3. Redwood Experience for HCM Data Loader
Quick Notes:
The View Business Objects page within the Data Exchange work area is now available in Redwood, focusing on streamlining navigation and improving the page’s organization and performance.
Users can search for and review the various business objects supported by HCM Data Loader and HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader. The page offers multiple functionalities, including viewing and updating business objects by Product Area, viewing roles that have bulk-loading access to a business object, and reviewing objects’ parameters and post processes.
4. Redwood Experience for Role Mappings
Quick Notes:
The new Redwood experience for Role Mappings makes it easier and more intuitive for users to create, review, and monitor role mapping.
Role mapping allows businesses to define relationships between users’ roles within the organization and the data access they need for that role. These role mappings can then be provisioned automatically or manually to the users who meet those conditions, based on the business’s needs.
5. Business Object Enhancements
Quick Notes:
The 26A release introduces new business objects and attributes while updating and decommissioning others, impacting areas such as tax withholding, checklist templates, and worker employment terms.
