Introduction
In one of the previous article we have seen how to modify the look and feel of fusion applications (read complete article here ), but in case an individual user would like to change preferences like language, currency, date format ... etc. then we might make such changes too.
In this article we would try to explore the same.
Since we are trying to set-up preferences for a specific user we would login with a named user (Robert.Jackman) instead of the implementation user.
Once we click the submit button, this takes us to Fusion Applications Homepage:
Now on the top right-hand side we could see the name (‘Robert Jackman’) and just beside it is a drop down arrow which when clicked will show a popup menu and would have a hyperlink named ‘Set Preferences’ under the Personalization Menu.
Yup correctly assumed, we now need to click on the link and what appears on performing this action is:
On the left hand area we could clearly see the following regions:
-
Regional
This link has the following attribute fields (Tabular View)
Now we may change any/ all of the values displayed on this page, but we would take a look at that part post we go through all the links.
-
Language
Attributes like Default Language, Current Session Language and Display Name Language are the attribute fields which are present here:
-
Accessibility
This particular caters to attributes like accessibility, color contrast and font size.
And the corresponding screen looks as:
-
Password
This particular link takes the user to the ‘Password Management’ screen and is tightly coupled with ‘Oracle Identity Manager’. Usually every user is supposed to change his/her password after a specific period. The password policy rules are also displayed.
-
Proxies
Yes the proxy feature as the name suggests, where in some other user is given authority to login and he will have roles/responsibilities of the logged in user. We need to mention the start date and end date too (ensuring the time period until which the proxy user has the privileges)
-
Watchlist
This displays all the workareas / object/ processes for which an individual is interested to receive notifications. One may use check/un-check feature to enable/disable receipt of the same
-
Activity Stream Services
This is a preference where in individual can opt to be a participant of Activity streams related to specific interests like sports, music, books etc. This needs specific setup to be done and generally appears blank (unless explicitly programmed)
-
Oracle WebCenter Portal
This is a place where from user can interact with other applications via email, messaging, file transfers, activity streams, people connections:
And with this we have seen the features available on the ‘Set Preferences’ link.
We will now try to have a Worked Example of the same for clear understanding
Worked Example
As a worked example we would take the simplest feature and just try to change the language settings.
We will now change the Language from American English to German as shown
Once you click on the save button the texts would change to German Language and would appear as:
We could clearly see how the language settings have changed for this user in the same session and we didn’t have to undergo a system downtime, none of the users got effected nor did any of the background processes. Good so thus we are done with an example showcasing the personalization capabilities in Oracle Fusion Applications.
We would now end this article on the note that you all would try and use this features and explore more on similar lines.
Thank you for your time and have a nice day ahead!!
