Configuring Pagelets
This topic discusses how to set up pagelets and group boxes as a System Administrator.
Note: In PeopleSoft Classic, My Work and Links are considered pagelets. In PeopleSoft Fluid, My Work and Links are considered group boxes. Within pagelets and group boxes are collapsible sections, such as Current Work and Exceptions. The name of a page may not follow this standard, because PeopleSoft Classic WorkCenters were created before PeopleSoft Fluid WorkCenters.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Configure Pagelets – WorkCenter/Dashboard Page.
![Configure Pagelets - WorkCenter/Dashboard page](img/i408397f1n-7ec3.png)
Use this page to add or maintain the configuration of Classic pagelets, Fluid group boxes, or both. You can determine if the configuration is to be used in a Classic WorkCenter, Fluid WorkCenter, or Classic Dashboard, by entering the menu item in which the WorkCenter or Dashboard should appear.
Create one configuration ID for each combination of Classic WorkCenter, Fluid WorkCenter, and Dashboard for your organization.
Each menu item cannot be associated with more than one configuration ID:
Classic WorkCenter menu items are defined in the Manage WorkCenter Pages component.
Fluid WorkCenter menu items are defined using the PeopleTools Structure and Content page.
Classic Dashboard menu items are defined in the Portal as Homepage tabs.
Note: The data that is entered using this page can also be loaded as an Application Data Set using the Data Migration Workbench.
