R12.1.2 – User Interface Enhancements

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 by Barry Goodsell

Further to my previous article (E-Business Suite R12.1.2 now available) I would like to show you some of the improvements that have been made to the User Interface in R12.1.2. I say “User Interface”, as that is the term which I am used to using, but to be fashionable, the term is now “User Experience”, shortened to “UX”.

General UI Improvements

Favorites

As soon as you log in to R12.1.2 you will spot something new near the top of the screen, a “Favorites” drop-down menu.

If I add a few favourites this is what it looks like when you click on it:

This new drop-down is available on all web-based screens, which will make navigating to your most used screens that bit quicker.

Navigator

Once you have opened a web screen, another drop-down appears to the left of the Favorites drop-down.

The Navigator shows you all the Responsibilities and related Menus as a drop-down menu. Here you can see I am in the Employee Self Service Personal Actions screen, and I am using the Navigator to select the Reporting Pack List screen from the Projects SU Repsonsibility:

Favourites replace Bookmarks in My Oracle Support (formerly Metalink)

Friday, July 3rd, 2009 by Andy Coates

Like it or not, as of Aug-2009 Metalink disappears and My Oracle Support becomes the Oracle support portal (users currently have a choice of using “classic” Metalink or the new My Oracle Support interface).

One important thing to bear in mind is the dissapearance of Metalink “Bookmarks” which are being replaced by “Favourites” in My Oracle Support. All bookmarks that existed up to 21-SEP-2008 were migrated to favourites. However, this was a one-time-only conversion; it is my understanding that all bookmarks created since September will be lost come August. The only way to get around this is to recreate the bookmarks as favourites prior to the switch over.
