Designing PeopleSoft Landing Page

PeopleSoft Landing Page provides a tailored one-stop starting experience for every user and enables them to seamlessly navigate to relevant content and operational areas within the applications. This concept of a single landing page enables you to transition to a more simplified navigation paradigm, as an alternative to navigating across various traditional homepages, which are primarily role focused.

While a PeopleSoft Landing Page is a new and improved navigation concept, it is simply a homepage with sections, tiles, and additional styling taking advantage of the new layout and display capabilities offered through advanced sectionalized homepage development in PeopleTools 8.62. A landing page can be designed to present tailored content to the user based on their roles, recent activities, and so much more.

The development and design of PeopleSoft landing page is similar to the development of a sectionalized homepage, so you need to use the same pages (homepage CREF, tile CREF) in PIA that you have been using to create sectionalized homepages, section templates, and tiles. You can use styles and CSS variables for styling the homepage, sections, and tiles.

The following table lists the tasks that you need to complete and the corresponding documentation in the Online Help to guide you. It is not necessary to follow the sequence followed here because you may want to create your section templates first or create the tiles first. This table provides a high-level list of tasks that are typically needed to create a landing page.
