Descriptive Flexfields for Performance Management

You can use descriptive flexfields to add company-defined attributes for a Performance Management entity, and define validation and display properties for them.

For example, you can create a descriptive flexfield for a performance document to ask employees if they’re willing to be a mentor. For more information on using flexfields for company-defined attributes, see the Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Configuring and Extending Applications guide.
