Understanding the Universal Navigation Header

The universal navigation header is located at the top of your PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture page and remains static as you navigate through the pages.

This example shows the universal navigation header.

The universal navigation header contains these links:

Term	Definition
Favorites	The favorites list is like your own list of bookmarks to components and transaction pages that you use frequently. After you add a favorite, it appears in the Favorites menu. You can return to the page by clicking the Favorites menu and clicking the link for the page that you want to view. You can store favorites with a specific key, for example, if you consistently access the ABC department, then you can store a favorite that directly accesses the ABC department.
Main Menu	Click to access all folders, submenus, and content references.
Home	Click to return to your homepage.
Worklist	Click to access the Worklist page, which provides summary information about all items on your personal worklist. This page also provides links that enable you to view additional details about the work, perform the indicated work, and reassign work items. See Using Worklists to Receive Ad Hoc Notifications.
MultiChannel Console	If you are defined as an agent in PeopleSoft MultiChannel Framework, click to access and manage tasks assigned to you. This is an optional setting that your system administrator enables. If you do not have access to this feature, the system displays a warning message to that effect. See the product documentation for MultiChannel Framework.
Performance Trace	Click to monitor the performance of a business process that you typically complete. Because this is an optional setting that your system administrator enables using PeopleTools Security, it may not appear to all users.
Add to Favorites	Click to add the current page to your favorites list for easy accessibility.
Sign out	Click to sign out of the application and return to the Sign In page. Important: For security purposes, you should sign out when you are finished with your PeopleSoft session rather than simply closing the browser window. Other users could potentially access your cached homepage from another portal if you do not sign out properly.

Note:

Guest accounts do not have access to Favorites or Add to Favorites. You must have the appropriate security before you can access favorites.
