Managers can print talent profiles of their workers. They can also generate a comparison report of the talent profiles of their workers.

Configure the Print Profile Default XML Template, if Required

Oracle Succession Planning delivers the Single Person Profile Template (PEREMPTP) to print the talent profile of a worker.

You can create custom print profile templates based on your business requirements. Your custom print profile template must be based on the predefined Single Person Profile Template (PEREMPTP). Whenever you create a custom template to generate the Printable Profile (Full) report, you must set the custom template code as the value of the 'FullProfileTemplateCode' parameter value in the relevant Talent Profile launch function so that the application uses the custom print profile template.

To create and use a custom template of the Printable Profile (Full) report, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility.

2. Create a XML template based on the predefined PEREMPTP template. For example, name the custom template as Custom template for Talent Profile and code as PEREMPTPCUST.

3. Navigate to the Form Functions window using the System Administrator responsibility.

4. Query the relevant Talent Profile launch function to which you want to add the custom print profile template. For example, query the Talent Profile (HR_TALENTPROFILE_SS) function.

5. Click the Form tab. You view the existing parameter definitions.

6. Add the following parameter:

   FullProfileTemplateCode=PEREMPTPCUST

   Attention: The parameter value must be same as the code of the custom template that you created in the earlier step.

7. Save your work.

Configure the Compare Profile Default XML Templates, if Required

By default, managers can compare either two or three workers using the following predefined templates:

• Name: Talent Profile Comparison Report of 2 Employees

  Default File: PERCM2TP.rtf

  Code: PERCM2TP

• Name: Talent Profile Comparison Report of 3 Employees

  Default File: PERCM3TP.rtf

  Code: PERCM3TP

Oracle Succession Planning supplies the PERTPDDF data definition source file that contains all the data tags that compare profile templates use. To enable your managers to compare the profiles of more than two or three workers, you must create templates using the predefined data definition source. You must also create a new function with the same name as the template name and grant the function. You can create custom templates using Oracle XML Publisher. This enables managers to select the custom template when they compare profiles.
