Oracle HRMS supports two versions of Info Online. The HR: KI Framework Version profile option value identifies the Info Online version.
If the system administrator sets the profile to Version 1, users can access:
RIA (Research Institute of America) through the user interface for some payroll forms
Authoria, a provider of health insurance and compensation information, through links on some Benefits self-service web pages
Metalink, Oracle's support web site, though the Info Online button from the user interface
If the system administrator sets the profile to Version 2, users can access:
Metalink and iLearning on self-service web pages in which the content container has been included
Transcentive through the menu link from the professional user interface and self-services pages, after completing the setup steps.
Enwisen through Oracle HRMS products after completing the setup steps
Any other information provider with whom your enterprise has an agreement.
Info Online Button on Oracle HRMS Windows
Once the system administrator enables the links between Oracle HRMS and the information provider pages, users access information provider web sites from the user interface by clicking the Info Online button on the Oracle HRMS toolbar, or by selecting Tools > Info Online from the menu (Shift+Control+F7). This button is enabled in windows for which information provider links have been configured and enabled.
Note: Shift+Control+F7 is the key sequence currently mapped to Function 7. Choose Help -> Keyboard on the menu to determine the actual key combination. The Oracle Forms Deployment Guide explains how to change this key assignment in the Oracle Terminal resource file fmrweb.res.
Clicking the Info Online button first opens a list of values, displaying a list of links to any information provider web sites that are enabled for the current window. When the user selects a value from the list, a browser window opens at the appropriate page.
If the user chooses the Info Online button from a window for which no links to information provider web sites are enabled, no list of values appears.
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 option allows users to compare results from different queries side by side, but the windows remain open until the user specifically closes them. When this option is unchecked, the page appears in the last browser window opened.
Info Online Content Container on the Oracle HRMS Products' Pages
Users access information provider web sites from the self-service web pages either through links on Benefits pages or through the Info Online content container. The list of applicable topics and providers appear alphabetically in the content container. See: Info Online Content Container
