Creating Life Event Descriptive Pages

These topics describe how to create life event descriptive pages.

Create life event descriptive pages to guide employees through the action items (pages) that they will need to complete for a self-service life event. After selecting a life event on the Life Event main page, the employee needs to follow a vertical pagelet containing action items to process the event. You can create descriptive Life Event pages such as a Welcome page to include a greeting, a brief description of the steps involved in this event, and any additional information the employee may want to read before proceeding to the actual event, or a custom Exit page to conclude the life event.
