Implementing Performance Management

4 Descriptive Flexfields
This chapter contains the following:

Descriptive Flexfields for Oracle Fusion Performance Management

Descriptive Flexfields for Oracle Fusion Performance Management

You can use descriptive flexfields (glossary.html#descriptive-flexfield) to
add company-defined attributes for a Oracle Fusion Performance
Management
entity, and define validation and display properties for them. For
example, you can create a descriptive flexfield for a
performance document (glossary.html#performance-document) to
ask workers if they are willing to be a mentor.

Defining Descriptive Flexfield

Segments
Use the Manage Descriptive Flexfields
task to define a segment for a descriptive flexfield for Performance
Management. You can add more
information related to a Performance
Management entity, such as document type (glossary.html#document-type), section, performance
template, performance template section, and evaluation detail of a
performance document.

There are five descriptive

flexfields available in Performance Management.

Descriptive Flexfield Description

HRA_DOC_TYPES_B Fields for document type displayed on the Create and
