Strategy Spotlight– As the calendar year draws to an end, we have a number of new enhancements that are being added to our product roadmap. As each enhancement gets targeted to a future image for delivery, you will find a summary of each feature on the Product Roadmap page on peoplesoftinfo.com. Some of the new features under consideration include: allowing employees to enter preferred or chosen names, benefits administrator’s ability to close out unfinished life events, fluidizing the employee self-service Form 1042-S and 1099-R for Payroll, customer requested enhancements to the Fluid timesheet, ability for managers to use delivered direct access types to access time reporters in their self-service time pages, and new team calendars for administrators, business partners, and proxies. Many of these enhancements originated from the Ideas Space on My Oracle Support. We encourage customers to use the Ideas Space to vote for existing ideas and create new ones of their own for roadmap consideration.
