Introduction

Oracle Fusion’s Redwood Journeys just got more insightful! 🎯
Imagine being in a workflow where you’re supposed to take action—but wouldn’t it be so much better if you could first see what your manager or another stakeholder had already submitted? That’s exactly what this new feature offers: viewing the preceding completed task while performing the current one.

Yes, no more jumping to custom reports or asking your admin to send screenshots—it’s all embedded inside the Redwood Journeys UI.

Real-World Use Cases 💼

1️⃣ Procurement Scenario

An employee fills out a questionnaire listing their laptop and accessory needs.
When the IT Admin begins the next task, they can view the employee’s submitted answers directly from the journey task UI.

2️⃣ Probation Feedback Acknowledgment

A line manager completes a feedback questionnaire for an employee on probation.
When the employee starts their acknowledgment task, they can view the feedback task that the manager had completed earlier.
