Redwood User Experience

Oracle — a global leader in providing the new-age solutions across various industries — has a rich history of innovation proven through its extraordinary Oracle energy and water products. Their sole mission is to empower businesses and help them thrive amidst tough competition. Offering seamless ERP solutions through cloud computing, artificial intelligence and data analytics, Oracle helps businesses streamline their operations.

Redwood, Oracle’s next-gen user experience, was launched in June 2020. Introducing a shift in Oracle’s previous design philosophy, Redwood aims at enhancing user efficiency and experience.

What is Oracle Redwood?

The newest innovation of Oracle energy and water products is Oracle Redwood Experience. It embodies a unified design philosophy, which enables its seamless integration into the interface, to ensure a consistent and intuitive user experience.

Oracle Redwood User Experience provides a superior platform in contextual information delivery. By delivering the right information at the right time, it ensures the user makes informed decisions as quickly as possible.

The Redwood is not just a new look and feel; it offers an efficiency-driven screen design. This helps to minimize the clutter, increase productivity, and speed up the workflow. The seamless integration of Redwood with Oracle cloud services enables users to access real-time critical data and analytics.

Features of Oracle Redwood

Redwood was initially offered as an option, allowing users to try out and adapt to the new setting. In the long run, Oracle plans to completely remove the legacy user experience and offer a dynamic and efficient user experience to their customers through further transitions made in the Redwood user experience.

Let’s explore some of the key Redwood features that have helped enhance the user experience:

• For starters, this new user experience by Oracle offers a new style sheet, color palette, list of icons and fonts. The icons are currently available in SVG format, which provides better support for different types of screen resolutions. It has been integrated into Oracle’s icon library, which is accessible through all Oracle products.
• The application toolbar gets a makeover altogether. It has been redesigned both for better usage and consistency across all products included in Oracle’s portfolio.
• Integrating a global search tool allows users to search on the go and access information quickly. Every individual product offers prebuilt searches, including hints and help backed by a search assistant.
• Offering more flexibility, the zone layout feature in Redwood, includes both flexible vertical and horizontal control for better content visualization.
• More options of dashboard personalization offer a dynamic and far more flexible support including better location configuration.
• Created to be more efficient, the Redwood experience focuses on minimizing mouse mileage — the screens and layouts are designed in a way that does not require much movement to navigate.
• The new support features include markers and inclusion of additional information into a log. This helps in resolving issues faster and more efficiently.
• The new user experience has employed new ways of exposing data in an innovative and efficient manner by introducing two new web components: Insights and Trees. It also supports insight visualizations appearing in the form of badges, inline, lists and cards.
• Integration of the new Redwood experience allows for a badge to be added on the top screen. This helps create a clear distinction between environments.

All the features of the Redwood Experience are currently optional, with the vision that the legacy experience will be discontinued in the long run. However, to make Redwood more efficient and user-friendly, frequent experimentations and transitions are in process. Customers who want to temporarily opt-out of switching to the Redwood experience, can reach out to Oracle Support Portal to find the best Oracle solutions.
