PeopleSoft Pagelet Activation and Personalization

HCM Portal Pack includes portal pagelets that provide at-a-glance access to essential data from your system. The portal pack supplements other PeopleSoft HCM applications that provide the underlying data.

Home Page Personalization

When you install HCM Portal Pack, users can personalize their portal homepages by adding the pagelets that they need. Standard PeopleSoft role-based security ensures that users can access only the pagelets appropriate to their roles.

Users can configure their portal homepages with three narrow columns or one narrow and one wide column.

See Displaying Portal Pagelets.

Direct Report Access Types for Manager Pagelets

Each pagelet can be configured to use any of the HCM access types. PeopleSoft recommends using the same access type for each pagelet. This ensures consistency when managers of direct reports view the different pagelets to help improve performance. To set up the access type, access the Direct Reports Setup component by selecting Set Up HCM > Common Definitions > Direct Reports for Managers > Direct Reports Setup.

Pagelet Personalization

Some pagelets support personalization that enables individual users to configure content displayed in their pagelet.

To access personalization options, users click the Pagelet Settings icon in the pagelet title bar alerts you to this capability. The settings menu includes a Personalize choice if personalizations are available.
