Web Applications Desktop Integrator (WebADI) is a self-

service Oracle application accessed using a browser. The
WebADI software does not need to be installed on individual
client machines. Processing takes place on the server rather
than on individual client PCs. Web ADI generates Microsoft
Excel or Word documents on your desktop, and uploads the
data you have selected to upload. The appearance of the
spreadsheet or word processing document is determined by
configurable layouts. System administrators can restrict the
fields that end users work within the spreadsheet, and can
create different layouts for different users. Experienced users
can also create their own layouts to include just the fields
they need to work with.

Business Requirement (to understand web

adi)
To create a sample Wed ADI let’s assume that we have a
business requirement to enter the out of office (ooo) contact
details for employee. This ooo contact detail is stored in Extra
person information window.  Following are the three
mandatory fields that need to be stored for an employee
before going on leave.
