How to hide specific Person Extra Information Types

Out of the box, the Oracle Localization Development teams deliver some country specific person extra
information types. Because these are delivered by Oracle Development, customers are not able to
disable these extra information types. Two examples are India and China. Some customers do not have
employees in these countries and want to hide these delivered extra information types.

The solution is to use the page composer functionality to hide the display of specific type. The screen
shots below provide instructions on how to hide one of the person extra information types.

While in the Person Management work area, on the Manage Person tab, on the Extra Information tab,
launch the page composer functionality.

In order to reduce the scrolling, it is helpful to use the View > Source Position > Left option.

Using the cursor, select the specific extra information type that you want to hide. In this example, you
can see that we have selected ‘India Miscellaneous Information’.
In the source panel, scroll up and highlight the ‘panelGroupLayout: scroll’ option. Click on the Edit
button in the table toolbar. In the Component Properties: scroll dialog, select the Child Components tab.
In this example, the first ‘commandLink’ refers to the ‘India Miscellaneous Information’ extra information
type. By unchecking it, this will hide this from the list of types.

But because the ‘India Miscellaneous Information’ is the first extra information type, the details are still
displaying to the right of the list of extra information types. So, with the steps below, you will also hide
the details. This is NOT required if you are hiding the other types.

Select the Usage Code for Person : India Miscellaneous Information’.

With the ‘panelHeader: Usage Code for Person : India Miscellaneous Information’ selected, click the Edit
button in the table toolbar. In the Component Properties dialog on the Display Options tab, scroll down
to the ‘Show Component’ parameter, and using the dropdown icon, select the ‘Expression Builder’. In
the ‘Type a value or expression’, type ‘false’.

With these changes, you will NOT see the ‘India Miscellaneous Information’ extra information type or
the details.
You can now save your changes.
