A
Access Level)
Any value in the range of 0 to 1000. Each workflow user performs operations at a specific access level. The access level defines whether users can modify certain workflow data. You can only modify the protected data with the access level equal to or higher than your access level.
Accounting flexfield (accounting subject elastic domain)
Code used to determine the general ledger account in the Oracle schemals application. The elastic Domain value of each accounting subject corresponds to the summary account or accumulative account in the subject.
Action set)
The sequence of alert activities enabled for a specific alert. You can assign a sequence number for each activity in the activity set to specify the execution sequence of the activity.
Activity)
A unit of work executed in a business flow.
Activity attribute)
A specific parameter of a function activity. It controls the running mode of a function activity. You can define Activity Properties by displaying the "properties" feature page of the activity in the "activity" window. You can assign a value to the activity property by displaying the "property value" feature page of the activity node in the "process" window.
Alert (warning)
A mechanism for checking specific database exceptions. Warning is expressed by the SQL SELECT statement it contains. The SQL SELECT statement tells the application product which database exceptions should be identified and which outputs should be generated for the exceptions.
Alert Action (alert activity)
Activities that you need to perform with an alert. The alert activity depends on the alert output. An activity may include sending an email message to the mail ID, running the Oracle Applications Program, running the program or script program in the operating system, or running the SQL script program to modify information in the database. An alert can have multiple activities, and the alert output can be included.

Alternative region (Alternative Region)
An alternative area is a set of areas in the same space in a window. At any time, the window can only display one area. You can use the pop-up list icon used to display the title of a region to identify an alternative region, which is located at the top of a horizontal line across this region.
Attribute)
See activity attribute, item type attribute, or message attribute ).
Audittrail)
Tracking clues are used to track the updated rows in the database table, the update time, and the users who log on using the form. You can track multiple updates and create data trails that record changes to database tables.
Autoreduction (automatic reduction)
An Oracle Applications feature in the List window that allows you to shorten the list so that you can select the final value by browsing the subset of the value. Just as when you enter other characters, "auto-reduce" will gradually reduce the Value List, press [backspace] to gradually expand the list.
Autoselection (automatic selection)
A function in the List window that allows you to select a valid value from the list by clicking the key only once. In the displayed List window, you can enter the first character of the required options in this window. If there is only one option that starts with the character you entered, "auto select" selects this option, closes the List window, and enters the corresponding field for this value.
Autoskip (automatically skipped)
A specific feature of the elastic domain. when you enter a valid value in the current elastic domain segment, Oracle Applications automatically move the cursor to the next segment. You can enable or disable this function by using the "elastic domain: automatically skip" option of the user configuration file.
B
Background engines (background engine)
Auxiliary workflow engine that processes delayed or time-out activities.
Balancing segment (balance segment)
An elastic domain segment of an accounting subject that you define to enable Oracle general ledger to automatically balance each value of this segment with all the journal entries. For example, if your company segment is a balanced segment, Oracle general ledger makes sure that in each journal entry, the total loan amount of company 01 is equal to the total loan amount of company 01.
Block)
Each Oracle Applications window (except the root window and modal window) consists of one or more blocks. A block contains information specific to a specific business entity. Generally, the window name is assumed to be the name of the first block in the window or the only block in the window. Otherwise, the block name is displayed at the top of the block, and a horizontal line is provided to mark the start of the block.
Business Entity)
Individuals, places, or things that your business is tracking. For example, a business entity can be an account, a customer, or a department.
Button)
You can select a button to start a predefined activity. Button does not store any value. A button is usually marked with a text indicating its activity, or it is itself an icon indicating its activity.
C
Check box (check box)
You can select or undo the check box for a value to specify whether the value is enabled, disabled, or disabled. You can select one or more check boxes because each check box is independent and is not associated with other check boxes.
Child request)
Is a concurrent request submitted by another sending request (parent request. For example, each report and/or program in a report set is a subrequest of the report set.
Combination Block)
A combination block can display fields in a record in the format of multiple records (Summary) and a single record (details) at the same time. The two formats are displayed in their respective windows, so that you can easily locate them.
Combination of segment values (segment value combination)
The segment value combination describes the information stored in fields composed of segments. After you change one or more segment values, different combinations of segment values are generated. When you change the segment value combination, the Information Descriptions stored in this field are also changed accordingly.
Combination query)
See: existing combinations
Concurrent Manager)
Dedicated tools for managing multiple time-consuming, non-interactive tasks in Oracle Applications. When you submit a non-interactive request (such as a delivery or running Report) in Oracle applications, the "concurrency manager" will work for you to complete multiple tasks at the same time.
Concurrent process (concurrent process)
Non-interactive tasks that you require Oracle Applications to complete. A new concurrent process is created each time a non-interactive task is submitted. A concurrent process can run with other concurrent processes (and other interactive activities on the computer) at the same time to help you complete multiple tasks at a time.
Concurrent Program (concurrent program)
Programs that run together with other programs. When the terminal continues running, the concurrent program runs as a background process.
Concurrent Queue (concurrent Queue)
List of concurrent requests waiting for completion by the concurrency manager. Each concurrency manager has a waiting Request queue. If the system administrator sets the Oracle application product to wait in queue at the same time, your request can wait for running in multiple queues.
Concurrent request (concurrent request)
Requests from Oracle Applications to complete non-interactive tasks. Submit a non-interactive task at any time, such as shipping, posting a journal entry or running report, to send a request. Once a request is submitted, Oracle Applications will automatically work for you to complete your request without further intervention or interruption.
Cost (overhead)
You can assign a relative value to a function or notification activity, which notifies the workflow engine of the amount of work required to complete the activity. Complex activities with long running time can allocate high overhead. You can set the workflow engine to run with a critical overhead value. Any activity with an overhead value higher than the critical overhead of the workflow engine will be set to 'referred' without being processed. The backend engine can be set to poll and process delayed activities.
Current record indicator (current record indicator)
Multiple record blocks usually display a current record indicator on the left of each record. The current record indicator is a single character field. When you fill in the value, it indicates the currently selected record.
D

Mappings between Oracle Workflow users and roles and the local directory library.
Document sequence (document serial number)
Defines how to assign a unique number to each document generated when updating the selected database table.
Dynamic insertion (Dynamic insert)
A specific function of the key elastic domain allows you to enter and define a new segment value combination in the elastic domain pop-up window. The combination can be accepted only when the new combination meets all cross-validation rules. Your organization can decide whether the key-elastic domain supports dynamic insertion. If an elastic field does not support dynamic insertion, you can only use a combination form (a form specifically used to create and maintain a code combination) to enter a new combination of segment values.
E
Event alert)
Monitors warnings of specific exceptions or changes in the database. If you use the Oracle Applications form to add or update information, exceptions may occur in the database. Event warning monitors exceptions in the database based on its SQL SELECT statement.
Existing combinations (existing combination)
In data entry mode, a specific function of the key elastic domain allows you to enter query criteria in the elastic domain, and display a list that matches the combination of predefined segment values for selection.
External functions (external function)
Programs executed outside oracle8.
