Oracle Fusion/Cloud Work Area

   It is a smart UX design concept “Make it easier for the user is core motive behind this” . A work area comprises the complete set of tasks, searches, reports, embedded analytics, and other related content of the business process that a user needs to accomplish a business goal. The scoping a work area starts with identifying a set of user roles and tasks related to business processes intended to complete in the certain work area. The primary criterion for combining tasks into a single work area is that users should not have to navigate back and forth among multiple work areas to accomplish a particular business process.

   The Role to the function/task mapping concept makes it easy. If Timekeeper wants to review/audit the timesheet using a report and wants to correct those then both access are available in same work area it would be easy for the user.

Example, a timekeeper task of auditing a timesheet, change the cost allocation, verifying paycheck etc. is a daily business activity is centered on accomplishing the same. These are functionally different tasks, each might be placed in a different work area; however, this would require the timekeeper to switch among multiple work areas to perform their business activities. By integrated these task into a single work area to streamline users' work which accomplishes a business goal quicker with pleasant application experience.
