New Redwood Features in 24D: Overview for Oracle HCM Cloud

Oracle HCM Cloud's 24D release scheduled for November 2024, introduces several enhancements within the Redwood user experience, with a major new feature being the rollout of Auto-complete feature in Redwood. Here’s an overview of the key features being delivered in this update.

Key Features in Oracle HCM Cloud 24D

1. Auto-complete Functionality:

The Auto-complete feature has been enhanced through Autocomplete Rules, which allow for automatic population and validation of fields based on business processes, localizations, and company policies. This functionality is designed to improve data entry efficiency by reducing manual input errors and ensuring compliance with organizational standards. Autocomplete Rules can default values and validate information dynamically during guided flows or static setups, leveraging a Data Model Layer Extensibility framework.

2. Improved User Experience:

The Redwood UI continues to evolve with features that enhance navigation and usability. Centralized access to setup activities reduces navigation time, enabling faster task completion. Guided journeys assist new users in learning setup tasks quickly, while administrators can create tailored journeys for specific roles, enhancing the onboarding experience.

AI-Driven Enhancements:

AI capabilities are integrated into various modules, allowing HR administrators to define job profiles more effectively and generate feedback for performance evaluations based on collected data. This use of AI extends to goal management, where users can easily manage performance and development goals through a centralized interface.

4. Performance Management Updates:

The performance evaluation process has been streamlined with a new Evaluate Performance page that utilizes the Redwood Visual Builder Studio (VBS). Managers can now generate summary comments for employees using AI assistance, making evaluations more efficient and insightful.

5. Recruitment Enhancements:

The recruitment module features improvements such as automatic job category tiles on splash pages and a Job Fit Metrics Bar that provides candidates with insights into their qualifications relative to job requirements.

6. Dynamic Skills Framework:

The 24D release includes multi-language support for managing skills within the Item Catalog and improved search functionalities in the Skills Center, enhancing usability for organizations using the Dynamic Skills service.

7. Absence Management Improvements:

Users can upload only updated absence entitlement information into Payroll when changes are made through Oracle Time and Labor, optimizing data management processes

8. Reporting and Analytics Enhancements:

Enhanced reporting capabilities provide better access to transactional data and improved analytics tools that facilitate data-driven decision-making across HR functions.

Conclusion

The Oracle HCM Cloud 24D release brings significant enhancements focused on improving user experience through the Redwood UI, particularly with the introduction of Auto-complete functionality via Autocomplete Rules. These updates are designed to streamline workflows, leverage AI for better decision-making, and ensure compliance with organizational policies, ultimately enhancing productivity for HR professionals and employees alike.
