Understanding the Drop Zone Configuration Classes

Use the drop zone configuration classes of the PTCS_DROPZONE application package to manage the configuration of drop zones. A drop zone is special group box that is placed on a page definition in Application Designer. PeopleSoft application teams (PeopleSoft HCM, PeopleSoft FSCM, and so on) have already added drop zones to main pages, to subpages at any nesting level, and to secondary pages as is appropriate for components and pages delivered by that application pillar.

Then, you create custom subpage definitions to be associated with these drop zones. Typically, you then associate your subpages to one or more drop zones using the Configure Drop Zones component in the browser.

With the PTCS_DROPZONE application package, you can programmatically manage these associations of subpages to drop zones, such as creating new drop zone configurations, and updating and deleting existing configurations.
