Sharon Winter, product manager at Oracle, shows us this informative presentation regarding some best practices for end users and citizen developers using JD Edwards EnterpriseOne UX One. If you’ve looked at our schedule for the 2018 Oracle COLLABORATE conference, you’ll find that UX One is a hot topic in technology today.
First, what is UX One?
UX One is a role-based software solution that enables users with role-based content; it also helps configure or personalize existing roles. It makes users more efficient and less dependent on the IT team to create new pages. UX One also provides data visualizations such as maps, charts and diagrams.
What do you need to get UX One?
Prerequisites to run JD Edwards EnterpriseOne UX One include:
- A minimum of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Application Release 9.2
- JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Release 9.2 Update
- Basic knowledge of which roles you want to use and what additional content you want to create
- All electronic software updates, user defined objects and application development framework components from UX One and all query in Change Assistant
- Two data packs are required — Security and Roles
Basic steps for configuring UX One
Winters also discusses the role of User Defined Objects within UX One. Broadly, UDOs (user defined objects) are objects users can create for their own use or to benefit other end users using the application.
Although there are many steps in between that Winter breaks down brilliantly in this presentation, if we have to get down to the basics, she says to follow these steps to configuring UX One.
- Install components
- Determine which roles you want to use
- Find additional content you need your citizen developers to create
- Assign security roles to users
- Promote applications and user defined objects
How do you navigate UX One?
First, let’s look at the licensing restrictions surrounding UX One as well as what to expect when you see it opened. Some of the delivered UX One pages use OneView reports, and customers receive a restricted-use license to use Watchlists and Analytics delivered in Pages.
Analytic Component Navigation is a new feature that gives you easy access to analyze every detail; you can drill down to all data or select within the context of your search.
Role-based solutions and updated formats
Helpful solution components in UX One include role-based landing pages, such as composed pages like Watchlists and Springboard; simplified forms, like Cafe One layouts and personal forms and a modernized user interface, including List View grid formats.
The middle section of UX One contains a combination of composed pages including Watchlists, Analytic Components and Springboard, as well as a variety of charts and graphs. The Watchlist pane is comprised of notification components.
The Analyze pane is where you find most of the charts and graphs. One brand new feature that the presenters love is the update that lets users create List View grid formats, which allows manipulation of data into a format that makes more sense.
