Setting Up Related Content
Configuring related content is a common task. You use the same PeopleTools pages and methodologies as on any other PeopleSoft application system. However, with unified navigation, you have additional options for defining remote resources as related content as well as configuring related content for content references on content provider systems.
Once unified navigation has been configured to incorporate one or more content provider systems, you have expanded options for configuring related content including:
Creating related content services in the designated portal system using the either local or remote content references.
Creating related content services in the content provider system using content references local to that system.
Assigning local (to the portal system) or remote content references (from a content provider system) as related content services (or related actions) to content references on the portal system.
Assigning local (to the content provider system) or remote content references (from a different content provider system) as related content services (or related actions) to content references on the content provider system.
For example, this would allow you to assign the content reference for employee expenses from PeopleSoft FSCM to the content reference for employee information from PeopleSoft HCM.
