Using PeopleSoft Classic Plus
PeopleSoft Classic Plus has replaced the traditional PeopleSoft Classic User Interface as the standard user interface for PeopleSoft applications. PeopleSoft Fluid, introduced in PeopleTools 8.54, has co-existed with the traditional classic user interface in all PeopleSoft applications and will continue to do so. The introduction of Classic Plus is a step toward unifying the look of all pages, the "classic plus" feature allows reworked classic components to be displayed in a Fluid-like manner.
Beginning with PeopleTools 8.56, the pages contained within specific PeopleTools classic components have been reworked and delivered with a "classic plus" setting enabled. Most PeopleSoft pages have been reworked and are delivered with a fluid-like style. This Fluid-like style, for Classic pages, is determined at the PeopleTools level, on the Branding System Options page.
Note: The page controls on Classic plus pages resemble the page controls on Fluid pages. However, because these components and pages remain as classic definition, certain aspects of the PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface experience are absent, such as dynamic responsive rendering across all supported device types.
Note: Oracle highly recommends that you adopt the Classic Plus styling across your organization's applications. The styling combines the styling of PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface and brings continuity across applications. If you choose to stay on the Classic style, you may end up having to review and customize delivered pages for future images.
If you have not yet enabled the PeopleSoft Fluid UI, you may want to wait to implement Classic Plus.
If you have already adopted the PeopleSoft Fluid UI we highly recommend you adopt the Classic Plus styling as soon as possible to further enhance your user experience with the new styling approach for all your PeopleSoft components and pages
