Setup Requirements and Process
Technical Requirements
To use real-time guidance effectively, your Oracle Cloud environment needs specific configurations. At the very least, you’ll need an active Oracle Cloud subscription with administrator access. Make sure you also have a modern browser, stable network connection, proper user permissions, and enough storage for learning materials.
Here’s how to set up Guided Learning step by step.
Setup Steps
-
Initial Configuration
Log in to your Oracle Cloud administrator dashboard and activate Guided Learning. -
Environment Preparation
Check that your setup meets recommended requirements, including security certificates and authentication protocols. -
User Access Setup
Assign roles and permissions to ensure a smooth experience. Set up administrator accounts to manage the service, roles for content creation, and permissions for learners. -
Integration Verification
Test Guided Learning features like overlays and interactive elements across your Oracle Cloud applications. Confirm that user authentication works and that the system runs efficiently.
If you need assistance, Camptra Technologies offers expert help to make your Guided Learning deployment hassle-free.
Building Learning Content
Content Options
Oracle Guided Learning provides multiple content formats tailored to meet different learning goals and user requirements.
Interactive Guides
These are step-by-step walkthroughs that overlay directly on Oracle Cloud applications. They guide users through processes in real-time while they work in the live environment. Features like tooltips, highlights, and validation steps help ensure tasks are completed accurately.
Quick Reference Materials
These are easy-to-access resources designed to support users during their workflow. Examples include:
- Contextual help bubbles
- Field-level descriptions
- Process diagrams
- Short video demonstrations
Role-Based Learning Paths
Organize training content by job roles to deliver focused learning. For instance, finance teams might need guides for journal entries, while HR teams would benefit from recruitment process instructions.
Once you’ve chosen the right content format, use the following guidelines to create effective materials.
Content Creation Guidelines
Here’s how to make your learning content more effective:
Keep It Focused
Each guide should cover a single task or process. For complex workflows, break them into smaller, clear steps. For example, instead of one long guide for procurement, create separate guides for:
- Creating purchase requisitions
- Approving purchase orders
- Managing supplier invoices
- Reconciling payments
Use Clear Language
Write instructions that are simple and action-oriented. Avoid technical jargon. Each step should start with an action verb, such as:
- "Select the Purchase Orders tab"
- "Enter the supplier details"
- "Review the payment terms"
Add Visuals
Visual aids can make content easier to understand. Include elements like:
- Screenshots of critical screens
- Highlighted areas for key fields
- Progress indicators
- Messages confirming task completion
Test and Validate
Ensure your guides work as intended by testing them thoroughly. Check for:
- Compatibility with the latest Oracle Cloud release
- Usability across different roles
- Functionality in all supported browsers
- Proper operation of interactive elements
Maintain Consistency
Use a standardized style guide to align your content. This should cover:
- Terminology
- Navigation instructions
- Error-handling steps
- Success criteria

Organization-Wide Implementation
Planning Your Rollout
Start by conducting discovery workshops to identify your organization’s specific needs and ensure they align with Oracle Cloud standards.
Break the rollout into smaller, manageable phases. Take into account factors like:
- Department priorities
- Complexity of processes
- Available resources
- Technical requirements
Set clear, measurable goals such as increasing user adoption, lowering support ticket volume, speeding up process completion, and cutting training costs.
User Communication Plan
Once your rollout plan is in place, effective communication becomes essential. Create a clear plan to keep stakeholders informed and engaged throughout the process.
Before launching, share regular updates on:
- The implementation timeline
- Anticipated benefits
- Training schedules
- Support resources available
Use a multi-level training approach to cater to different needs:
- Advanced training for department champions
- Process-specific guidance for team leads
- Role-based training for end users
Measuring Results
Track the success of your implementation using regular evaluations and measurable data. Focus on key performance indicators such as:
| Metric Category | What to Measure |
|---|---|
| User Engagement | Guide completion rates |
| Support Impact | Number of help desk tickets |
| Process Efficiency | Task completion times |
| User Satisfaction | Employee feedback ratings |
Gather insights through tools like in-app surveys, usage analytics, feedback sessions, and support ticket reviews. Use these findings to fine-tune your strategy.
Keep communication lines open for feedback and questions from employees. This helps maintain engagement and allows for timely adjustments to your approach.
Maintaining and Improving Results
Using Data to Improve
To enhance your guides, use data from your measurement efforts and keep refining based on key metrics. Focus on these areas:
| Metric Type | Data Points to Track | Action Items |
|---|---|---|
| User Behavior | Guide completion rates, drop-off points, time spent | Simplify sections where users struggle |
| Performance | Task completion times, error rates, help requests | Address common challenges to streamline tasks |
| Feedback | User ratings, comments, suggestions | Revise content based on user input |
| System Usage | Peak usage times, device types, browser preferences | Adjust delivery timing and format for better accessibility |
By monitoring these metrics, you can identify trends and improve your guides. Use methods like:
- Analyzing help desk tickets
- Comparing task completion times
- Observing department-specific engagement
- Evaluating survey feedback
These insights will help you address weak points and refine content to better meet user needs.
Updating Content
Once you’ve gathered and analyzed the data, update your learning materials to stay aligned with current requirements.
1. Content Audits
- Review updates to Oracle Cloud applications.
- Ensure compliance requirements are current.
- Document any new features.
- Adjust workflows for departments as needed.
2. Version Control
- Keep track of all revisions.
- Document the reasons for changes.
- Record necessary approvals.
- Regularly review performance metrics.
3. Content Optimization
- Rework guides with low completion rates.
- Refresh visual elements for clarity.
- Add in-context help where applicable.
- Incorporate user feedback for better relevance.
Archive outdated materials for historical purposes and set automated reminders for future reviews. By documenting all updates – tracking revisions, noting rationales, and recording approvals – you can maintain a system that supports ongoing Oracle Cloud adoption and effectiveness.
Next Steps
With your implementation process in place, it’s time to focus on refining and fine-tuning your deployment steps.
