Using the PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface to Perform Manager Tasks

The My Team pages allow managers to see at a glance a broad range of human resources information for their direct line reports, including job information, contact information, leave balances, performance data, and compensation data.

For information about who is considered part of a manager’s team, see Understanding Direct Reports.

Note: My Team uses the Direct Reports Transaction Configuration Page to set the access type and determine whether to show empty position, combine partials, and include contingent workers. No other configuration settings are used.

For general information about fluid pages in PeopleSoft HCM, see Understanding PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface Homepages.

The following videos provide an overview and demonstration of the PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface:

The PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface provides a scatterplot chart that enables managers to view compensation vs. performance data for their team members. This page populates the scatterplot chart with the current compa-ratio and the current overall performance evaluation rating of your direct reports. Direct reports that do not have a performance evaluations will not appear on this chart.

Note: Employees must have a performance rating that uses the default document type in order to appear on the chart. The system uses the document type linked to the My Team transaction, as specified on the Assign Document Defaults Page, when retrieving the most recent performance rating. If the administrator has not associated a document type with the My Team transaction on the Assign Document Defaults page, the My Team page will not display the Analytics tab, since the system will have no way of knowing which document type to look for when retrieving performance documents.

Note: To provide pivot charts with the most up-to-date information, you should periodically access the Direct Reports Tables Build Page to run the direct reports process. This process populates direct report flat tables corresponding to each access type. The pivot chart selects data from flat tables through PSQuery.

This page displays those employees that are part of the reporting structure you selected on the My Team – Summary Page. When a manager has multiple jobs, the system will show direct reports of the selected job record.

Hover over a data point to view the performance rating, name, and compa-ratio associated with the data point.

The grid below the chart displays the following information:

  • The employee name and ID.

  • The related actions icon, from which you can access and perform manager self-service transactions.

  • The employee’s current job data, including the department, job code, salary, currency, and compa-ratio.

  • The last performance review scores.

Click a data point in the chart to display only that person’s data in the detailed grid at the bottom of the page. Click elsewhere on the pivot grid to once again show all employees for that team.

If you do not select any check boxes within a filter category, the chart will display all criteria that applies within the category.
