INFOCUS Replay: Logic Extensions for Business Analysts: Simple Development with No Code
Presented by:
Ray Orgill, Oracle
Have you ever had a brilliant idea, or a simple fix to a common problem, but felt that your hands were tied simply because you don’t know a programming language? Or perhaps your in-sourced or out-sourced development team is just too back-logged to get to your request? Take a deep breath: logic extensions are here. Join this session to see how easy it is to perform simple programming-like operations, such as arithmetic and string manipulation, all without a single line of code.

INFOCUS Replay: Launch Orchestrations from an EnterpriseOne Page: No Coding Required
Presented by:
AJ Schifano, Oracle
Looking for a quick win with big impact? Here’s one for you. Everybody knows that orchestrations are a great way to shrink multiple steps, tasks, and forms into a simple, one-step transaction. It’s a great way to automate and simplify complex processes. But how do we launch these orchestrations? How can end users benefit from them? What if you could simply launch an orchestration from an EnterpriseOne page? A simple button, tile, or image that offers the user a few inputs, and then BAM! the orchestration is off to do its thing. The net effect is a framework that enables you to quickly develop and deploy “microapplications” to simplify your users’ most common tasks. This session will demo a few of the possibilities and show just how easy it is.
