Dashboards and the Portal Registry

The Manager Dashboard and the Talent Summary dashboards consist of sets of pagelets that enables managers to quickly and easily view and update human resource and talent related information as needed.

Dashboard pages are PeopleSoft pages that aggregate and display pagelets that share common or similar purposes. Dashboards provide quick access to useful information by presenting concise but feature-rich pagelets to the user.

Dashboards are created and maintained in the Portal Registry.
