Oracle Announcements & (Deep)links in them..

 

Oracle Cloud Announcements & Deeplinks

 

Oracle’s Announcements page comes handy to create, edit, or delete company announcements to the employees in a more user friendly way.

After you create announcements, you can enable them to display on the home page, and also specify which user roles can see specific announcements on the home page.

 Enable News and Announcements Section on the Home Page

Appearance work area determines whether to display the News and Announcements section on the home page. The News and Announcements section on the home page displays the announcement along with the subject and image.

  1. Click Navigator Configuration Appearance.
  2. Click the Home Page Display tab.
  3. Select Yes for News and Announcements and click Apply.

 Create Announcements

  1. Click Navigator Tools Announcements.
  2. Click Create.
  3. Specify the details, such as subject, start date, and end date.
  4. Select a category. If you select User-Defined, a text box appears, where you can provide more details.
  5. Select any of these options to upload an image. Make sure your image width is 950 to 975 px and height is 650 to 765 px to avoid image distortion.
    • Predefined: Select an image from the list.
    • File: Browse and select a file from your local computer.
    • URL: Enter a full URL for the image.

6.     From the Visible list, select any of these options:

o   Yes: The announcement appears on the home page.

o   No: The announcement doesn't appear on the home page.

o   EL Expression: The evaluation of the EL expression decides whether the announcement will appear on the home page for a specific user role.

If you've selected EL Expression from the Visibility list, click the Edit icon next to the list. Then enter a value or expression, and validate it to make sure that the EL expression results to True or False. For example, you can enter the EL expression in the #{securityContext.userInRole['<role-name>']} format.

7.     Add the content in the text box. You can format your text using the formatting options.

8.     Click Save and Close.

Your changes on the Announcements page apply immediately to all users, even if you saved your changes while a sandbox is active and not yet published.

 

Deep links in Announcement Body

We can use Deeplinks in the Announcement text to guide employees to navigate to the page of action if any. Like checking on Document Of Records etc

In this example, employee is given a notice to view their RTW document in the Document of Records.

Announcement Image can be seen customized as below.

 

Announcement Body can be easily built by typing text and inserting links in the

‘Rich Text Editing Mode’

 

More advanced changes in the HTML page can also be done in the ‘Source Code Editing Mode’

 

Here you can see that an External Link for Google.com is provided.

To add an external web link inside Oracle Cloud Console or SaaS announcements, use a standard HTML anchor tag with target="_blank" so the link opens safely in a new browser tab.

And.. This is how it shows up on Home page..
