Oracle Accessibility Conformance Report

VPAT® Version 2.5

Name of Product:

 Oracle Fusion HCM Journeys 26A

Product Description:

 

Oracle Fusion Applications are a suite of web-based enterprise software business products.  This ACR covers the HCM Journeys UI component within the Oracle Fusion HCM Central Components product, and also includes Oracle Fusion Checklist features related to Journeys.

We have multiple distinct implementations within Cloud HCM products.  One is for customers deploying the full solution, the Fusion Human Capital Management Base Cloud Service.  In addition, customers have also solely deployed the Fusion Talent Management Cloud Service, i.e as a stand-alone talent management solution, which includes only a subset of features of the HCM Base Cloud Service.  When a customer elects to deploy only Fusion Talent Management Cloud Service, then only a subset of the features contained within the Fusion Human Capital Management Base Cloud Service are also deployed, which may include the Journeys feature.  The HCM Base Cloud Journeys feature (aka Checklists) can be utilized to organize a set of sequential tasks.

This product application is mobile responsive. The new and redesigned HCM Responsive User Experience is available and promoted as our standard. The employee and manager self-service pages have been redesigned to look and behave the same on desktop and mobile devices, including iOS.

The responses to many of the technical standards are based on functionality provided by underlying technologies; please see the ACRs listed in the Dependent Products section for more information.
