Working with Global Search

Global search is available wherever you are working in the PeopleSoft system: on fluid homepages, fluid application pages, classic application pages, and classic homepages.

Working with the Global Search Bar

The Global Search bar is open by default on fluid homepages. On smartphones, and non-small form factor devices, when the browser width is too small and does not permit display of the global search bar, global search appears as an icon. Click the Global Search button in the banner to reveal the global search bar.

When displayed on fluid dashboards and transaction pages, the Global Search bar is muted and is activated when selected.

When you click in the keyword input field, search suggestions are displayed immediately. As you type, the suggestions are updated to reflect the search term or terms you have entered. Click a search suggestion, either recently visited or any other suggestion, to navigate directly to that item.
