We have now configured our message that we will use to create our short and long tip personalizations.

Adding a short tip type

We are now going to create a personalization that will add a short tip to a self-service screen. The short tip called XX_ABS_TYPE_ST will reference the message that we have just created.

1. Log in to Oracle with XXUSER and select the XxResp responsibility.

3. Click on the Action item.

12. Click on the Return to Application link.

How it works...

We can see that the message is displayed as a tip underneath the Absence Type field as shown in the following screenshot:

We are now going to create a personalization that will add a long tip to a self-service screen. The short tip will reference the message we have just created called XX_ABS_TYPE_LT. We will see the difference between the tips we have created and how they are displayed on the screen.

How to do it...

12. Click on the Return to Application link.
