In this article, you will see the detailed step by step instruction for creating a new Self Service Human Resource data entry screen using configuration and personalizations.
To summarize, we need to create a Flexfield structure for data entry with four segments. Thereafter a custom function and a custom menu will be created to invoke the Special Information Type page. Our custom function will thereafter be personalized so that a dedicated screen is made available to the self service HRMS Users for this data entry. The custom AOL function will also be registered against the HRMS Global menu, so that it can be accessible from SSHR [Self Service HRMS].
First and foremost, identify the Key Flexfield to be configured
Navigate to Application developer responsibility and click menu Register
The main table that captures the data for Special Information Types has a Key Flexfield named PEA, that has title "Personal Analysis Flexfield"
Query the flexfield and create a new structure named "XXFOCUSTHREAD_COMPL_HOLIDAY"
Ensure that the desired flexfield checkboxes for Freeze and Allow Dynamic Inserts is enabled.
Create the desired segments. These segments will appear as data entry fields in the screen.
The value set selected here is of List Type Poplist, so that data entry screen will render a DropDown list for data entry
Freeze the flexfield
Now navigate to HRMS Manager responsibility and register your Flexfield structure by creating a new record in "Special Information Type" scree.
Create a new custom function named XXFOCUSTHREAD_SIT_COMPL_FUNC, with username "FocusThread Holiday Complaint"
This function will be based upon the standard function HR_SIT_SS, however we will change the references to the function, as shown in table below
| Field | Value |
| Function | XXFOCUSTHREAD_SIT_COMPL_FUNC |
| User Function Name | FocusThread Holiday Complaint |
| Type | SSWA jsp function |
| HTML Call | OA.jsp?akRegionCode=HR_CREATE_PROCESS_TOP_SS&akRegionApplicationId=800&OAFunc=XXFOCUSTHREAD_SIT_COMPL_FUNC |
| Parameters | pAMETranType=SSHRMS&pAMEAppId=800&pProcessName=HR_SIT_JSP_PRC&pItemType=HRSSA&pCalledFrom=XXFOCUSTHREAD_SIT_COMPL_FUNC&pPersonID=&pFromMenu=Y |
This custom function must be attached to the menu that is used by your responsibility
IMPORTANT - This custom AOL function must also be registered against the HR Global Menu, as shown below
Query on Menu =HR_GLOBAL_SS_FUNCTIONS_CUSTOM
Add Prompt="Complaint Holiday Rejection" and Function="FocusThread Holiday Complaint" to the HR Global Self Service Custom Menu
Add Prompt="Complaint Holiday Rejection" and Function="FocusThread Holiday Complaint" to the HR Global Self Service Custom Menu
Navigate to Functional Administrator responsibility and clear the cache
Now navigate to your responsibility, where you will be able to access your custom form.
However all the SIT flexfield structures will be displayed. In order to create the screen that is dedicated to our fields, for holiday complaints, we must personalize at Function Level.
During personalization, you will specify the segments that must be displayed
Click on personalize page link
Search for the Flexfield to be personalized.
Capture the list of segments that you wish to display in the summary screen
Return to the Application
This will show the screen dedicated to our flexfield structure. This screen will allow the end users to Delete/Update/Insert/View records against their person record.

I have a requirement to hide a segment from a flexfield and show another which is already defined in the flexfield. Now I came across your article and tried to personalize the page and as mentioned above but with no luck.
I only altered the 'Segment List' removing the old segment with the new segment at function level. The existing layout remains unchanged. Any suggestion would be of great help....

Hi Anil.
I was able to complete your Part 1 of the training. But in Part 2 I am not able to see the 'Personlize the Page' link in the page which opens from the custom Function created by me. Help will be appreciated.

Personalization Link
written by Anil Passi- , October 19, 2009
written by Anil Passi- , October 19, 2009
Hi Prashanth
Please set the following profile options
1. Personalize Self-Service Defn
2. FND: Personalization Region Link Enabled
Profile option values are usually cached, therefore I suggest you use Functional Administrator to set these profile options, as the changes done from profile option screen in Func Admin are immediately visible to the application.
Thanks

written by Murugesh_mds_onam , October 24, 2009
written by Murugesh_mds_onam , October 24, 2009
Hi Anil,
this artical is very useful. Thanks for your efforts . I understood from your article that we have to use segmentlist to enable the Flexfield in the self serivce. When I try to enable the Additional Qualification Flexfield in the Self Service can I follow the similar process of personalization . Apart from that if I want to enable more than one Additional Qualification Code in the Same segment list can I to use ';' to separate them. The code name is US CDL|segment1|Segment2 etc if I want the Canada CDL (Next Dff) in the same segment list is it to be separated by ; please advise
Thanks & Regards,

You should use WF Builder for timeout.
AME can simply plug into WF for notifications where timeouts can be configured

Hello Anil,
hope you are doing well. I have followed your exercises and it has greatly helped me to create and customize specific screens using Special Information Types.
I noticed that although I have personalized the screens as per your explanations, when I go to Special Information Types, I still find the structures and segments for which I have created different screens. Can you please advise as to how I can disable those structure and segments that I don't want to see.
Thanks and Regards

Of course you can personalize as many pages. I assume you have two different functions.
Please elaborate what you the second page isn't coming up, are you seeing a blank screen or some error .....
Try to run that page function without any function level personalization on that page

Martin- Yes this is possible on 11.5.10 too, infact even on 11.5.9
In order to implement entire series as in http://apps2fusion.com/apps-tr...s/ame-sshr you might need to be on AME.B which is not available on base 11.5.10

Segments Restriction based on the person
written by Basil , April 26, 2010
written by Basil , April 26, 2010
Thanks Anil for your hard work and great job in this article and others as well
I have created one request and this request is linked to SIT that have e.g. 15 segments, I want the requester to be able to enter only 5 segments, and the request will be sent for 2 approvers lets say (HR and Finance)
the HR: can see the segments (1-5) read only, and update the segments (6-10)
and the Finance: can see segments (1-10) read only, and update the segments (11-15)
i know that ($RO$) can be used to make the segment as read only, but how can i apply this on the other approvers. please advice.
Highly appreciated your corporation in advance

Hello working on some requirements/solutions for Oracle R12 OAB and SSHR for Benefits Enrollement purposes.
Could this process be used to configure and personalise SSHR to display the Flex Credit tally on each screen and show its value after the user hits recalculate button.
This way it would not be a customization and the users would get a running tally on each screen as changes are made instead of waiting until the end to submit and confirm.
