Oracle recently released an Image Update for PeopleSoft HCM. PeopleSoft HCM Image Update 27 brings several new features and functionality to PeopleSoft HCM. This includes changes to Company Directory; Fluid Updates to Time and Labor; Data Privacy enhancements and more. Here are the highlights of PeopleSoft HCM Image Update 27.

PeopleSoft HCM Company Directory – Org Chart Actions

The PeopleSoft HCM Company Directory feature delivers new enhancements for the Org Chart Viewer. The page still displays the three-tiered hierarchical chart, but now the third row wraps the direct reports list when more than four employees are listed. In previous versions, when the View Peers functionality was enabled, all peers of the person in the focus node would appear in the second tier. Now, with View Peers enabled, you have the choice to display the peers of the person. The application also enables desktop users to export and print the organization chart.

The Weekly Time Entry page allows time to be populated from their schedule from the previous week or manually. For a punch time reporter, the system time is recorded with every punch on the updated report time page.
