Introduction
When working on Redwood personalisation for the Create or Edit Job Offer page in Oracle Recruiting Cloud, we usually open the page in Visual Builder Express from Settings and Actions > Edit Page in Visual Builder.
But sometimes, instead of loading the actual offer page, Visual Builder Express shows a warning message or incomplete page content.
In many cases, this happens because the page is missing the required context value: submissionId
In this blog, we will see how to capture the submissionId from the browser Developer Tools Network tab and pass it in Visual Builder Express Page Properties.
What Is the Issue?
When the Create or Edit Job Offer page opens in Visual Builder Express without the required submissionId, the page may not load correctly.
You may see a warning message or only partial content instead of the actual offer page.
In some cases, you may also see only a number displayed on the page instead of the actual offer page content.
This can stop you from continuing with personalisation activities such as configuring field rules, validations, visibility conditions, and preview testing.
Why Does This Happen?
The Create or Edit Job Offer page is a transaction-based page.
It needs to know which candidate submission or offer flow should be loaded. This context is passed through the page parameter: “submissionId“
If this value is not available, Visual Builder Express may not load the page with the correct offer context.
High-Level Prerequisites
Before starting, make sure:
- You have access to Visual Builder Express.
- You have access to the Oracle Recruiting Cloud offer page.
- A Visual Builder project or workspace is available.
- You are working with a valid candidate submission or job offer.
- You are using a browser where Developer Tools can be opened, such as Chrome or Edge.
Step-by-Step Guide to Capture and Pass the submissionId
Step 1: Navigate to the Candidate Offer Flow
Go to Oracle Recruiting Cloud and open the candidate record where you want to create or edit the job offer.
Navigate to the offer flow and open the Create or Edit Job Offer page.
Step 2: Open Developer Tools in Chrome
Before capturing the submissionId, open the browser Developer Tools.
In Chrome:
- Right-click anywhere on the page.
- Click Inspect.
You can also use:
“Ctrl + Shift + I” or"F12“
Once Developer Tools opens, you will see tabs such as Elements, Console, Sources, and Network.
For this activity, we need the Network tab.
Step 3: Go to the Network Tab
Click the Network tab in Developer Tools.
This tab shows the backend calls triggered when the application loads or when you perform an action.
Before loading the offer page, clear the existing network entries so the results are easier to review.
Step 4: Open or Refresh the Create or Edit Job Offer Page
Open the Create or Edit Job Offer page again, or refresh the page if it is already open.
As the page loads, Oracle Fusion will trigger multiple network calls.
Wait until the page completes loading.
Step 5: Search for Submission Details in the Network Tab
In the Network tab filter/search area, search using:
submission
This will help you identify the network calls related to candidate submission or offer details.
Select the relevant call and check the Preview or Response section.
Step 6: Identify and Copy the Submission Id
In the selected network call, look for:
SubmissionId
Copy the value.
Example format: 30000020XXXXX
Step 7: Open the Page in Visual Builder Express
Go back to the Create or Edit Job Offer page.
Open:
Settings and Actions > Edit Page in Visual Builder
The page will open in Visual Builder Express.
If the submissionId is not passed, you may see the warning message or incomplete page content.
Step 8: Click Set Page Properties
In Visual Builder Express, click Set Page Properties.
This option allows you to provide page-level parameter values required by the page.
Step 9: Enter the “submission Id“
In the Page Properties section, locate the parameter:
submissionId
Paste the value copied from the Network tab into this field.
Make sure there are no extra spaces.
Step 10: Verify the Page Again
Once the submissionId is entered, the page should load with the correct offer context.
The earlier warning or incomplete content should no longer block the page.
You can now continue with your Visual Builder Express personalisation activities, such as:
- Configuring fields and regions
- Setting visibility rules
- Making fields required or read-only
- Adding validations
- Testing the page in preview mode
Consultant Tip
Do not assume every warning in Visual Builder Express is a permission issue.
For transaction-based Redwood pages, the page may need runtime context to load correctly.
For the Create or Edit Job Offer page, the key context value is:
submissionId
Once this value is passed through Set Page Properties, the page can load correctly for personalisation and testing.
Where This Is Useful
This approach is useful when you are working on Oracle Recruiting Cloud Redwood personalisations, especially when you need to:
- Make offer fields required
- Hide or show offer fields based on business conditions
- Make fields read-only for selected users
- Add validations on offer fields
- Test business rules on the offer page
- Troubleshoot page loading issues in Visual Builder Express
Important Note
The submissionId is specific to the candidate submission or offer transaction you are testing.
If you test with another candidate or another offer, you may need to capture the relevant submissionId again.
When using screenshots in blogs or project documents, avoid showing the full transaction ID. Mask part of the value before publishing.
Example:
30000020XXXXX
Conclusion
Visual Builder Express is very useful for Redwood page personalisation, but transaction-based pages need the correct context to load properly.
For the Create or Edit Job Offer page, that context is the submissionId.
By capturing the SubmissionId from the browser Developer Tools Network tab and entering it in Set Page Properties, you can load the offer page correctly and continue with your personalisation activity.
This small step can save a lot of time when working with Oracle Recruiting Cloud offer page personalisations.
