Descriptive flexfields can be configured to include global and context segments, as well as display properties and validation methods. A descriptive flexfield can be associated with multiple tables, referred to as flexfield usages. This configuration applies to all flexfield usages. You can create a flexfield by referring to the Oracle Fusion Applications’ Manage Descriptive Flexfields task.

Using the context sensitive attribute, you can assign a label to a BI-enabled segment. The value column of the flexfield should be a translated attribute, while the ID column should be a non-language-dependent attribute. The ID column will store a value’s invariant ID in the transaction table, and the runtime will use this to display the translated text. Oracle Fusion applications developer’s guide provides more information about creating a multi-language flexfield.

A descriptive flexfield requires context-sensitive segments. The context-sensitive segments must have identifying information and the column assignment. A contextual value set must contain validation and initial default values. Some extensible flexfields have the Translatable option. A context can have translations for different languages, as well as global values for the entire database. If you’re using a flexfield to collect data about a specific country or region, it’s a good idea to use a context with this option.

To define a descriptive flexfield for a trading partner item, go to Manage Descriptive Flexfields. Then, click on the ‘+’ icon to define the context values associated with the trading partner item. This step is crucial to creating the right DFF for a particular flexfield. If you’re unsure about the context value, you can choose a default value or enter a custom one.

When you create a descriptive flexfield, you can choose to include existing properties or create a new one. To make sure that your flexfield contains the desired data, you can add it to a sandbox. When you’re done, you can then deploy it to your full test environment. Then, you’re ready to deploy your new DFF.

If you’re unsure about the process of creating descriptive flexfields in Oracle Fusion Cloud, you can use a guide that will show you the steps. Besides defining the attributes and data structures of your DFF, you can also create a flexfield using Oracle Business Intelligence. This way, you can use your new DFF in business intelligence applications.

After you’ve defined the attributes, you can choose a theme for your DFF and set the display of your fields. You can then customize the overall design of your web page. Lastly, you can add or remove fields and even reorder them. Creating a DFF is very easy and quick, and you can start using it today. Just follow these instructions!
