The OGL Console
The Oracle Guided Learning provides a simple, user-friendly interface that lets you easily navigate the features. The user interface is organized into pages and features that help you accomplish your tasks. Additionally, we have incorporated OGL onto your OGL console (OGL-On-OGL) to help orient you to the user interface and to provide guidance on navigating the console.
The Redwood Theme
Redwood is the name of the approach to our next-generation product and communication design, user experience platform, and brand design system. While it’s not the only manifestation of the changes we’re making, it’s perhaps the most visible. Redwood is at the core of our express goal: getting customers to fall in love with Oracle one interaction at a time. This is just the beginning. Redwood is a living thing, and all of us are going to help it evolve and improve in the coming months and years.
Redwood is the recommended theme for all Oracle Applications. OGL content is best presented in the Redwood theme and is optimized for Oracle Fusion applications that also apply the Redwood theme.
