Understanding Oracle Cloud HCM Transaction Design Studio

The Transaction Design Studio is available within the HCM Experience Design Studio in its initial BETA phase. There are limited features and actions available to configure at this time. Transaction Design Studio It allows you create rules to configure transactions and pages in the responsive user designed pages. You can change how sections and fields are displayed, based on the user’s role and the employee’s business unit or legal employer. You can:

• Control the visibility of regions and sections on the page.
• Control the visibility for attributes within a page, region, or a section.
• Change the required status of optional attributes.
• Control the availability of the questionnaire page for actions that use the guided process design.

You can create one or more rules for any page available in the Transaction Design Studio to manage your business needs. For example:

• Make different fields visible and required in the new hire flow for employees in the US and employees in other countries.

• If employees in the US don’t get salary increases as part of a promotion, hide the salary and compensation regions for US employees only, while making these regions available for employees in other countries when being promoted.

• Hide the Ethnicity and Religion fields from the Personal Details page for countries or legal employers that you don’t want to store that information. You can still modify the person spotlight and upload images for pages that use the HCM landing page design.

BUSINESS VALUE OF TRANSACTION DESIGN STUDIO

Using Transaction Design Studio is easy. The design is like any other newly designed responsive page for a seamless experience. And when configuring a page or transaction, the sections and fields map directly to the user-facing page so you know exactly what you’re looking at and configuring. Once you save a rule, you can quickly test it by accessing the page from global search or quick actions to see the results of your configured rule. There’s no more guessing what part of the page you need to edit or needing to use complex EL expressions to vary the page as when using page composer. You don’t need a technical resource to create or maintain your rules, so as business rules change, your HR analyst can make the change themselves. Really complex business requirements may require you to use page composer, but in general, configuring your pages for different populations of employees is just a lot simpler now.
