Person Gallery and Portrait


Person Gallery Overview

The Person Gallery is a collection of portraits that incorporates three primary functions:

 Person search
 Worker self-service
 Line Manager self-service

A portrait comprises personal and employment information about a person; the type and
quantity of information in the portrait depend on the security access of the person
viewing the portrait.

Person Search
Person Search
The Person Gallery is equivalent to a corporate directory; users can search for any
worker in the enterprise. Search is controlled by the Public Person security profile. Any
user can see the public data of people who have been designated as public during
security implementation. For human resource specialists and line managers, more
detailed access is usually available to the records of subordinates or other people for
whom the user is responsible.

From the search results, the user can:

 Navigate to a person's portrait.


 View a graphical organization chart of a person.
 Initiate actions, such as change an address or transfer a worker. The available
actions depend on the security privileges of the user. For example, a line
manager can transfer a subordinate, but the transfer action is not available to a
worker's peers.

Maintaining Person Keywords


Several attributes of person, employment, and profile records are used as person-
search keywords.

How Person Keywords Are Maintained

Keyword values are copied automatically from the originating records to the
PER_KEYWORDS table, where they are indexed to improve search performance.
Whenever the value of a keyword attribute changes (for example, if a person acquires a
language skill or a new job), an event is raised. In response, services run a process to
update the relevant attributes for the person in the PER_KEYWORDS table; therefore,
most changes are made in PER_KEYWORDS immediately and automatically.

Update Person Search Keywords Process

Although most changes to the PER_KEYWORDS table are made automatically, you
need to run the Update Person Search Keywords process regularly because the
automatic process does not apply future-dated changes to the PER_KEYWORDS table.
Running the Update Person Search Keywords process also ensures that all changes
are copied to the PER_KEYWORDS table, despite any temporary failures of the
automatic process.

You can run the Update Person Search Keywords process manually or schedule it to
run at regular intervals. The likely volume and frequency of changes to person records
in your enterprise will determine how often you run the Update Person Search
Keywords process:

 If the volume and frequency are high, you need to schedule the process to run
frequently.

4 Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.


Error! No text of specified style in document. Error! No text of specified style in document.

 If the volume and frequency are low, running the process once a month is
recommended.

When you run the Update Person Search Keywords process, the whole
PER_KEYWORDS table is refreshed; therefore, you are recommended to run the
process at times of low activity to avoid performance problems.

Scheduling the Update Person Search Keywords Process


Use the Schedule Person Keyword Crawler task in the Setup and Maintenance work
area to schedule the Update Person Search Keywords process.

Scheduling the Process


The process is based on a job, which is the executable that determines what options
are available to you and what the process can do. You can submit the same process
using different parameters and other settings:

Schedule
The default schedule for a process is to run as soon as possible. If you select the
advanced mode in the Process Details dialog box, you can specify the exact dates and
times to run the process, or set the process to run at a specified interval within a date
range. If available, you can also select a saved schedule that your administrator has
defined.

Output
If you select the advanced mode in the Process Details dialog box, you can set more
output options.You can define one or more output documents, and specify the name,
layout, and format of each output document. You can optionally select delivery
destinations for the output document, for example to send the output to a particular
recipient through e-mail. For more details on the process output, see the help topic
Process Output: highlights.

Notification

You can select to receive an e-mail when the process ends, and also indicate which
users are notified if the process ends with a specified status.

Running the Update Person Search Keywords Process


Use the Run Person Keyword Crawler task in the Setup and Maintenance work area
to run the Update Person Search Keywords process. After you submit the process, you
can monitor it using the Scheduled Processes work area (Navigator - Tools - Scheduled
Processes):

Note: You can also schedule and run processes from the Scheduled Processes work
area. Most predefined processes are accessible from their own work areas or from the
Setup and Maintenance work area. Use the Scheduled Processes work area (Navigator
- Tools - Scheduled Processes) to schedule and run other generic processes that are
not accessible from their own work areas.

Person-Record Keyword Searches


The application searches for keyword values in these attributes of a person's records:
department, job name and code, position name and code, person name, primary e-mail,
primary phone, work location, competencies, language skills, licenses and certifications,
school education, awards and honors, affiliations, areas of interest, and areas of
expertise.

Access to Restricted Information

Access to information about a person's competencies, language skills, licenses and


certifications, school education, awards and honors, and affiliations is restricted to a
person's line managers. Restricted information is not searched and is never included in
search results when the searcher is not a line manager. However, if the match is found
in public information, such as areas of expertise, it appears in the search results for any
user.

Keyword Indexing

Keywords are indexed values, which means that they are copied from person records
and organized in the PER_KEYWORDS keywords table for fast retrieval. Most changes
to person records are copied as they occur to ensure that there is no difference
between the source and indexed values. However, depending on when the Update
Person Search Keywords process was last run, some recent changes to person records
may not appear in search results.

Search Relevance Profile Options


The search relevance profile options control how the strength of the relationship
between the searcher and the search result is calculated. The strength of the
relationship between the person performing a gallery search and each person whose
assignment appears in the search results can determine the order of the results: the
stronger the relationship, the closer to the top of the results an assignment appears. To
configure the profile options, use the Manage Person Search Relevance Profile Option
Values task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.

Weighting Profile Options


Using the weighting profile options, you can change the weighting applied to the
relevant factors. For example, the HR: Social Network Weight profile option specifies
the weighting applied to the relationship strength value for the social network factor. The
default value of each weighting profile option is 0.5. To increase the relevance of a
factor relative to other factors, you increase its weighting; to decrease its relevance, you
reduce its weighting. See the help topic Search Relevance Profile Options: Explained
for the complete list of weighting profile options.

Other Profile Options

 HR: Selection History Timeout: The number of times the searcher selects a
person's assignment from the search results during a specified period, which is 7
days by default, is recorded automatically. You can specify this period for the
enterprise on the HR: Selection History Timeout profile option

 HR: Maximum Hierarchy Proximity: When the searcher's primary assignment


is in the same organization, position, or manager hierarchy as a person's
assignment, the strength of the relationship depends on their proximity to each
other in the hierarchy. The maximum number of hierarchy boundaries to include
in the calculation is 4 by default. You can set this value for the enterprise on the

10 Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.


Error! No text of specified style in document. Error! No text of specified style in document.

HR: Maximum Hierarchy Proximity profile option.

 HR: Relationship Priority Factor: The searcher can specify a rating for a
search result, and each rating is associated with a multiplying factor. On this
profile option, you can specify the highest possible multiplying factor that can be
applied to a search result. By default, the multiplying factor is 2. If you increase
its value, you increase the significance of the searcher's own ratings relative to
other factors.

Line Manager Self-Service


The organization chart presents line managers with a hierarchical view of people in their
organizations. When line managers view the portraits of their direct and indirect reports,
they see more detailed information than is available in the public version of a worker's
portrait and can perform actions that are not available in the public portrait.

Manage Gallery Portrait Overview


Managing the gallery portrait includes:

 Configuring the public portrait


 Managing the portrait cards display
 Managing gallery administration messages

You can access the Manage Gallery Portrait task list from the Functional Setup
Manager using the navigation path:
Workforce Deployment > Define Common HCM Configuration > Define Workforce
Records > Manage Gallery Portrait

Manage Gallery Portrait Tasks


Configuring the public portrait
You can specify, for the enterprise, which portrait users can see some types of portrait
information by default. You can also specify whether users can change the settings in
their own portraits.

Managing the Portrait Cards Display


The Manage Portrait Display task is provided as a debugging tool for Oracle
Development to identify and resolve issues in the portrait cards. Customers should use
this task at the direction of Oracle Development only, and not use it to hide portrait
cards. Hiding cards or actions in the portrait is done through the creation of custom
duties and roles, which is discussed in detail in the Define Security for HCM lesson.

Managing Gallery Administration Messages


Calendar events identify dates, such as public holidays, on which the standard work
patterns of a workforce are likely to be disrupted. Calendar event messages appear in
the portraits of people affected by a calendar event. Custom gallery messages alert
portrait users to events other than calendar events that could affect worker availability.
The message appears in relevant portraits for the period that you specify.

Public-Portrait Settings
You can specify, for the enterprise, which portrait users can see some types of portrait
information by default. For example, you could allow all portrait users to see the social
network portrait card but only a person's managers to see the person's skills and
qualifications information. The portrait user's role determines the actions that the user
can take in a person's portrait.

You can share each type of portrait information by default with:

 My Managers
Anyone above the worker in the manager hierarchy can see the specified
portrait information.
 Connections
The worker's social connections can see the specified portrait information.
 Everyone
Anyone who can view the portrait can see the specified portrait information.

Allowing User Control of Portrait Settings


If you allow user control of any setting, then workers can update the setting from their
own portraits. For example, if you allow user control of the skills and qualifications entry,
then a person can prevent portrait users from seeing that information, regardless of your
default setting. To ensure that some portrait users, such as a person's managers,
always have access to particular information, do not allow user control of the portrait
setting for that information.

Including Calendar Event Messages in Portraits


Calendar events identify dates, such as public holidays, on which the standard work
patterns of a workforce are likely to be disrupted. When you select a calendar event
category, such as Public holiday, a message for each calendar event in that category
appears in relevant portraits for the duration of the event. How relevant portraits are
identified depends on whether you use work schedules:

 If you use work schedules, relevant portraits belong to people who have a
primary schedule or schedule assignment that includes the calendar event as an
exception.
 If you do not use work schedules, relevant portraits belong to people who are in
the locations or organizations associated with the calendar event.

For example, St. Stephen's Day is a public holiday in Germany but not in France or
India. If you select the public-holiday event category, this message would appear on St.
Stephen's Day in the portraits of workers in your German locations. The message
does not appear:

 For workers in the German locations whose primary schedule or schedule


assignment does not include this calendar event as an exception
 For workers in the French or Indian locations

Including Custom Gallery Messages in Portraits


Custom gallery messages alert portrait users to events other than calendar events that
could affect worker availability. For example, assume that your sales team has
relocated for two weeks while building works are completed. You want the following
message to appear in the portraits of the sales team for that period:

The sales team is currently working from building 370. Use mail stop 209. Phones are
unaffected.

When you create the message, you select the target department (sales) and the target
location (building 350). The message appears in the portraits of all workers who have at
least one active assignment in the sales department in building 350 during the specified
period. At the end of that period, the message disappears from portraits; however, you
can edit any component of the message at any time. For example, if the building work
takes longer than expected, or if it resumes later in the year, you can edit the message.

If the message applies to a hierarchy of departments, you select the target organization
hierarchy and, if appropriate, the top organization when creating the message. The
target organization hierarchy always identifies a department hierarchy. The priority
value, which is unique for the specified period, determines where the message appears
relative to other custom messages in the same portrait.
