To view recent locations and manage favorites in Oracle Cloud, these options are generally available in areas like Self Service or Quick Actions where users can easily access commonly visited locations or tasks. This can include navigation to specific pages or business objects, such as frequently accessed employee records, reports, or setup pages.
Here’s how you can manage recent locations and favorites in Oracle Cloud:
Steps to View Recent Locations
1. Log in to Oracle Cloud
- Use your employee or administrator credentials to log in to Oracle Cloud.
2. Access the Navigator or Home Page
- Once logged in, navigate to your Home Page.
- Oracle Cloud typically keeps track of your recent locations under the Navigator menu, or in some cases, on your home page as Recent Items or Recent Pages.
3. View Recent Locations
- On the home page, look for a section labeled Recent Items or Recent Activities (this might appear differently depending on your version of Oracle Cloud).
- If you are using the Navigator, recent locations may appear at the top of the menu.
- This list will display your most recently accessed records, pages, tasks, or objects.
4. Open Recent Locations
- From the list of recent locations, click on any of the items to quickly return to that specific page or object.
Steps to Manage Favorites
1. Access a Page or Task
- Navigate to any frequently used page or task within Oracle Cloud that you want to save as a favorite.
- For example, if you often visit the Employee Profile or Manage Requisitions page, navigate to that page first.
2. Add a Page to Favorites
- While on the desired page, look for an ellipsis (three-dot) menu, gear icon, or Favorites icon. Depending on your Oracle Cloud version, this is typically found at the top-right corner of the page.
- Click on the Favorites icon or menu, and select “Add to Favorites”.
- You might be prompted to give the favorite a name to help you identify it later.
3. Access and Manage Favorites
- Once added, favorites can be accessed through the Navigator menu or directly on the home page by clicking on the Favorites option.
- To manage your favorites, click on the Favorites icon or menu again to view the list of all your saved items.
- From this list, you can:
- Reorder favorites by dragging them to your preferred sequence.
- Remove favorites by clicking on the remove/delete option next to the item.
- Rename a favorite by selecting the edit option.
4. Using Favorites
- Once a page is added to favorites, it will be listed under your Favorites menu, making it easy to navigate to that page directly, without searching for it each time.
Summary:
- Recent Locations: View your recent locations by accessing the Recent Items section or through the Navigator. This shows a list of pages or tasks you’ve recently visited.
- Manage Favorites: You can easily add, remove, or manage favorites by accessing the page or task, using the Favorites icon, and organizing them for easy access later.
This functionality helps streamline navigation and improve productivity by allowing users to quickly access their most important or frequently used pages.
