At INFOCUS 2025, Haiyan Wang and the JD Edwards development team delivered an in-depth look at the latest innovations in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Digital Platform, highlighting the powerful updates from Release 25 and previewing what’s ahead in Release 26. The session emphasized Oracle’s commitment to advancing low-code/no-code extensibility, automation, and user experience, ensuring that JD Edwards customers remain fully engaged participants in today’s digital economy.

Why the Digital Platform Matters

The JD Edwards Digital Platform sits at the center of the ecosystem—connecting applications, infrastructure, and user experience. It powers process automation, enterprise integrations, notifications, orchestrations, form and logic extensions, widgets, and workflow. This “glue” layer enables organizations to extend functionality, modernize user interfaces, and integrate JD Edwards with cloud services and third-party applications.

As Wang emphasized, the digital platform is more than just relevant—it keeps JD Edwards thriving in a cloud-first, API-driven world. With REST integrations, Orchestrator services, and extensibility tools, the platform helps organizations adapt quickly to evolving business demands.

Highlights from Release 25

1. Text and Image Tiles on EnterpriseOne Pages
   Release 25 introduced support for text and image tiles, allowing users to add rich visuals and multilingual text directly into business process flows. This provides context, status visibility, and improved communication across global teams.
2. Orchestration Calls from Form Exits
   Building on previous orchestration capabilities, users can now trigger orchestrations directly from form or row exits. This enhancement streamlines workflows and extends automation opportunities throughout the application.
3. Comparative Criteria for Queries and Logic Extensions
   Queries and logic extensions now allow operands from multiple data fields, enabling comparisons such as “requested date greater than promised delivery date.” This adds flexibility and accuracy to business rules and reporting.
4. Widgets for Metrics and Visualization
   Widgets became one of the most powerful new features in Release 25. Created in Orchestrator Studio, widgets can display metrics as badges, meters, charts, or text. They provide real-time, actionable insights from JD Edwards data, external REST APIs, or calculations, and can be reused with filters for different contexts.
5. My Tasks Enhancements
   Orchestration messages now appear in the notification list alongside standard notification messages, making it easier to view messages in one place. Color-coded status indicators help users identify overdue or urgent tracked tasks at a glance.
6. Translatable Orchestration Inputs
   Organizations with global user bases can now translate orchestration input labels using content translation tools. This ensures a localized experience across all supported languages.
7. Switch Statement in Logic Extensions
   Developers and business analysts gain a streamlined way to handle multiple conditional branches in logic extensions. Switch statements improve productivity and simplify code design.
8. Rich Formatting in Workflow Messages
   Workflows now support tables, fonts, and graphics within messages, making approvals and notifications clearer, more engaging, and easier to act upon.

Looking Ahead: The Release 26 Roadmap

The roadmap session outlined several highly anticipated features coming in Release 26:

• Form Extensions on Power Edit Forms – Customers will be able to extend power edit forms by reordering fields, renaming labels, disabling controls, adding buttons, and associating orchestrations or logic extensions—all without custom code.
• Notifications on EnterpriseOne Page Tiles – Notifications will appear directly on tiles and connectors, providing process-specific visibility within business flows.
• Conditional Launch of Orchestrations from Form Extensions – Designers will be able to set conditions that determine when orchestrations or notifications should trigger, enabling smarter automation.
• Enterprise Automation Dashboard – A centralized, composite view of enterprise processes, orchestrations, workflows, KPIs, and metrics. Users will be able to drill into data, compare snapshots, and visualize automation health across the organization.

The Big Picture

JD Edwards customers have long asked, “Can JDE do this?” and the answer continues to be yes. With each release, the Digital Platform grows stronger, offering more tools to automate, optimize, and transform EnterpriseOne. From widgets and workflows to process dashboards and conditional automation, Oracle is equipping customers to stay agile in a fast-changing digital world.

As Wang concluded, the mission is clear: keep innovating, keep extending, and keep JD Edwards not just relevant—but indispensable—in the digital economy.
