The Manage Personalization Levels page is launched when you choose the Manage Levels button from the complete Page Hierarchy Personalization page or the Page Layout Personalization page. You can use the Manage Personalization Levels page to select existing personalizations to activate, inactive, copy, undo or delete. You can also launch from this page, tasks to manage the translation of your personalizations.
The Manage Personalization Levels page displays a table for each scope of the original page. For example, an original page might have three possible scopes: the Page itself, the OA Footer shared region, and the Notifications Worklist Function shared region. Shared regions are regions that can be shared among different pages. If you select a shared region as your scope when you set your personalization context, any personalizations you create get propagated to all occurrences of that shared region for the personalization level specified. If you select the page as your scope, then any personalizations you make are applied to just that local page. Refer to Per Instance versus Global Personalization for more details.
Each table lists all existing personalizations (also known as personalization documents), and identifies each by the level (function, localization, site, organization, responsibility, "Oracle-seeded user-level" or "admin-seeded user-level") and the layer (that is, the value at that level) for which the personalization was created. The following is an example of two distinct personalization documents:
Personalization Document A
Level: Responsibility
Layer (or Level Value): Framework ToolBox Tutorial Labs
Personalization Document B
Level: Responsibility
Layer (or Level Value): System Administrator
The table also identifies when a personalization was last updated and whether the personalization is active. You may select a personalization and use the Activate or Deactivate buttons to activate or deactivate the personalization.
If you wish to delete one or more personalizations, select the personalization(s) and choose Delete Personalization. Deleted personalizations are not recoverable.
Additional Information: "Oracle-seeded" and "admin-seeded" user-level personalizations cannot be deleted from this page. If you wish to delete seeded user-level personalizations, you can do so from the Personal Saved Searches page.
As of Release 12.2, you can copy a personalization document to multiple layers within the same personalization level by selecting the Copy icon for that personalization document. Prior to Release 12.2, to replicate a personalization document to different layers within the current personalization level, you have to manually recreate the personalization for each desired layer within that level.
The Copy icon launches the Copy Personalization page where you can copy the current personalization document to one or more layers within the current personalization level.
Warning: If you copy a personalization document to a layer that already contains an existing personalization document, that existing personalization document gets overwritten.
Note: You can not copy a Site level personalization document.
Note: You can only copy a personalization document from one layer to another within the same personalization level. For example, you can copy a responsibility-level personalization document to different responsibilities, but not to a different function or organization.
As of Release 12.2, to undo the personalization changes made within the current browser session for a specific personalization level and layer, you can select the Undo icon for that personalization document. Once the personalization changes are cleared, the Undo icon is disabled for that personalization document.
As of Release 12.2, to undo all personalization changes made within the current browser session, select the Undo All button.
Note: Only Administrator-Level personalizations, excluding "admin-seeded" user-level personalizations, can be undone.
Note: It is not possible to undo personalizations "up to a certain point" from the current browser session. Once you select Undo or Undo All, then all changes from the current browser session are reverted.
Note: If you make a personalization that causes an error in a page, use Undo or Undo All to revert back to the original state of the page prior to the current browser session. In previous releases, if you get a page error due to a personalization, you have to manually undo/delete each and every personalization or delete the personalization document.
In addition, as of Release 12.2, an Error page now displays a Personalize Previous Page link if the page in question has been personalized within the current browser session and the personalizations made in the current browser session have not been undone completely. Simply select the Personalize Previous Page link to navigate directly to the Manage Personalization Levels page where you can undo the personalization(s).
Select the Translate icon for a personalization if you want to translate the personalization to another language. The Translate icon launches the Translate page where you can translation your personalization inline. The Translate Column appears only if you have a language other than the base language installed on your system.
Additional Information: "Oracle-seeded" and "admin-seeded" user-level personalizations cannot be translated. The Translate icon is disabled for these personalizations.
If you wish to extract translation files for one or more personalizations, select the personalization(s) and choose Extract Translation File. This button navigates to the Extract Translation Files page, where you can specify the languages to extract.
Select a personalization and choose Upload Translations if you want to upload the translations of a personalization from XLIFF files. This button launches the Upload Translations page.
Once you are done making changes to the Manage Personalization Levels page, select Return to Personalization Structure.
