Resource Administration

The Resource Administration feature allows system administrators to display the ID associated to text appearing on pages of Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition 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.

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.

Changing Career Section Resources

Some commonly used career section resources can be overridden by a Career Section system administrator.

A resource that can be overridden by a system administrator is referred to in this guide as a user-defined label. User-defined labels can be changed in career sections, career portal pages, application flows, and application flow blocks. A user-defined label can contain up to 4,000 bytes.

Element Location
Career Section Configuration > [Career Section] Administration > Career Sections > Career Section Name > [Career Portal Pages] Edit User-defined Labels
Career Portal Page Configuration > [Career Section] Administration > Career Sections > Career Section Name > [Career Portal Pages] Click on a Career Portal Page > Edit User-defined labels
Application Flow Configuration > [Career Section] Administration > Application Flows > Application Flow > [Application Flow Properties] Edit User-defined Labels
Application Flow Block Configuration > [Career Section] Administration > Application Flows > Application Flow > Block Name > Edit User-defined Labels

To see if a resource can be changed manually, system administrators must display the resource identifiers and then view the career section.

In the Career Portal Page Field Identification Number table located in the Appendix, locate the ID number of the field you want to edit, then navigate to the career portal page using the path displayed in the PATH column.

Note: Application flow user-defined labels – any label changes made to the JobSubmissionPrivacyAgreemenResources resource group (Configuration > [Career Section] Administration > Application Flows > application flow) > Edit User-defined Labels) will only affect the privacy statement displayed at the beginning of the job submission process.
