Oracle Health Sciences My Oracle Bookmarks

This release introduces Oracle Health Bookmarks, a single dashboard to access all applications and studies that are secured using Oracle Life Sciences IAMS. If you decide to use Oracle Health Bookmarks, it will be available to all your users from the same URL and will replace the landing page.

About the interface

The main page of Oracle Health Bookmarks displays links to access applications and studies:

  • Application tiles: The top of the page displays a tile for each of your company's applications that has been defined and added by your Sponsor Administrator. Clicking a tile opens the application.
  • Study list: The remainder of the main page lists all SSO-enabled studies to which the logged in user has access. You can sort and filter the study list. The following details are available for each study:
    • Study name
    • Therapeutic area
    • Program

    Clicking the row for a study opens the study details page. You may see one or more buttons to access the study on this page, for Oracle InForm or Oracle InForm Testing. The buttons you see depend on the types that exist for the particular study and your privileges to access them.

Roles in Oracle Health Bookmarks

Users can have three types of roles for Oracle Health Bookmarks, with specific privileges:

  • Basic role: This is the main user role for Oracle Health Bookmarks and, if you want to use Oracle Health Bookmarks, you should assign it to all users in your organization. Users with this role can:
    • Access Oracle Health Bookmarks
    • View the application tiles for those applications where Site Access is turned on
    • View the study list
    • View the study details page for a study.
  • Sponsor User: This user can view all application tiles, regardless of their Site Access setting. Assign this role when you want the user to see all application tiles, including reporting applications or other tools that are not broadly used within your organization.

    To grant this additional privilege in Oracle Health Bookmarks to a user, assign the FNTD_BIZ_SERVICE_FD_SP_USER role to the user from Oracle Life Sciences IAMS Identity Self Service console.

  • Sponsor Administrator: This role is for users of sponsor organizations who manage the applications used to conduct clinical trials. Users with this role can perform high-level maintenance in Oracle Health Bookmarks:
    • Add and edit the company name
    • View all application tiles
    • Add, edit, or delete applications
    • Turn on or turn off Site Access for applications; this controls its availability to Site Users
    • Add or edit the description (visible on the study details page), therapeutic area, and program for existing studies
    • View the study details page.

    To grant these privileges to a user, assign the FNTD_BIZ_SERVICE_FD_SP_ADMIN role to the user from Oracle Life Sciences IAMS Identity Self Service console.

Getting started with Oracle Health Bookmarks

Oracle Health Bookmarks is open to any customer who uses Oracle Life Sciences IAMS for user provisioning. To start using it, perform the initial setup and then assign Oracle Health Bookmarks roles within your organization.

Initial setup:

  1. Ask your delegated administrator to create a Sponsor Administrator user for Oracle Health Bookmarks. The sponsor administrator can be the same user as the delegated administrator or a different user.

    To create a Sponsor Administrator, assign the basic role FNTD_BIZ_SERVICE and the application role FNTD_BIZ_SERVICE_FD_SP_ADMIN from Oracle Life Sciences IAMS Identity Self Service console. For instructions, see Assign one or more roles to the same user in the Oracle Life Sciences Identity and Access Management Service Administrator Guide.

  2. Log in to Oracle Health Bookmarks as the Sponsor Administrator by following the Oracle Life Sciences IAMS link provided in the email message you received when your account was created.

    If you no longer have the message, contact Oracle Support to request the Oracle Health Bookmarks link for your company.

    Because the basic role FNTD_BIZ_SERVICE is assigned to your account, you are now redirected to Oracle Health Bookmarks instead of the landing page.

  3. Set your company name. For instructions, click Help and watch the video Configure My Oracle Bookmarks.
  4. Add application tiles for your applications that use Oracle Life Sciences IAMS. You can also add application tiles for any other URLs that your users might need to access. For instructions, click Help and watch the video Configure My Oracle Bookmarks.

    If the application or URL should be available for all your users, turn Site Access on. If only Sponsor Users need the application, leave Site Access turned off.

  5. Your SSO studies will be available in the study list, if any. Edit each study to add a description, set a therapeutic area, and a program name. The therapeutic area and program name are used to filter the study list. For instructions, click Help and watch the video Configure My Oracle Bookmarks.

Assign Oracle Health Bookmarks roles

Your delegated administrator should assign the following roles so that users can access Oracle Health Bookmarks:

  1. Assign the basic role FNTD_BIZ_SERVICE to all users in your organization.
  2. Assign the sponsor user application role FNTD_BIZ_SERVICE_FD_SP_USER to those users who should see application tiles for which Site Access is turned off.
