I tried my hand at OAF personalization so I thought of giving a
walkthrough for all. I have put in a series of articles on OAF
personalization. In this article I have demonstrated how a field label
is changed.
Step 1: To personalize we need to enable the personalization links for OAF pages. You can refer to this article to see how to do this.
We shall use Oracle iExpenses responsibility to demonstrate the personalization process.
Login to Oracle and navigate to the iExpense page. Note that the Approver field is editable. We shall personalize this page to make this field non editable.
You should see the Personalization links are enabled if Step 1 has been completed.
Personalization steps
We can rename field labels within OAF pages using personalization. This is done to make the field labels represent business process as closely as possible
In this example we shall change the label of the field, Approver to Line Manager.
Login to Oracle and go to the iExpense page
Now the field is shown as Approver.
Click on the link Personalize “General Information Page”. It will take you to Personalization Structure page.
Select Complete View and scroll down so that you can view all the elements.
Click on the personalize icon for Name: Message Lov Input: Approver.
Now we will be taken to the Personalization properties page.
On the properties, Prompt, note that Original definition is shown as Approver. We need to change this to Line Manager.
We shall change the Name of Line Manager on the Function level.
Note that personalization can be done on the following levels,
By making the change on the Function level it will be visible to all users across the instance.
Click on Apply. You will be taken to Personalization Structure.
Notice that the field Message Lov Input has changed to Line Manager. This value was Approver earlier. Click on Return to Application button on the bottom left.
Now you can see that the field prompt has been changed to Line Manager from Approver.
