Updating Activity Guide Data via PeopleSoft Update Images

Oracle may deliver new or updated activity guides in a PeopleSoft update image. When such an update is selected, all of the updated objects will be included in the change package.

Oracle recommends that you:

• Do not delete any PeopleSoft delivered objects.

• Restrict your changes to configurable fields specified for each definition because these configuration changes are preserved

• Avoid modification to any field that is in the non-reconcilable section because any modification to these fields is considered to be a customization and can be overwritten during an update.

The following table lists some of the configurable and non-reconcilable changes associated with an activity guide template.

Configurable Changes	Non-reconcilable Changes
Modifying the template or instance attributes such as the active setting, side panel setting, restart setting, notifications setting, the context data display option, the application package and method used to dynamically return a content URL to display additional information, and so on.	Changing the application package and application class for a navigation button.
Modifying the context field label, context field label visibility, context image application package details, and which context field is the primary field.	Changing the related content service for a delivered action item.
Modifying the label, active setting, or message set and number for a custom action button for a template or instance.	Modifying styles.
