Presentation: How to use the OA Framework Personalizations to Give Your Self-Service Applications a Custom Look and Feel
Speaker(s): Susan Behn, Solution Beacon, LLC

Carnegie Mellon University recently upgraded their applications from 11.0.3 to 11.5.10 CU2. One of the significant customizations they wanted to eliminate was their integration of the procurement card to Oracle Grants Accounting. While the procurement card transaction process is not integrated with Grants in 11.5.10, internet expenses is integrated, so they converted all their procurement cards to travel cards and used iExpenses to process their procurement card transactions.

CMU was already using Internet Expenses, (known as Expense Reporting in 11.0.3) to handle their travel-related expense reporting, so they made a few adaptations to give iExpenses a look and feel that would make their Procurement Card users feel at home. They changed the names of page headings, column headings, removed unwanted web links, hid some columns and moved some others around. They defaulted some information in some fields, changed button names, and hid other buttons.

All of this was done using personalizations by a functional user and no technical expertise was necessary.
