OTL/HXC - Adding Help Link to Self Service Time Entry (TcActivitiesPG)

Hello folks,
I'm a system analyst newly assigned to handling Oracle HR at my job. One thing I'm looking into is the possibility of adding a link to help documentation on our intranet (i.e. outside of Oracle) to the page where employees enter their time (using Self Service OTL). The problem is that no matter how much I look at personalizations for this page, I can't seem to track down a page element that could be used for that. I know there should be something, but I'm not having any luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? How would you add an arbitrary link at the top (or bottom) of the self service timecards?

We're in the process of upgrading to R12; is it possible to add or custom links through personalization there, or is it still something that can only be done via customization? (We can certainly do the latter, but were hoping for a solution that didn't require it.)

  • OTL Self Service Time Card to OTL Timekeeper

    Hi All,
    I'm new to the Oracle HRMS module and have a question. Can you update OTL Timekeeper with time cards from OTL Self Service? I did read a very brief, one or two line sentence in one of the implementation manuals that said you could. However, at this point, I have researched in vein and still cannot find any information as to how or what should be done.
    Any help is greatly appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Hi Gaurav,
    Sure.
    We would like to take the employee time cards being entered into the (OTL Self Service Time Entry) and once approved, have them automatically populate the OTL Timekeeper by employee. These employees are already defined in various Timekeeper groups. Once the supervisor opens up that group in Timekeeper they will be able to export those employee time records to an excel spreadsheet for further data manipulation. That's our end goal.
    The question I have is, how does the upload from (OTL Self Service Time Entry to OTL Timekeeper) happen?
    Does it happen once the employee time card has been approved?
    or
    Do you have to launch some type of concurrent job, etc?
    I just can't find that process answer and what if anything that needs to be done.
    Again, thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  • Enabling Help button in Self Service

    Hello,
    How do i enable Help button/link on self service. Please let me know.
    Its not available on all the pages.
    Thanks !

    Hi Rakesh,
    I am sorry. Previously I misunderstood your question.. I thought your losing whole global buttons in other pages. so please ignore it..
    Correct Answer: is
    If you want to enable the Help link in your page, you need to mention the Help Target property in your PageLayout Region.
    The Help Target must comply with the following syntax: <appShortName>_<packageFunctionalComponent>_<pageName> (for example, FND_tutorial_HelloWorldPG and FND_labsolutions_HelloWorldPG).

  • Removing links in Self-Service for My Employee

    Hi
    We are trying to implement BP ESS and MSS 1.0 on EP 7 and ECC 6.0. We have imported the source code into NWDI track and are able to make changes in the source code. Now our requirement is that we want to remove the link in "Self-Service for My Employee" under Related Activities iView. We couldnt find the application which shows this iView.
    Path: MSS -> Team -> General Information under Related Activities.
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Piyush.

    Hi Sharadha,
    I have already tried modifying that DC. But I am unable to find the exact component (view). When I tried executing the application through NWDS its not showing "Related Activities" area and links. Also when we log in with a user who doesnt have any MSS rights "To display data, first select an employee" is displayed. And for MSS user whose configuration is not complete in R/3 "No data available" is displayed. Can this be controlled from R/3?
    Regards,
    Piyush.

  • Oracle Self Service time

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me that how to have default into oracle self service time. For e.g suppose if i have not submitted time card from 6/12-6/18 then in the week of 6/19 - 6/25, I should see the timecard for 6/12-6/18 in oracle self service time not for 6/19-6/25

    Unless you are on R12.1, you can't control this value. If you are on 12.1, Default Timecard Period has been added to preference Self Service Timecard Period for a Worker, where the following options are available:
    Period on or after system date
    Earliest Period prior to system date
    Closest Period prior to system date

  • Self Service Time Customization

    Hi Friends
    I have a requirement to include an option button / listbox to show where the consultant worked. That is either onsite or offsite in Self Service Time Application. We are in 11.5.10 version.
    We dont have any descriptive flexfields in this HTML based application.
    How can i do this. ? Please suggest me
    Regards
    Rajkumar

    OTL Timecard selfservice pages are not true OA pages and are based out of LDT layout files. There are wrapper classes over OA beans and a custom rendering engine to render the timecards. There are still some references to AK and hence the corresponding changes. We can directly use LOV OA regions on 11.5.10+ instances along with the LDT changes, but I still won't suggest that.

  • Problems adding attribute via OID Self-Service Console

    I have added a new attribute via the Oracle Directory Manager tool, but when I map it to the Self-Service Console and select the Predefined List from the User Interface Type, and add the values to the list, only the last value will show up as many times as entries are in the list. For example, the list has the values Y N R, and when updating the value in the Console, the attributes list values are R R R.
    I have not found anything on Metalink indicating a bug. Has anybody have any experience with this problem?
    any help will be appreciated.
    thanks

    Please open a SR on this issue or open a bug.

  • Issue while adding Help Link using personalization

    Hi... i am adding a help links on all the iRec pages using personalization.
    Requirment:-
    Need to have a help link on all the pages of iRec at the left corner of the page
    So i made the following changes to do this...
    1. Created a new Region(This regios is shared by all the pages of iRec)
    StackLayout (AM set to deflaut value)
    |_
    RowLayout (Horz Align set to end)
    2. Now i go to the page, click on personalize link at top, and create a new Stack Layout Region below the PageLayoutRN for the Page
    and set the extend property of this StackLayout to my above create region.
    3. Create a new item under RowLayout, Item Type "Link" and set the destination URI for this link to say "http://google.com"
    I do the same steps above on all the pages of iRec and point the destination URI for the link to the one i want to set and all this is done at Site level.
    But the issue i am getting is that i am not able to see these personalizations for all the users and at some places the links i created are not clickable. They simply display on the page but cannot be clicked.
    Is there something i am doing wrong? so is there any step i did wrongly? Please let me know the solution.
    Thanks
    Sandeep

    It should not be show this behavior. one test you can do in this reference create Two more item at site level say MessageStyleText and one more link and check this behavior to all the user.

  • Adding login assistance to self service

    Hello,
    Is it possible to add features like user registration (which goes for approval) and login assistance (if I forget my password or username it can be emailed back to me). I was looking at the oracle page for the Global Fund for AIDS and I really like what they have achieved there.
    If you click on this link, http://www.theglobalfund.org/en/employment/
    then the "Login/Register - iRecruit System" link you will understand more clearly.
    Many Thanks,
    Igwe

    Silly me. It's funny how things can remain hidden for years if the font size is too small. The login assistance link has been there all along. It just sort of blended in and I never noticed it.

  • Adding comment in the OTL Timecard ( in both timekeeper entry & Self-Service)

    Hi all,
    I need to add a new comment field in the timecard (both the timekeeper entry page & the Timecard Self-Service page).
    I am going through the white paper "Configuring The Oracle Time and Labor Timecard User Interface" currently.
    what i understand is modifying the LDT file will allow me to add the desired comment in the TimeCard Self Service page, while I need it to be exist in the Timekeeper Entry page also.
    i should be able to enter the employee timecard with my comment in the new comment field using the timekeeper entry page and submit it for approval. The approver should be able to review and see my comment in the employee timecard self service page.
    what are the required steps to have the new comment field exist in both layouts?
    also, is it possible to add the comment not as a new column, can we add the field just beside the seeded comment in the Timekeeper Entry down beside the Select All/Deselect All button?
    Note: I am using the Payroll TimeCard Layout.
    Thanks for any help.

  • OTL Time Card issue in Self Service

    Hi All,
    I am working in OTL. I m new to this module. Currently i am facing the below issue.
    In OTL, there is a validation of project and task when user enters time card.
    Whenever user enters time cards against the hour type which is not of PTO (e.g. regular) etc, project number
    and project task should be mandatory.
    It is working fine in OTL Time Keeper, but not working in Self Service Time Card.
    I am analyzing the issue but not getting the exact solution for the same.
    Kindly reply me to resolve it.
    Thanks in Advance
