 <\/p>\n

Enhanced Intuitive & Interactive User Interface<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In <\/span>People tool<\/span> 8.59, PeopleSoft delivered a new homepage user interface that is very interactive and easy to use. Users can navigate the system very easily. Now, Global search appears on top of the homepage in the <\/span>center<\/span> of the header, and <\/span>favorites<\/span> and most recently visited items can be accessed through the left sidebar with one click. Navigation Panel displays on the <\/span>right-hand<\/span> side of the homepage itself.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enhanced Homepages<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Updates to the user interface in <\/span>PeopleTools<\/span> 8.59 include enhancements to the Homepage as well as Menu and Content Search features like Real-Time Indexing, Quick Access Bar, Notifications Panel, and the <\/span>NavBar<\/span> & Menu. With these enhancements, the search can now be the primary means of navigation in your PeopleSoft systems. On the homepage, <\/span>you\u2019re<\/span> able to <\/span>utilize<\/span> the quick access bar on the left which <\/span>provides<\/span> one-click access to your <\/span>favorites<\/span> and most recently visited items<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Real-Time indexing<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The PTPORTALREGISTRY search index (the Menu category in the Global Search bar) now incorporates elements of the full navigation path and search keywords along with the menu item label and description. Combined with site-wide synonyms, search becomes a powerful tool for quickly finding and navigating to menu items in the PeopleSoft System.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Quick Access Bar<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Recently visited and favorites items can be accessed by the left side bar or Quick access bar. On desktop browsers and device widths greater than 680 pixels, the quick access bar is displayed on the left. On a smartphone in portrait orientation, it is displayed at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n
