3 Interface Overview

3.1.1 Configuring The System

Administrative users will see all options from the menus. Other users (for example, those assigned privileged roles) may see a much smaller subset of the administrator menu, depending on their assigned rights. The exact menu options any user sees depend on the rights assigned to the user. For details about rights assigned to different roles, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Setup Guide for Universal Records Management.

The following is an overview of the options on the Records menu:

• Rights: Used to view assigned rights and roles. See the Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Universal Records Management for information about viewing rights and roles.

• Favorites: Accesses the Favorites interface, displaying items added to your Favorites list. See the Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Universal Records Management for details about using Favorites.

• Dashboard: Used to configure a dashboard which is a shortcut to frequently used screens. See the Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Universal Records Management for information about configuring dashboards.

• Approvals: Displays a menu to access items awaiting review, approval or completion.

• Scheduled: Accesses scheduled actions, reports, and freezes.

• Reports: Used to access reports created by users as well as system reports.

• Import/Export: Accesses menus allowing import and export of archives and XSD data.

• Audit: Used to view checked-in audit entries or search the audit trail. Also used to configure performance monitoring tools and to screen disposition rules and failed dispositions.

• Configure: Used to configure many aspects of the system, such as freezes, triggers, security, audit trail information and reports.

• Global Updates: Used to update categories, folders, or content.

• Batch Services: Used to process notifications, run all pending batch actions, or to process actions and reviews.

• Sources: Used to display information about other content sources, either physical or external (such as Oracle URM Adapters) where content is retained or tracked.

3.1.2 Configuring Reports

Use the Configure Report Settings Page to determine the output format for reports about freezes, screening, and labels. Default reports provided with the software can be used or new report templates can be created. The data used in the reports is limited depending on the security permissions of the person creating the report. In this way, the reports, while available to most users, can still be kept secure.

To access this page, click Records then Configure from the Top menu. Click Reports then Settings. See Chapter 11, "Generating Reports" for details.

See the Oracle Fusion Middleware Setup Guide for Universal Records Management for details about creating custom reports using BI Publisher.

3.1.3 Configuring PCM

Use the Physical menu in the Top menu to access most aspects of Physical Content Management. The exact menu options any user sees depend on the rights assigned to that user.

Administrative users will see all options. Other users (for example, those assigned privileged roles) may see a much smaller subset, depending on their assigned rights.

The following is an overview of the options on the Physical menu:

• Reservations: Displays a list of all current reservations. See the Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Universal Records Management for details about reservations.

• Storage: Displays the Exploring Storage page where storage locations can be defined and edited.

• Invoices: Displays current invoices and allows creation of new invoices.

• Requests: Displays pending requests, checked-out requests, and overdue requests for physical items.

• Process Barcode File: Accesses a screen to upload barcode data.

• Configure: Used to configure many aspects of the physical management system, including general settings, chargeback types, and customers.

If Batch Services and Offsite Storage have been enabled, those options also appear. Batch Services are used to immediately process reservation requests, storage count updates, and other actions. Offsite Storage allows a site to interface with an offsite storage providers.
