter their user name and email address. An email containing an access code is then sent to the users and the latter are prompted to enter a new password.

With the security questions method, users are asked to answer security questions (between 1 and 3) whose answers they provided beforehand. If the answers are correct, the users are prompted to enter a new password.

Other methods used to replace a forgotten password are: a combination of access code and security questions; contacting the organization's system administrator.

Welcome Center

The Welcome Center is a home page that is displayed to users immediately after they log in. It provides a "one-click" access to Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud (OTAC) products.

The Welcome Center contains an auxiliary navigation bar, a core navigation bar, a Quick Access panel, and a central panel.

The auxiliary navigation bar contains links to additional resources such as the online help, setup, and the Sign Out link.
The core navigation bar is a set of tabs that provide direct links to OTAC products. A user might have a tab for any or all of the following products: Performance, Recruiting, Compensation, Oracle Business Intelligence, Learn, and Configuration.
The Quick Access panel provides an alternative "one-click" access to the same products available in the core navigation bar. It also provides access to modules within products for example, Onboarding (Transitions), Scheduling Center, and to specific content such as a requisitions and candidate files.
In the central panel, customers can put information of interest to all product users. Alternatively, they can create distinct sets of information and associate an information set with a configuration profile.

If the Welcome Center is enabled, it replaces the table of contents page.

Getting Help

Online Help

Taleo Onboarding (Transitions) offers comprehensive help on Onboarding (Transitions) concepts and the various tasks you'll perform while using the product.

Online help is available in the Resources list in the auxiliary navigation bar located at the top right-hand side of all pages. When you click the Help link, a list of available help topics is displayed in the Help panel. You can also search the help database for specific subjects by clicking the Search link at the top of the Help panel.

Release Notes Message

A pop-up message containing new release information, system improvements, important messages and other information can be displayed when users log into the product.

The same release notes message is displayed to users regardless of the product.

Once users are logged in, they can turn off the Release Notes message by selecting the Don't display this message again option. The message will then reappear only when new release information or other important information is available or if the users clear their browser cookies.

Deactivating the Release Notes Message

The release notes message must have been enabled.

Log into a product.
On the Release Notes page, select the "Don't display this message again" option.

The release notes message will no longer be displayed until new release information or other important information is available. If you want to see the release note information again before new released information is available, delete your browser cookies.

Languages

Taleo products are available in different optional languages.

Not all languages are available for all Taleo products and languages must be activated by the system administrator before they can be used in an application.

The preferred language of a user is set in the user’s account by the system administrator. The preferred language is used by the system as the default content language which is the same across all Taleo products. If a product does not support the same set of content languages, it will have its own preference configuration.

In Taleo applications, the languages in which an item is available are indicated in the Languages field. When creating or editing an item, the user can choose the base language as well as the languages in which an item will be available. The base language of an item is the item’s reference language, usually used as a reference for other languages or fallback display in list mode. The user’s preferred language is used as the default base language when the user creates an item. The base language of an item can be changed at any time by the user. A language must be activated before it can be designated as a base language.

When multiple languages are used for an item, the Earth icon is displayed. Hovering the mouse over the icon displays the languages activated for the item. When only one language is used for an item, the name of the language is displayed. When only one language is used in a company, there is no special indicator.

Activating a Language

The item must be in Edit mode.

Open the item that you want to make available in another language so its fields are in edit mode.
Select Configure next to the Language drop-down list.
On the Language Configuration page, select Active from the Status drop-down list for each required language.
Click Save.

Activated languages appear in the Language drop-down list of item.

Once a new language has been enabled, values for some related fields (most often Name) will need to be provided.

Selecting the Base Language

The item must be in Edit mode and the language must be active before it can be set as the base language.

Open an item.
Select Configure next to the Language drop-down list.
In the Language Configuration page, select the Base option for the desired language.
Set the language to Active if that is not already the case.
Click Save.

The word Base appears next to the language in the Language drop-down list of the item.

You will need to complete the required fields (usually the Name) in the new base language.

Application Time-out

A security feature warns users when the application has not been used for more than thirty minutes even if a user is still signed into the application. When the time-out delay is reached, a message notifies users that the time-out delay for the application is imminent.

Two scenarios are possible:

User takes action: When the application has been idled for thirty minutes, a message notifies the user that the application requires attention. Clicking "Access the application" directs the user to the application. When the user accesses the application, he/she can reset the application and a message indicates the remaining time before the session expires.
User does not take action: If the user does not reset the application within the defined delay, a message is displayed, indicating that the user has been signed out of the application and has to sign in again to use the application.

The time-out delay is set by default to thirty minutes. The reminder displayed before time-out is set by default to ten minutes before time-out.
