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
