Categories, improving consistency and user experience across the platform.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s new in the 25D release for Absence Management under the
Redwood Experience:
Redwood Experience Highlights in 25D
- Absence Categories Page Upgrade
The Absence Categories interface has been redesigned using the Redwood UI framework,
offering a more modern, intuitive, and consistent experience across Oracle Cloud HCM
modules. - Redwood UI for Absence Categories
The Absence Categories page now uses Oracle’s Redwood design system, offering a cleaner
layout, better accessibility, and consistent navigation across HCM modules. - High-Fidelity Interactions
Users benefit from smoother navigation, clearer visuals, and better alignment with other
Redwood-enabled pages. This helps reduce confusion and training time for HR teams. - Steps to Enable
To activate the new Redwood page for Absence Categories, you must enable the profile option:
ORA_ANC_CATEGORIES_VBCS_UI_ENABLED
This can be done via the Manage Administrator Profile Values task in the Setup and
Maintenance work area.
Why It Matters
- Improved Usability: The Redwood UI is designed for clarity and ease of use, especially for non-
technical users. - Consistency Across Modules: Aligns Absence Management with other Redwood-enabled areas
like Time Entry and Entitlements. - Visual Builder Studio Integration: Enhances customization and responsiveness for enterprise-
scale deployments.
