Understanding Page and Field Configurator
PeopleSoft Page and Field Configurator feature enables the users to define properties of pages and fields of Classic and Fluid pages based on their business requirements. You can define multiple configurations for a component based on different user roles. You can define multiple criteria based on the component fields and system variables and selectively apply the configuration at run time if the criteria is satisfied based on the run time values. Page and Field Configurator also enables you to mask data in pages and search fields and track a history of changes to specific fields on specific pages.
For an overview of Page and Field Configurator, you can view the following Video Feature Overview (VFO): PeopleSoft Page and Field Configurator
Page and Field Configurator delivers the following configuration types: Standard, Masking, and Change Tracking. Each configuration type provides a unique set of capabilities and configuration properties for pages and fields.
You define the configuration type using the Page and Field Configurator - Add a New Value page.

Standard Configuration
Using Standard configuration, you can hide a field or page, change the label of a field, add a default value to a field, make the field or page read-only, or mark the field as mandatory without having to customize delivered application pages. It also permits the user to verify the configuration against the underlying page metadata.
