PeopleSoft Student Systems – Fluid Navigation

What is Fluid?

• A different method of navigation within PeopleSoft using Homepages and Tiles instead of breadcrumbs
• It is dynamic – it allows the PS application to scale pages from large devices (laptops/desktops) down to smaller devices such as tablets and smartphones. Making PeopleSoft more mobile friendly

 

Why is this important?

• With the widespread use of mobile devices, it is essential to make PeopleSoft mobile friendly.
• Oracle support for classic navigation has ended.
• CSU campuses are required to implement Fluid Homepages and Navigation.

 

Fluid Navigation vs Classic

• The old Classic navigation uses the breadcrumb menu model which has a deep hierarchy
• Fluid allows multiple navigation options to access both Fluid and Classic pages
  • Homepages
  • Tiles (house navigation collections)
  • NavBar
  • Recent Places
  • My Favorites
  • Navigator (full navigation menu)
  • Classic Home nav link (Not supported by Oracle in PeopleTools 8.59)

Homepages

• Fluid Nav starting point
• Users can have multiple homepages
• Default homepage is displayed first after logging in

 

NavBar

The Menu tile in the NavBar opens ALL components that you have access to, just like the “Main Menu” in the previous version.
