VB Express Mode enables business users to customize HR processes and ensure data quality within the Oracle Cloud HCM framework. It combines the functionalities of Page Composer and Transaction Design Studio into a single tool for extensibility in Redwood.
Q: How do Business Rules function within the VB Express Mode?
Business Rules allow users to control the display of regions and fields on a Redwood page based on criteria such as country, business unit, or legal employer. They can make fields required or optional, show or hide fields, and make fields read-only.

Q: What is the recommended practice for setting up environments and CI/CD pipelines in VB Studio?
It is recommended that environments and CI/CD pipelines be set up once and reused multiple times for deployment to various development pods and production. Proper allocation of team members with appropriate access is also essential.
Q: What should users do if they encounter the message ‘You are not a member of this organization’ when accessing Visual Builder Studio?

Q: Do we have any tools to determine the customization done in responsive pages?
Redwood Customization Helper tool can report on and migrate Responsive UI (ADF) to Redwood UI (VBS) customizations.
Q: Do I need to reapply the Express mode or Business Rules changes after P2T?
User needs to re-deploy the extension from VB Studio if it has disappeared from the target pod because of P2T. P2T does not impact the data in VB Studio and therefore the customer can re-run the VBS Pipeline to re-deploy the extension. As a best practice, use VB Studio with a pod not periodically impacted by P2T. Re-deploy your changes from VB Studio because P2T will overwrite the Test DB
