Settings

Settings are used to configure features in Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition products.

There are two types of settings:

• Global settings: Settings that affect multiple Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition products.

• Product settings: Settings specific to an Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition product, for example, Recruiting, Career Section, Onboarding (Transitions), Performance, Reporting and Analytics.

The table shows where to find global settings and product settings.

Setting	Location
Global settings	Configuration > [Central Configuration] Settings
SmartOrg settings	Configuration > [SmartOrg] Settings
Recruiting settings	Configuration > [Recruiting] Settings
Career Section settings	Configuration > [Career Section] Settings
Onboarding (Transitions) settings	Configuration > [Onboarding (Transitions)] Settings
Performance settings	Configuration > [Performance] Settings
Reporting and Analytics settings	Configuration > [Reporting and Analytics] Settings

Settings are configured by system administrators. A default value is set prior to product delivery. System administrators can modify the value and the change will be applied throughout the product. Certain setting values can be changed by users. In that case, the value set by the user will override the value set by the system administrator.

A setting has one of the following security levels: Public, Protected, Private.

The table shows security levels of settings.

Security Level	Description
Public	System administrators can view and change the setting.
Protected	System administrators can view the setting, but changes can only be performed by Oracle.
Private	System administrators cannot view or change the setting. Only Oracle can view and change the setting.
