The PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface

Oracle’s PeopleSoft has two user interfaces:

• PeopleSoft Classic User Interface, which was designed to be used on a laptop and desktop.

  This interface was previously known as PIA (PeopleSoft Internet Architecture).

• PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface, which was designed to be used on mobile devices, but can also be used on a laptop and desktop.

  Oracle delivers fluid pages for a variety of PeopleSoft HCM self-service transactions.

Fluid mode is enabled in web profiles. If fluid mode is not enabled, fluid pages and content references throughout the system are not enabled. Users can still access the classic versions of pages that have both classic and fluid versions, but transactions that exist only as fluid components are not accessible. If fluid mode is enabled, an additional web profile setting controls whether fluid mode is available on desktop devices as well as mobile devices. On desktop devices, fluid pages appear only if the browser supports the PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface. Users with older browsers see only classic pages even if fluid mode is enabled for desktop devices.
