Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicSetting the Default Style Sheet Definition

Access the PeopleTools Options page (PeopleTools, Utilities, Administration, PeopleTools Options).

The PeopleSoft system delivers various style sheets for use with PeopleTools and PeopleSoft Applications Portal. Style sheets control the various display elements of target pages and pagelets, and the overall branding of the portal. The Style Sheet Name field on the PeopleTools Options page stores a default style sheet name.

You can create your own style sheets and use one of them in place of the delivered style sheet by selecting it in the Style Sheet Name field on the PeopleTools Options page.

Note. You can also create your own alternate style sheet and have browser specific adjustments. Create an additional style sheet, including the adjusted styles, and define it with the exact same name with _ALT appended to it. For example, PeopleSoft Applications Portal sets the style sheet name in PSOPTIONS to EPPSTYLEDEF; therefore, EPPSTYLEDEF_ALT is automatically applied to alternate browsers.

Resource Finder

Enable Resource Finder

Select to use the Resource Finder feature.

Use Resource Finder for Profile Pages

Select to use Resource Finder participant profiles as the source for participant information for Collaborative Workspaces and Content Management.

In Collaborative Workspaces, these Resource Finder participant profiles will be used as the source for member profiles accessible from the Members module. When a user clicks a member name link in the Members module, the member profile that appears will be based on the member's Resource Finder participant profile.

In Content Management, these Resource Finder participant profiles will be used as the source for user profiles accessible by clicking user name links in the components. For example, fields such as Created By, Checked Out By, and so forth will contain user name links.

For this option to work as designed, you must have the following setup in place:

  • Resource Finder is set up and loaded with data.

    This setup includes the generation of associated Resource Finder search collections.

  • Resource Finder participants are loaded with their associated user IDs, where applicable, using the Load Participant User IDs Application Engine process (EPX_LOAD_OPR ).

    See Loading Participant User IDs.

If you leave this option blank, when a user clicks a member name link in the Members module, the member profile that appears will be based on information from these tables: PSOPRDEFN, PSUSEREMAIL, EPPCW_MEMBERS, and PS_EPPRC_IM_USERVW.

See Viewing Member Profiles.

See Enterprise Portal Resource Finder Overview.

Content Management

Image Attachment URL Path

Enter the web server’s relative or absolute URL of the extended path that will contain the image files from the FTP server.

Deselect this option to make all discussion forums appear regardless of the portal in which it was created. For example, if the user is in the Customer portal, then in the Discussions pagelet the user will see discussion forums created in the Customer portal, Employee portal, Supplier portal, and so on.

Collaborative Workspaces

Access the Portal and Security Defaults page (Portal Administration, System Data, Installation Options, Portal and Security Defaults).

Select the portal and security defaults for creating portal registry structures and define the user base role for your system.

Since the base user role on system items is secured by privilege sets, PeopleSoft recommends that you use the delivered role PAPP_USER. If you change the role name, you should also select the option to update the privilege sets on save.

Portal Registry Structures

Registry structures are the stored menu items, pagelets, templates, and such. Many features automatically create portal registry structures, including Pagelet Wizard pagelets, News Publication pagelets, Submitted Menu Items, Manage Navigation, and Shortcut Collections.

Registry Object Prefix

Enter a value to use as a prefix for all automatically created portal registry structures.

Note. This value allows easy identification of the objects that are in PeopleSoft Application Designer.

Menu Template Pagelet

Enter the menu template pagelet value that is to be used when rendering target pages by using Context Manager.

Note. PAPP_PT_NAVIGATION_SCR is the delivered default value. If you want to customize and use your own menu template pagelet, enter its value here.

Base Workspace Template Name

Select the portal registry template on which all Collaborative Workspace templates and their portal registries are based.

Base Wiki Space Template Name

Select the portal registry template on which all Wiki Space templates and their portal registries are based.

User Permission List

Select the permission list for users of the workspace. The delivered permission list is PAPP5300.

Administrator Role

Enables you to select a different role name that is automatically used as the workspace instance portal administrator. This role is granted to users who are listed as workspace managers.

See Understanding Workspace Privilege Sets.

User Base Role

Logged-In User Base Role

Select the role that enables access to the base objects in the PeopleSoft Applications Portal features that use privilege sets. The delivered role is PAPP_USER. Every user in the system, other than Guest, must be assigned this role along with the PeopleSoft User role.

Note. If you select a role other than PAPP_USER, make sure to select Update Privilege Sets on Save to automatically update the privilege set assignments to the new role.

Update Privilege Sets on Save

Select this checkbox to update all privilege set assignments to the base user role when you select Save. This option enables you to change the role name in the privilege set assignment for all the features that have the concept of privilege sets.

This enables you to use your own 'base' role instead of the delivered role. So, if you change your base role, it's not a customization. This setting lets you update all the privilege set assignments to your role. We deliver some system data using this role, but some of these privilege set assignments (like for discussions) are not accessible online.

Click to jump to parent topicEnabling the Signon PeopleCode

This section provides an overview of enabling the signon PeopleCode and discusses how to enable the signon PeopleCode in the Signon PeopleCode component (SIGNONPPC_PAGE_COM).

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Enabling the Signon PeopleCode

You must enable the signon PeopleCode to be able to view logon statistics on the User Logon Statistics pagelet. The portal administrator can add the User Logon Statistics pagelet to her homepage to provide convenient access to the number of users who log on to the portal during each month and the number of distinct user logons.

By enabling the signon PeopleCode, you enable the portal database to track and store user login information each time that a user logs on to the portal. Portal administrators can view this data to obtain statistics about portal traffic and which users are contributing to the traffic. Data that is viewed can pertain to which users log on to the portal, along with logon statistics for the months of the year, days of the month, and hours of the day.

When using pagelets and pages, the tracking of user logon times is recorded in minute increments. If a user logs out and then logs back in within the same minute, that login instance is not recorded. But if a user logs in and then logs out, and then, one minute from the time that the user originally logged in, the user logs in again, that login instance is recorded.

Note. The distinct number of users eliminates the counting of the same user logging on to the portal more than once during the specified period. For example, if 30 logons access the portal during one day but 10 are the same user, then the number of distinct users for that day is 21.

Click to jump to parent topicSetting Up MCF For PeopleSoft Applications Portal

Special considerations exist when using the MCF with PeopleSoft Applications Portal. Typically, this feature is leveraged directly within a PeopleSoft application database, such as CRM, HCM, or SCM. If you use PeopleSoft Applications Portal to log on to these databases, then MCF-related content references must be modified in the PeopleSoft Applications Portal registry so that they point to your PeopleSoft application database, such as CRM.

Note. The PeopleSoft system delivers MCF-related content references in all databases as part of PeopleTools; therefore, as delivered, they point to components that are local to the PeopleSoft Applications Portal database.

To modify MCF-related content references:

  1. Go to PeopleTools, Portal, Structure and Content.

  2. Navigate to the content references.

    The content references follow this list.

  3. Change the Node Name value from Always use local to the appropriate content provider.

  4. Click Save.

The content references that need to be modified are.

The MCF is now able to access the setup that is performed in the content provider database.
