Introduction
The purpose of this document is to facilitate the functions of the ADMM Human
Resources staff with a simple step-by-step guide to all the essential functionality of
the Oracle HRMS product.
Although this manual is by no means comprehensive in the scope of the
functionality, it does cover the core functionality relevant from an end user
perspective.
8. 1. Starting Oracle applications
ADMM / IDS page 8
1.1 SOA Overview
This section introduces you to Oracle Applications, and it covers the following core
aspects:
1. What do you need to start oracle Applications
2. Starting and Logging On
3. Choosing a Responsibility
4. Opening a Form from the Navigator Window
5. Using the Navigator’s Functions Region
6. Toolbar
7. Using the Top Ten List
8. Getting Help
9. Searching for Help
10. To exit Oracle Applications
9. ADMM / IDS page 9
1.2 SOA to start Oracle
Applications, you need
to:
Start up your computer system
Start your Web Browser
Start the Oracle Applications program
Log on to Oracle Applications
Choose a responsibility (if necessary)
Navigate to an application window
10. ADMM / IDS page 10
1.3 SOA Starting and
Logging On
Depending on how your system administrator has configured your system, you may
be able to log on in one of two ways. In either case, the first step in starting Oracle
Applications is to enter the appropriate URL for your site in an Oracle Applications
certified browser.
After starting Oracle Applications, the first window you see is the sign–on window.
You need an Oracle Applications username and password, also known as an Oracle
Applications sign–on, to log on to Oracle Applications. It is different from the
username and password you use to log on to your computer. If you are not sure of
your Oracle Applications sign–on, consult your system administrator.
To log on to Oracle Applications:
1. Enter your username in the User Name
field. Attention: Do not press [Enter]
after entering each item, as [Enter] is
normally used to accept the default
button. Instead, use [Tab] or the mouse to
navigate between fields.
2. Enter your password in the Password
field.
3. Choose Connect. Notice your password
does not appear as you type it, to prevent
others from seeing it. Keep your password
4. confidential to prevent access to Oracle
Applications by unauthorized users.
11. ADMM / IDS page 11
1.4 SOA Choosing a
Responsibility
A responsibility is a level of authority in Oracle Applications that lets you access
only those Oracle Applications functions and data appropriate to fulfill your role in
an organization. Each responsibility allows access to:
If you are an authorized user of Oracle Applications, one of two things occurs after
you sign on to Oracle Applications:
The Navigate window appears listing your current
responsibility in the window title.
A window containing a list of responsibilities appears.
Each user has at least one responsibility and several users can share the same
responsibility. You will see a link for each responsibility assigned to you. If your
system administrator assigns you just one responsibility, you will see a link only for
that responsibility.
12. 1.5 SOA Opening a Form
from the Navigator
Window
Use the Navigator window to navigate to a form that lets you perform a specific
business flow. The Navigator window is always present during your session of
Oracle Applications and displays the name of your current responsibility in its
window title.
ADMM / IDS page 12
13. ADMM / IDS page 13
1.6 SOA Using the
Navigator’s Functions
Region
The forms that you can navigate to are displayed in a navigation list on the left–
hand side of the Navigate window. The navigation list is organized much like the
hierarchy of a file system, where you can expand items that begin with a plus sign
(+) to further sub–levels until you find your form of interest. Sub–levels appear
indented below the items from which they are expanded. Items that are expanded
are preceded by a minus sign (–). You can expand no further when an item
displays neither a plus or minus sign. Above the navigation list, you should see two
fields that span the width of the window. These two fields help you identify your
selection. The top field displays the name of the item currently selected, while the
bottom field displays a description of that item.
To expand or collapse the navigation list:
1. Choose one of the following methods to expand an expandable item to its
next sub–level:
Double–click on the item.
Select the item and choose Open.
Select the item and choose the Expand button.
2. Choose one of the following methods to collapse an expanded item:
Double–click on the item.
Select the item and choose the Collapse button.
3. To expand or collapse several items at once, choose one of the following
buttons:
Expand All Children—expand all the sub–levels of the
currently selected item
Expand All—expand all the sub–levels of all
expandable items in the navigation list
Collapse All—collapses all currently expanded items in
the navigation list
To open a form from the navigation list:
1. Select your form of interest..
2. Choose Open.
14. Suggestion: Alternatively, you can double–click directly on the form of interest to
open it. However, do not double–click on the Open button. All buttons require only
a single click to activate; using a double click will activate the action twice.
To open a form using an LOV window:
1. Use the keyboard shortcut (usually Ctrl L) to open the LOV (List of
ADMM / IDS page 14
Values) window.
2. Select the form from the list and choose OK or first reduce the list by
entering a partial form title.
15. ADMM / IDS page 15
1.7 SOA Toolbar
The toolbar is a collection of iconic buttons, where each button performs a specific
action when you choose it. Each toolbar button replicates a commonly-used menu
item. Depending on the context of the current field or window, a toolbar button can
be enabled or disabled. You can display help for an enabled toolbar button by
holding your mouse over the button.
The toolbar buttons and the actions they perform are as follows:
The New icon opens a new record in the active form.
The Find... icon displays the Find window to retrieve records.
The Show Navigator icon displays the Navigator window.
The Save icon saves any pending changes in the active form.
The Next Step icon updates the Process workflow in the Navigator by
advancing to the next step in the process.
The Print... icon prints the current screen that the cursor is in. In some cases
it may print a report associated with the current data.
The Close Form icon closes all windows of the current form.
The Cut icon cuts the current selection to the clipboard.
The Copy icon copies current selection to the clipboard.
The Paste icon pastes from the clipboard into the current field.
The Clear Record icon erases the current record from the window.
The Delete icon deletes the current record from the database.
The Edit Field... icon displays the Editor window for the current field.
16. The Zoom icon invokes customer-defined Zoom (drill-down behavior).
The Translations... icon invokes the Translations window.
The Attachments... icon invokes the Attachments window. If one or more
attachments already exist, the icon changes to a paper clip on a piece of
paper.
The Folder Tools icon displays the folder tool palette.
The Window Help - icon displays help for the current window.
ADMM / IDS page 16
17. 1.8 SOA Using the Top Ten
ADMM / IDS page 17
List
If there are forms that you use frequently, you can copy them over to a navigation
top ten list located on the right–hand side of the Navigate window. The top ten list
displays your forms numerically so you can choose them instantly without having to
search for them in the navigation list. You can add a maximum of ten forms to the
top ten list and you can create a different top ten list for each responsibility you
have access to.
Note: A top ten list is unique for the responsibility and user sign–on combination
you use.
To create a navigation top ten list:
1. Select a frequently used form from the navigation list.
2. Choose the arrow pointing to the Top Ten List.
3. The form now appears in the navigation top ten list preceded by a top ten
list number.
4. If you wish to remove a form from the top ten list, select that form in the
top ten list and choose arrow pointing away from the Top Ten List.
To open a form from the navigation top ten list:
Type the top ten list number that precedes the form you want to open. You can
also select the form you want and choose Open, or double–click on the form name.
Notice that the name and description of that form also appear in the current
selection fields above the navigation list.
18. ADMM / IDS page 18
1.9 SOA Getting Help
1.9.1 Introduction
Oracle Applications provides you with a complete online help facility.
Whenever you need assistance, simply choose an item from the Help
menu to pinpoint the type of information you want.
1.9.2 To display help for a current
window:

on the toolbar, or hold down the Control key and type
’h’..Example 1 – 30 Oracle Applications User’s Guide A web
browser window appears, containing search and navigation
frames on the left, and a frame that displays help documents on
the right. The document frame provides information on the
window containing the cursor. The navigation frame displays the
top–level topics for your responsibility, arranged in a tree control.
19. 2. If the document frame contains a list of topics associated with the
window, click on a topic of interest to display more detailed
information.
3. You can navigate to other topics of interest in the help system, or
choose Close from your web browser’s File menu to close help.
Suppose you are using Oracle General Ledger and are in the Define Budget
Organization window. You want to know how to create a budget organization using
this window. Choose Window Help from the Help menu to display a help on this
topic.
1.9.3 To display online help for any

to show subtopics. Help on the topic displays in the document frame.
4. To collapse sections of the tree you previously expanded, click on topics
ADMM / IDS page 19
preceded by a minus sign (–).
5. When you are finished, choose Close from the web browser’s File
menu to close help.
Note: A topic called ”Library” and topics corresponding to other products and
product families are often included on the navigation tree associated with a
particular responsibility.
1.9.4 To display version information
for Oracle Applications:
1. Choose About Oracle Applications from the Help menu.
2. An About Oracle Applications window appears on your screen. The
window provides details about the version of the Oracle Applications
components you are using, your login information, and information
about the current form you are using. You can supply this information
to your system administrator or to Oracle Customer Support if you
need to report a problem.
3. Choose OK to close this window.
20. 1.10 SOA Searching for Help
You can perform a search to find the Oracle Applications help information you want.
Simply enter your query in the text field located in the top-left frame of the
browser window when viewing help, then click the adjacent Find button.
A list of titles, ranked by relevance and linked to the documents in question, is
returned from your search in the right-hand document frame. Click on whichever
title seems to best answer your needs to display the complete document in this
frame. If the document doesn't fully answer your questions, use your browser's
Back button to return to the list of titles and try another.
The search syntax to use in constructing your query can be any of those shown in
the following table.
Use this syntax . . . To find files containing . . .
term the word "term"
string* words that begin with "string"
"words, and punctuation" the precise phrase "words, and punctuation"
term1 OR term2 either term1 or term2
term1 term2
term1 AND term2 both term1 and term2
term1 +term2
term1 AND NOT term2 term1, but not term2
term1 -term2
Example
You want to know how to create a budget organization in Oracle General Ledger.
You enter "budget organization" in the search field, and click Find. A linked list of
help documents that contain this phrase appears in the document frame. You click
on one that seems appropriate and start reading.
When you complete your work, you can choose to save or discard any unsaved
work in your form(s) before exiting Oracle Applications.
ADMM / IDS page 20
21. ADMM / IDS page 21
1.11 SOA To exit Oracle
Applications

budgets.
72. 6.3 B Defining Budget Sets
Navigation Path: Work Structure -> Budget -> Define Budget
6.3.1 BS Introduction
1. You define a budget set as one or more elements that you use to
record budget values. Each element in a budget set can have one
or more cost allocation funding sources.
2. Using budget sets, you can link budget entries you record in a
budget worksheet to the PAY elements you use to record
compensation and other values. You can run Oracle HRMS reports
to compare a budgeted value for an element to the run result
recorded for that element.
3. Use the Budget Set window to define a default budget set. You
can add or delete elements to a set in the budget worksheet.
6.3.2 BS To define a Define budget :
1. Follow the Navigation Path.
2. Enter or query a Budget Set.
3. Choose the Elements tab.
4. Select an Element you want to include in the budget set.
5. Enter the Default Percentage of the budget entry value that is
ADMM / IDS page 72
distributed to the element.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each element in the budget set.
7. Choose the Funding Sources tab.
8. Choose the left or right arrow button to select an element in the
budget set.
9. Click into the Cost Allocation field to open the Cost Allocation
Flexfield window.
10. Enter the cost allocation code combination by selecting a value
for each applicable field:
Company

7.1 SA Overview
In this section covers the following core aspects that can enable you to set up and
maintain security for different classes of users. Once you have identified who will
use Oracle HRMS, what information they require, and how they will use it.
1. Responsibilities Window
2. System Profile Values Window
3. Choosing a Responsibility
4. Menus Window
75. ADMM / IDS page 75
7.2 SA Responsibilities
Window
Navigation Path: Security -> Responsibility -> Define
7.2.1 RW The Main Responsibilities
Concepts
A responsibility determines if the user accesses Oracle
Applications or Oracle Self-Service Web Applications, which
applications functions a user can use, which reports and
concurrent programs the user can run, and which data
those reports and concurrent programs can access.
Each application user is assigned at least one
responsibility.
Responsibilities cannot be deleted. To remove a
responsibility from use, set the Effective Date's To field to
a past date. You must restart Oracle Applications to see
the effect of your change.
7.2.2 RW How To Define A New
Responsibility
1. Choose the system administrator responsibility.
2. Follow the Navigation Path
3. Write the Responsibility Name. If you have multiple
responsibilities, a pop-up window includes this name after you sign
on.
4. write the Application name. This application name does not
prevent the user of this responsibility from accessing other
applications' forms and functions if you define the menu to access
other applications. An application name and a responsibility name
uniquely identify a responsibility.
5. Responsibility Key. This is a unique name for a responsibility that
is used by loader programs. Loaders are concurrent programs used
to "load" such information as messages, user profiles and user
profile values into your Oracle Applications tables. To help ensure
that your responsibility key is unique throughout your system, begin
76. each Responsibility Key name with the application short name
associated with this responsibility.
6. Effective Dates ( From/To ). Enter the start/end dates on which
the responsibility becomes active/inactive. The default value for the
start date is the current date, and if you do not enter an end date,
the responsibility is valid indefinitely. You cannot delete a
responsibility because its information helps to provide an audit trail.
You can deactivate a responsibility at any time by setting the end
date to the current date. If you wish to reactivate the responsibility,
change the end date to a date after the current date, or clear the
end date.
7. Available From. A responsibility may be associated with only one
applications system. Select between Oracle Self-Service Web
Applications or Oracle Applications.
8. Data Group ( Name/Application ) The data group defines the
pairing of application and ORACLE username. Select the application
whose ORACLE username forms connect to when you choose this
responsibility. The ORACLE username determines the database
tables and table privileges accessible by your responsibility.
Transaction managers can only process requests from
responsibilities assigned the same data group as the transaction
manager.
9. The Menu whose name you enter must already be defined with
ADMM / IDS page 76
Oracle Applications.
10. Web Host Name If your Web Server resides on a different machine
from your database, you must designate the host name (URL) here.
Otherwise, the Web Host Name defaults to the current database host
server.
11. Enter the PL/SQL Agent Name for the database used by this
responsibility. If you do not specify an Agent Name, the
responsibility defaults to the agent name current at log-on.
12. Assign a Request Group ( Name/Application ). If you do not assign
a request security group to this responsibility, a user with this
responsibility cannot run requests, request sets, or concurrent
programs from the Submit Requests window, except for request sets
owned by the user. The user can access requests from a Submit
Requests window you customize with a request group code through
menu parameters.
13. Define function and Menu Exclusion rules to restrict the application
functionality accessible to a responsibility.
14. Select either Function or Menu as the Type of exclusion rule to apply
against this responsibility.
When you exclude a function from a responsibility, all
occurrences of that function throughout the responsibility's
menu structure are excluded.
77. When you exclude a menu, all of its menu entries, that is, all
the functions and menus of functions that it selects, are
excluded.
15. Select the Name of the function or menu you wish to exclude from
this responsibility. The function or menu you specify must already be
defined in Oracle Applications.
16. Self-Service Applications Security. Oracle Self-Service Web
Applications uses columns, rows and values in database tables to
define what information users can access. Table columns represent
"attributes" that can be assigned to a responsibility as Securing
Attributes or Excluded Attributes. These attributes are defined in the
Web Application Dictionary.
17. Excluded Items. Use the List of Values to select valid attributes.
You can assign any number of Excluded Attributes to a
responsibility.
18. Securing Attributes . Use the List of Values to select valid
attributes. You may assign any number of securing attributes to the
responsibility.

78. 7.3 SA System Profile Values
ADMM / IDS page 78
Window
Navigation Path: Profile -> System
7.3.1 SP The Main Profile Concepts
Use this window to view and set profile option values.
You can view and set profile options at the site, application,
responsibility, and user levels.
Your settings affect users as soon as they sign on or change
responsibility.
In the Profile Values Block Set values for profile options
at one or more levels. Each value overrides those set to its
left. For example, a User Value setting overrides a
Responsibility Value setting, which overrides an Application
Value setting, which overrides a Site Value setting.
If you have a profile option value that is no longer valid,
you will see an LOV for the field instead of the value.
79. 7.3.2 SP How To Set the profile
1. Choose the system administrator responsibility.
2. Follow the Navigation Path
3. In the Profile field you can displays the name of a profile option.
4. Site field displays the current value, if set, for all users at the
ADMM / IDS page 79
installation site.
5. Application displays the current value, if set, for all users working
under responsibilities owned by the application identified in the Find
Profile Values block.
6. Responsibility field is used to display the current value, if set, for
all users working under the responsibility identified in the Find Profile
Values block.
7. User field displays the current value, if set, for the application user
identified in the Find Profile Values block.
8. Find System Profile Values Block. Specify the level or levels at
which you wish to view and set profile option values.
80. 9. Display You can view the values set for your installed profile options at
ADMM / IDS page 80
each of four levels:
Site, which affects all users at an installation site.
Application, which affects all users working under responsibilities
owned by a particular application.
Responsibility, which affects all users working under a specific
responsibility.
User, which affects a unique application user.
You can find the values for all profile options that include a
specific character string, such as "OE:" for Oracle Order Entry.
You can also display only profile options whose values are
currently set.
10. Check the Site check box if you wish to display the values for profile
options at an installation site.
11. Select an Application if you wish to display profile option values for
responsibilities owned by that application.
12. Select a Responsibility if you wish to display profile option values for a
specific responsibility.
13. Select an application User if you wish to display profile option values for a
specific user.
14. Enter the name of the Profile option whose values you wish to display.
You may search for profile options using character strings and the wildcard
symbol (%). For example, to find all the profile options prefixed by
"Concurrent:", you could enter "Conc%" and press the Find button.
15. Profiles with No Values Select whether to display all profiles,
including those without currently set values. If this check box is
unselected, only profiles with current values are retrieved.
16. Choose the Find button to display all profile options, or the profile options
you are searching for, at the level or levels you specified.

7.4 SA Users Window
Navigation Path: Security -> Responsibility -> Define
7.4.1 UW Introduction
Use this window to define an application user.
An application user is an authorized user of Oracle
Applications and/or Oracle Self-Service Applications who is
uniquely identified by an application username.
Once defined, a new application user can sign on to Oracle
Applications and access data through Oracle Applications
windows.
7.4.2 UW How To Define A New
Responsibility
1. Choose the system administrator responsibility.
2. Follow the Navigation Path
3. Enter a User Name
An application user enters this username to sign on to
Oracle Applications.
The username must not contain more than one word.
You should use only alphanumeric characters ('A'
through 'Z', and '0' through '9') in the username.
Please note that you must limit your username to the
set of characters that your operating system supports
for filenames.
We recommend that you define meaningful usernames, such
as the employee's first initial followed by their last name.
Or, for a group account, you can define the application
username so as to indicate the purpose or nature of the
group account.
4. Password
Enter the initial password of an application user. An
application user enters this password along with her or his
username to sign on to Oracle Applications.
A password must be at least five characters and can extend
up to 100 characters.
You should use alphanumeric characters ('A' through 'Z',
and '0' through '9') in a password. All other characters are
invalid.
82. This window does not display the password you enter. After
you enter a password, you must re-enter it to ensure you
did not make a typing error.
5. Person, Customer, and Supplier : Use these fields to enter the name
of an employee (person), customer, or supplier contact. Enter the last
name and first name, separated by a comma, of the employee,
customer, or supplier who is using this application username and
password. Use the List of Values to select a valid name.
6. E-Mail/Fax : Enter the E-mail address and/or fax number for this user.
7. Password Expiration
Days : Enter the maximum number of days between
password changes. A pop-up window prompts an application
user to change her or his password after the maximum
number of days you specify has elapsed.
Accesses : Enter the maximum allowed number of sign-ons
to Oracle Applications allowed between password changes. A
pop-up window prompts an application user to change her
or his password after the maximum number of accesses you
specify has elapsed.
ADMM / IDS page 82
8. Effective Dates From/To
The user cannot sign onto Oracle Applications before the
start date and after the end date. The default for the start
date is the current date. If you do not enter an end date,
the username is valid indefinitely.
You cannot delete an application user from Oracle
Applications because this information helps to provide an
audit trail. You can deactivate an Oracle Applications user at
any time by setting the End Date to the current date.
If you wish to reactivate a user, change the End Date to a
date after the current date, or clear the End Date field.
9. Responsibility : Select the name of a responsibility you wish to assign
to this application user. A responsibility is uniquely identified by
application name and responsibility name.
10. Security Group : This field is for HRMS security only.
11. From/To
You cannot delete a responsibility because this information
helps to provide an audit trail. You can deactivate a user's
responsibility at any time by setting the End Date to the
current date.
If you wish to reactivate the responsibility for the user,
change the End Date to a date after the current date, or
clear the End Date.
12. Securing Attributes
Securing attributes are used by Oracle Self-Service Web
Applications to allow rows (records) of data to be visible to
specified users or responsibilities based on the specific data
(attribute values) contained in the row.
You may assign one or more values for any of the securing
attributes assigned to the user. If a securing attribute is
assigned to both a responsibility and to a user, but the user
83. does not have a value for that securing attribute, no
information is returned for that attribute.
For example, to allow a user in the ADMIN responsibility to
see rows containing a CUSTOMER_ID value of 1000, assign
the securing attribute of CUSTOMER_ID to the ADMIN
responsibility. Then give the user a security attribute
CUSTOMER_ID value of 1000.
When the user logs into the Admin responsibility, the only
customer data they have access to has a CUSTOMER_ID
value of 1000.
13. Attribute : Select an attribute you want used to determine which
records this user can access. You can select from any of the attributes
assigned to the user's responsibility.
14. Value : Enter the value for the attribute you want used to
determine which records this user can access.

7.5 SA Menus Window
Navigation Path: Application -> Menu
7.5.1 MW Introduction
A menu is a hierarchical arrangement of functions and
menus of functions. Each responsibility has a menu
assigned to it.
A "full access" responsibility with a menu that
includes all the functions in an application is
predefined for each Oracle Applications product.
As a System Administrator, you can restrict the
functionality a responsibility provides by defining
rules to exclude specific functions or menus of
functions.
If you cannot create the responsibility you need by
applying exclusion rules, you may build a custom
menu for that responsibility using predefined forms
(i.e., form functions) and their associated menus of
subfunctions. However, we recommend that you do
not disassociate a form from its developer-defined
menus of subfunctions.
85. 7.5.2 MW Define A New Menu Or
Modify An Existing Menu.
1. Choose the system administrator responsibility.
2. Follow the Navigation Path
3. Menu : Choose a name that describes the purpose of the menu.
Users do not see this menu name.
ADMM / IDS page 85
86. 4. View Tree... : Once you have defined a menu, you can see its
hierarchical structure using the "View Tree..." button.
5. User Menu Name : You use the user menu name when a
responsibility calls a menu or when one menu calls another.
6. Menu Type : Optionally specify a menu type to describe the
ADMM / IDS page 86
purpose of your menu.
Standard - for menus that would be used in the
Navigator form
Tab - for menus used in self service applications tabs
Security - for menus that are used to aggregate
functions for data security or specific function security
purposes, but would not be used in the Navigator
form
7. Sequence
87. Enter a sequence number to specify where a menu
entry appears relative to other menu entries in a
menu. The default value for this field is the next
whole sequence number.
A menu entry with a lower sequence number appears
before a menu entry with a higher sequence number.
Use integers only as your sequence numbers.
Once you save this work, you can go back and
renumber each entry to have the final sequence
number you want.
ADMM / IDS page 87
88. ADMM / IDS page 88
8. Navigator Prompt
Enter a user-friendly, intuitive prompt your menu
displays for this menu entry. You see this menu
prompt in the hierarchy list of the Navigator window.
Enter menu prompts that have unique first letters so
that power users can type the first letter of the menu
prompt to choose a menu entry.
9. Submenu : Call another menu and allow your user to select
menu entries from that menu.
10. Function : Call a function you wish to include in the menu. A
form function (form) appears in the Navigate window and allows
access to that form. Other non-form functions (subfunctions)
allow access to a particular subset of form functionality from this
menu.
11. Description : Descriptions appear in a field at the top of the
Navigate window when a menu entry is highlighted.
12. Grant : The Grant check box should usually be checked.
Checking this box indicates that this function is automatically
enabled for the user. If this is not checked then the function must
be enabled using additional data security rules.

1. Choose the system administrator responsibility.
2. Follow the Navigation Path
3. Select the application name and title of the key flexfield you want to
define. You cannot create a new flexfield or change the name of an
existing flexfield using this window.
4. You can create a new structure for your flexfield by inserting a row.
If you are modifying an existing structure, use your cursor keys to
select the title of the flexfield structure you want.
5. If you want to generate a database view for this structure, enter a
view name. Your view name should begin with a letter and must not
contain any characters other than letters, numbers, or underscores (
_ ). Your view name must not contain any spaces.
92. 6. Check the Enabled check box so that this structure may be used in
your key flexfield. You cannot delete structures from this window
because they are referenced elsewhere in the system, but you can
disable them at any time. A structure must be enabled before it can
be used.
You should enable at least one structure for each key flexfield. If you disable
a structure that already contains data, you cannot use that structure to
create new combinations or query up your old information.
7. Select the character you want to use to separate your flexfield
segment values or descriptions whenever your application forms
display concatenated segment values or descriptions.
You should choose your separator character carefully so that it does not
conflict with your flexfield data. Do not use a character that is used in your
segment values. For example, if your data frequently contains periods ( . ) in
monetary or numeric values, do not use a period as your segment separator.
8. If you want to allow dynamic inserts, check the Allow Dynamic
Inserts check box. You would allow dynamic inserts of new valid
combinations into your generic combinations table if you want users
to create new combinations from windows that do not use your
combinations table.
9. Choose the Segments button to open the Segments Summary
window, and define your flexfield segments.
10. Save your changes.
11. Freeze your flexfield structure by checking the Freeze Flexfield
Definition check box.
Do not freeze your flexfield if you want to set up or modify your flexfield
segments or change the appearance of your key flexfield window. You cannot
make most changes while your flexfield is frozen.
12. Compile your frozen flexfield by choosing the Compile button. Your
changes are saved automatically when you compile.
You must freeze and compile your flexfield definition before you can use your
flexfield. If you have more than one flexfield structure, you must freeze,
save, and compile each structure separately. If you decide to make changes
to your flexfield definition, make sure that you freeze and save your flexfield
definition again after making your changes.

2. Enter a unique name for this value set.
3. Specify the List Type for your value set.
Choose List of Values if your value set should not provide the LongList feature
in Oracle Forms applications. A user will not see a poplist in Oracle Self-
Service applications.
Choose Long List of Values if your value set should provide the LongList
feature in Oracle Forms Applications. The LongList feature requires a user to
enter a partial segment value before the list of values retrieves al l available
values. You may not enable LongList for a value set that has a validation type
of None. A user will not see a poplist in Oracle Self-Service applications.
98. Choose Poplist if your value set should not provide the LongList feature in
Oracle Forms applications, but should provide a poplist in Oracle Self-Service
applications.
4. Specify the Security Type you plan to use with any segments that
use this value set. Security does not apply to value sets of validation
type None, Special, or Pair.
ADMM / IDS page 98
99. The possible security types are:
No Security - All security is disabled for this value set.
Hierarchical Security - Hierarchical security is enabled. With
hierarchical security, the features of value security and
value hierarchies are combined. With this feature any
security rule that applies to a parent value also applies to
its child values.
Non-Hierarchical Security - Security is enabled, but the
rules of hierarchical security do not apply. That is, a
security rule that applies to a parent value does not
"cascade down" to its child values.
5. Enter the type of format you want to use for your segment values.

8.5 AS Defining Segments
8.5.1 DS Basic Segments Concepts
Use the Segments window to define segments for
your flexfield. The window title includes the current
flexfield's name. If your flexfield definition is frozen
(that is, the Freeze Flexfield Definition check box is
checked), this window becomes display-only.
You can define as many segments as there are
defined segment columns in your flexfield table. You
can create a new segment for your flexfield by
inserting a row.
If your flexfield definition is frozen, the Segments window
fields are not updateable.
101. Use the Key Flexfield Segments window or the
Descriptive Flexfield Segments window to define your
flexfield structure.
8.5.2 DS To define segments:
1. Enter a name for the segment that you want to define.
Your segment name should begin with a letter and use only letters, numbers,
spaces or underscores ( _ ).
2. Select the name of the column you want to use for your flexfield
ADMM / IDS page 101
segment.
3. Enter the segment number for this segment.
4. Indicate whether you want this segment to appear in the flexfield
window. If your segment is not displayed, you should provide a
default type and value so that the user does not need to enter a
value for this segment. If you do not display a segment but also do
not provide a default value for it, your users may see error
messages when using this flexfield.
102. 5. Enter the name of the value set you want your flexfield to use to
ADMM / IDS page 102
validate this segment.
103. 6. Indicate whether you want to require a value for this segment. If
you do, users must enter a value before leaving the flexfield
window. If not, the segment is optional.
7. Indicate whether to allow security rules to be used for this segment.
Otherwise any defined security rules are disabled.
If the value set for this segment does not allow security rules, then this field
is display only.
8. If you want your flexfield to validate your segment value against the
value of another segment in this structure, then choose either Low
or High in the Range field. Segments with a range type of Low must
appear before segments with a range type of High (the low segment
must have a lower number than the high segment). For example, if
you plan two segments named "Start Date" and "End Date," you
may want to require users to enter an end date later than the start
date. You could have "Start Date" be Low and "End Date" be High.
In this example, the segment you name "Start Date" must appear
before the segment you name "End Date," or you cannot compile
your flexfield.
If you choose Low for one segment, you must also choose High for another
segment in that structure (and vice versa). Otherwise you cannot compile
your flexfield.
If your value set is of the type Pair, this field is display only, and the value
defaults to Pair.
9. Enter the display size and prompt information for the segment.
ADMM / IDS page 103
