Understanding PeopleSoft eBill Payment Pagelets
PeopleSoft eBill Payment provides portal pagelets for corporate intranet or extranet home pages. These pagelets provide access to key data and transactions within PeopleSoft eBill Payment for use in customer portal registries.
You can personalize the portal home page by adding the pagelets that users need. Standard PeopleSoft role-based security ensures that users can access only the pagelets appropriate to their roles.
You can configure the portal home page with three narrow columns or one narrow and one wide column. Some pagelets have both a narrow and a wide version, each with its own object name. When you see two object names for a pagelet, the first one refers to the narrow version.
Some pagelets support personalization; the Personalize button in the pagelet title bar alerts you to this capability. Click the button to access the personalization page.
You can also design your own pagelets when your installation includes PeopleSoft Applications Portal.
Similar to page access, you control pagelet security at the component level by associating it with a permission list (which is then associated with a role); each pagelet has its own component to enable more granular access. (You can ascertain a pagelet's component name in PeopleSoft Application Designer by searching for definition references to the page's system, or object name.)
PeopleSoft groups pagelets into functional roles as an example of how to organize access. You must create the proper permission lists and associate them with actual role definitions before users can access them, or use the permission list definitions that PeopleSoft provides its delivered sample data. PeopleSoft delivers sample data security objects (roles and permission lists) that you can use as an example of how to set up pagelet access.
