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.
- Click Navigator > Configuration > Appearance.
- Click
the Home Page Display tab.
- Select Yes for
News and Announcements and click Apply.
Create Announcements
- Click Navigator > Tools > Announcements.
- Click Create.
- Specify
the details, such as subject, start date, and end date.
- Select
a category. If you select User-Defined, a text box appears,
where you can provide more details.
- 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..
