Users typically access their own User Detail page by clicking My Profile from the User Navigation Menu. Clicking My Profile displays information related to the logged in user.

Administrators with user administration permission can access this page for a user from the Users page (Admin Home > Internal Users) or from My Profile if they have proxy logged in as that user.

Javascript/Advanced HTML Opt-In

While Oracle CPQ does not endorse or guarantee the use of JavaScript customizations, we recognize that some customers have extended the Oracle CPQ. Customizations may present a security risk, conflict with new Oracle CPQ platform features, data may be corrupted or lost, maintenance and support may be difficult, cross-browser support must be verified, performance may be impaired, and testing is required for each upgrade. Customers should consider carefully the relative benefits of JavaScript customizations in light of the associated risks.

Administrators must opt in to add customized advanced HTML/JavaScript to the site. This checkbox must be selected in order for the user to add or modify customized JavaScript or Advanced HTML scripts. If a user attempts to add custom advanced HTML without this setting selected, an error message displays indicating the opt-in setting is required. When this occurs the JavaScript/HTML content is blocked from entry. The user can remove the JavaScript/Advanced HTML content or opt in. This setting reminds users of the risks associated with JavaScript/Advanced HTML customizations and they take responsibility for the risks to their site.

Notifications

When Email is selected for Notifications the user will receive approval notification emails, Submit sub-action notification emails, and Transition Rule notification emails from the system. When Email is not selected, the user will not receive any notification emails from the system, even if the criteria to send him/her a notification email is met.

Note: Users that elect not to receive notification emails from the system will still receive Broadcast Emails.

Delegated Approver The active user that will receive the same approval notifications as the user and can approve or reject Transactions on his/her behalf. Typically the Delegated Approver is set by the user when he/she will be out of the office and cannot access the system to perform his/her approvals. Refer to Delegated Approvers.
