Introduction

Autocomplete Rules is the fourth component of the HCM Experience Design Studio joining
Transaction Design Studio, Person Spotlight, and Landing Pages. Autocomplete Rules, a data
model layer extensibility framework is part of the HCM Cloud extensibility tools. It provides the
ability to create your own rules on top of the application to default or validate values entered in a
transaction. By default, these rules apply everywhere such as UI, HDL, REST, SOAP, etc.

If you are in application release 21A or prior, refer - Controlled Availability of Oracle HCM
Cloud AutoComplete Tool (Doc ID 2637151.1).
You can use the Autocomplete Rules tool to do these tasks:

 Validate single-entity
o Prevent special characters in names and address fields
o Ensure phone number formats
 Validate date attributes
o Prevent retro or future dated transactions
 Validate across business attributes
 o If Location is … then Department must be …
 Default business attributes
o Logged in user Department, Legal Entity, Business Unit
 Default based on a condition
o Set the Full-time/Part-time status based on Work Hours
 Default based on complex business rules across objects
o Default Salary Basis based on FLSA status

ACTIONS

Create intake request for using Autocomplete Rules:

You have to submit your defaulting and validation use cases to enable and use Autocomplete
Rules in your environments. Follow the steps below and submit your use cases for review and
approval by Oracle.

1. Create SR to request access for implementing Autocomplete Rules. Follow the steps below to
create the SR:
1. In MOS/Cloud Portal, navigate to Cloud Tab (for MOS)

3. Choose Problem Type – “Global Human Resources > HCM Experience Design Studio
(Transaction Design Studio, Autocomplete, Person Spotlight, Landing Page Background

provided. Please note: the email you provide during SR creation process is used to send
user account, password reset etc. notifications from CoE Autocomplete Program
App which will be used to submit and track use cases
2. Support initiates internal process
3. Oracle provisions user account for the CoE Autocomplete Program App
1. CoE Autocomplete Program App is available outside the Oracle network
2. Email is sent to customer / SI partner POC from step 1
4. Customer / SI Partner to submit Autocomplete use cases. Use cases must be submitted online

5. After your use case is approved, you will receive an approval email, instructions to enable
Autocomplete Rules and methods to request any additional assistance.
6. Only approved use cases are supported by Oracle. Hence, the approved use case number must
be provided when you create an SR to request assistance on a specific use case.
7. Autocomplete Rules only supports mobile responsive UI.

Introduction
One of the most sought after feature by an Oracle HCM Cloud Consultant since the inception of Oracle
Fusion has been “Defaulting specific business Attribute field” either with a constant value or via some
derived logic based on the value of other fields. While a part of it was possible by making use of
Descriptive Flexfields (DFF) and Extensive Flexfields (EFF) the same has now been extended to other
fields too, thanks to “AutoComplete Rules” feature which generally available starting release 20A.
In this example, we will try to demonstrate how to default the “Home Email” / “Work Email” to a
constant value using the same feature.
So, without much ado let’s get started.
Worked Out Example
As a first step we should ensure that we login to the application with a user having appropriate credentials
(user having access to create Sandbox) and then we would need to create a sandbox.
Navigation is : Login To Application -> Navigator -> Configuration -> Sandbox
 
Once we click on Sandbox a new page will open where we can choose the different tools and create a
sandbox (we will name it as “AH_AutoCompletionRules)
Next we will need to navigate to Home Page and Click on “HCM Experience Design Studio”

Once we click on the link (highlighted in yellow in above screen-shot)  new page will open and we should
choose the “Autocomplete Rules” . There are different actions against which we can choose the
AutoComplete Rules and they would appear on the drop-down list on the work area
 
Also there are different types of rules which can be created namely:
1. Add Business Object Defaulting Rule
2. Add Business Object Validation Rule
3. Add Business Object Field Validation Rules
4. Add Business Object Field Modification Rules
 

 
Creating Business Object Defaulting Rule
For this example we would choose “Person Email” and “Add Business Object Defaulting Rule”. Once we
click on those a new page will appear. We would need to populate the following fields 
Rule Information
Name Assign a default Email Address to All Person Records
 Descriptio Assign a default Email Address to All Person Records
n
Active Checked
Rule Logic {
IF
(
  (f) Person Email. Type IN (f) All
)
 {
   IF
     (
       (f) Person Email. Type IN (f) Home Email
     )
        { 
           Person Email. Email = (f) person-home-email@home_email.com
        }
   }
{
   IF
     (
       (f) Person Email. Type IN (f) Work Email
     )
        { 
           Person Email. Email = (f) person-work-email@work_email.com
        }
   }
}  
 
 
And this completes the rule creation part. 
Performing a “Hire An Employee” Action
In the next step, we will create a new employee and check whether the email address gets defaulted.
After populating the “When and Why” and “Personal Details” section when we navigate to
“Communication Info” section we can see the below page

 If we select “Work Email” we can see the email value gets defaulted.
 
Similarly, if we select “Home Email” then there would be a defaulting action too

Summary
So, this is how we can make use of “Autocomplete Rules” to default values while performing different
transactions within Oracle Fusion HCM Application. With this I have come to the end of this article and
hope this was a good read. Thanks all for your time and have a great day ahead.
