Authoria HR uses a common knowledge repository to manage and communicate HR and benefits information. You can configure context-sensitive access between Oracle HRMS and Authoria HR. End users can follow links from the user interface windows and self-service pages to display Authoria HR documentation directly related to the record they are working with.
This feature is available for US and UK legislations.
Note: Info Online was previously known as the Knowledge Integrator.
Integration with Authoria HR is enabled for the following Oracle Standard and Advanced Benefits windows:
View Enrollment Results window (BENDSPER)
View Participation Information window (BENDISPL)
Flex Program window (BENEFXEB)
Non-Flex Program window (BENENFEB)
Savings Plan window (BENESPEB)
Miscellaneous Plan window (BENEMSEB)
Person Life Events window (BENDSPLE)
Integration is also enabled for the following self-service pages:
Benefits Enrollment Overview page (BEN_ENRL_OVERVIEW_PAGE)
Current Benefits page (BEN_CURR_OVW_PAGE)
Confirmation page (BEN_ENRL_CONF_PAGE)
Benefits Selection page (BEN_ENRT_SELECTION_PAGE)
Access to Authoria HR is available in user interface windows from the Info Online button on the toolbar or the Info Online option on the Tools menu (Shift+Control+F7).
When a user chooses the Info Online button in one of the windows in which the feature is enabled, a list of values appears, listing the pages in the Authoria HR system applicable to the current context. If other Information Provider links have been enabled, these are also displayed. When the user selects an Authoria link from the list of values, a browser window opens at the appropriate Authoria HR page.
Users can control the behavior of the Info Online button using the Open in New Window option on the Tools menu. When this option is checked, each new search opens in a new browser window. This allows users to compare results from different queries side by side, but they must close each window when finished. When this option is unchecked, the the last browser window that was opened is used to display the Authoria HR page.
From the self-service interface, access to Authoria HR is via hypertext links in the Oracle Standard and Advanced Benefits pages. The links appear only when there is a mapping between the page and a page in the Authoria HR system. When a user clicks on a link, a new browser window opens and displays the page from the Authoria HR system applicable to the current context.
