Like most people I'm learning new things in Oracle Cloud EPM all the time. Many items (probably like this one) are most likely things that others have known for years and take for granted. Anyway, here is something I recently ran across that's a followup to my February 2025 post about migrating away from Financial Reporting.
Once all of the migration work is done for the reports, users should go to the Reports tab within the Reports card and not the Financial Reporting tab which unfortunately still shows.
The Financial Reports tab will be there until Oracle takes it away. Having it there may be a temptation for users to keep going there out of habit. We could delete the reports or change security to them all, but if they're needed during the first cutover close, either of those options would slow things down. So, here's an idea.
There's a menu item under the Tools cluster called Artifact Labels. This screen allows renaming practically anything. Well, at least within the web interface as the renaming occurs by browser language. The idea is for language translations or making something user friendly if the real label or name is cryptic.
So, go to Tools > Artifact Labels and click the Filter icon. From the extensive list (and you'll see you can rename just about everything), select Tab. Use the Add Language dropdown to select the desired browser language. Then scroll down to the Financial Reports line and enter the desired text and click Save.
When renaming a navigation flow item like this, closing the browser and logging back in may be necessary. But now, when a user goes into the Reports card, they see this.
The tab still works and the reports are all still there and work but hopefully the users get the hint.
For more extensive changes, create a line item like above and then export to CSV, make more changes, and then import as shown above with the Actions dropdown.
I'm thinking all of these renames could get out of hand but when used thoughtfully this is a great hidden gem of a feature.
