Advantages of PeopleSoft Navigator

PeopleSoft Navigator maps are organized by procedure. For example, the delivered navigation hierarchy for PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources Management is organized functionally: payroll-related pages appear under a different hierarchy than benefits-related pages. Using the PeopleSoft Navigator process-oriented organization, however, you might have a hiring activity that includes both payroll-related and benefits-related steps.

The PeopleSoft Navigator process orientation also provides a high-level view of the process, which helps you understand the overall flow of work in your organization. Unlike text and menu-based navigations, PeopleSoft Navigator displays graphical maps. These maps clarify relationships among the steps in a process and ease your navigation through sequential tasks.

Navigator maps can also show you any workflow notifications that are triggered by changes that you make on a page. Without PeopleSoft Navigator, you would not necessarily know when you trigger a workflow notification. A PeopleSoft Navigator map can clarify when a notification is sent.
