Basic Navigation
User and Responsibility
User is an authorized user of Oracle Applications or Oracle Self-Service Applications, and is
uniquely identified by an application username and password.

Responsibility determines whether the user accesses Oracle 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

Wildcard Characters

The Wildcard, % represents a number of characters

The % is used to help us search, for example:

to reduce a list to only those choices that contain

schedule, you would type %schedule% in the Find field
and click Find (search is NOT generally case sensitive)

to reduce a list to only those choices that begin with

schedule, you would type schedule%

to reduce a list to only those choices that end with

schedule, you would type %schedule

Personalizing Forms using Folders

Using Folder
A Folder is a flexible entry and display window in which you can choose the fields you want to
see and where each appears in the window.
To create and save a folder:
1. The Folder indicator must be enabled
2. Click on the Folder Tools Icon (Tool Belt)
3. Customize the Window Display
4. Open as Default this folder will always open as the default
5. Public make public to be available to others
5. Click on the OK Button to Save the Folder

Exporting Records to a File

Use the export feature to save the records in a multi-row block to a tab-delimited or Excel file. If
saved as a tab-delimited file, you can then open in the application of your choice.
Exporting Large Numbers of Records:
Export, by default, selects all the records retrieved by the query. If the number of records
exceeds 100, you are prompted to: Stop, Continue to End, or Continue to select the next
100 records.
Attention: Avoid exporting a very large number of records as system performance can be
affected.
To start an export:
1. Query the records you want to export.
2. Place your cursor in the multi-row block that contains the records to be exported.
3. Choose Export... from the File menu.

To save exported data:

1. Once the Data Export is complete, you will be asked to Open or Save the file.
2. To save to an Excel file, be sure to add the .xls extension to the file name, otherwise, it
will be saved as a tab-delimited file.
