Sneak Preview of Newsfeed UX

I've recently have a chance to get deeply involved with a new User Experience ("UX") rolling out in Oracle HCM Cloud 18B, due out later this year.  We're rolling out some pretty cool work.  I like it for a few reasons:

1. A fully responsive user interface - one code line that responds that provides the optimal UI for laptop/desktop, tablet and phone.
2. More emphasis on Quick Actions, giving users shortcuts directly to transactional pages rather than compelling them to navigate through an application
3. Redesigned self-service pages with full transactions being completed on a single page - no multi-click drill downs, no moving to another page via a hyperlink, no nothing.  Combining this with Quick Actions, navigation to a transaction is a single click...period.

In fact, I like this UX so much that I want to share...so let's take a sneak preview at what's coming by  sharing some screenshots.  When we started this effort within Oracle, the project was called "Mobile First".  So it only makes sense to show the mobile screen first:

And let's go to the desktop/laptop browser rendering next:

Now let's check out the redesigned Self-Service pages:

Note that the upper left shows some notes about the page design, the lower left depicts the rendering on a phone, and the right shows the appearance in a browser on a laptop/desktop.

So that's a quick taste of the Newsfeed UX coming out in HCM Cloud 18B.  Want to learn more?  Check out the briefing here.  Or hit me up on Twitter (@fteter) and we'll make some arrangements.  In fact if you're going to the OHUG 2018 conference, we can meet up there for a "live drive" demo.  Or you can always get to me by leaving a comment.

OHUG Solutions Central - Come See The Experts

Don't try to describe the ocean if you've never seen it
Don't ever forget that you just may wind up being wrong
                                     -  From Mañana by Jimmy Buffet

Having been in the enterprise software business for longer than I really care to admit, I've witnessed an awful lot of smoke blown up an awful lot of skirts.  Lots of people can talk the talk, but it's the rare few that can walk the walk.  So when I see an event where people in that latter class are gathering together, I tend to get pretty enthusiastic about it.

At the Oracle HR User Group ("OHUG") conference this year, Oracle and a select group of partners are getting together in a single location - Solutions Central.  Product experts from across Oracle HCM development to answer your questions.  Round-table discussion with Oracle experts and other customers.  The ever-popular Report Jam - bring your reporting needs and walk out with the report you need.  A demo theater focused on specific features and solutions.  1-to-1 discussions with the experts.

Now you can always drop into Solutions Central while you're attending the OHUG conference.  But the smart people, especially those wanting 1-to-1 discussions, will book a reservation ahead of time.  You can book yours anytime up to June 10th here.

The people in Solutions Central...we've seen the ocean:  whitecaps, hurricanes, the doldrums, the whole thing.  And we're itching to share what we've learned.

OHUG 2018.  Come join us.  And do come into Solutions Central.
