Working With Navigation Collections

Campus Solutions delivers navigation collections on the Campus Solutions Administrator homepage. Previously, you can navigate to Campus Solutions components using the classic hierarchical menus. With PeopleTools 8.55, the default interface is PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface, and in Fluid the menus have been replaced with tiles and homepages.

Navigation collections are sets of links that allow you to quickly access various components within Campus Solutions. These links facilitate the performance of business processes within your organization.

The primary users of Navigation Collection tiles are school administrators. System administrators can modify a Navigation Collection tile to include links to any component or page in Campus Solutions.

To publish your own navigation collection or modify an existing one, use these instructions for:

  1. Creating or Editing a Navigation Collection

  2. Creating Folder Definitions for the Navigation Collection

  3. Creating or Editing Homepages

Understanding Folders and Content References

Every component delivered with PeopleSoft applications is registered as a content reference in the portal registry. Common administrative tasks include adding, deleting, and renaming these definitions in the portal. In the portal registry, folders organize content references into a multilevel hierarchy. A folder can contain content references and other folders. When you create folder definitions, you explicitly configure the properties, attributes, and position of the folder in the hierarchy. The portal uses your configurations to create the menu structure

For information on folder and content reference administration, seePeopleTools: Portal Technology, Administering Portals.

The Campus Solutions Administrator homepage contains these sample navigation collections.
