Tiles, Homepages, Dashboards, Nav Collections and Fluid WorkCenters, oh my!

For many organizations who try to "go Fluid," the lack of breadcrumbs seems to turn into a deal-breaker for both IT and business users. This presentation and demonstration will discuss how and why to create the critical elements of fluid navigation – navigation collections, tiles, and homepages, dashboards, configure delivered WorkCenters – to make users happily abandon the standard classic navigation whenever possible. Oh, and don’t forget, since Oracle is giving up on it, you have no option but to move on, if you want to catch up to the latest PeopleTools version (8.58). You’ll learn why you need to be thinking about Fluid Navigation and how to design it for YOUR organization. And in the end, no discussion about introducing a paradigm shift can end without talking about Change Management, and how to better prepare for your transition away from Classic Navigation.

Attendees will learn how to create fluid navigation elements, including navigation collections, tiles, and homepages, dashboards, WorkCenters etc.

Attendees will learn tips, tricks, and how to avoid "gotchas" for working with fluid navigation.

Understand how to make the transition and manage the change.

Ilynx was hired by a customer to modernize their Physical Inventory process. The objective was to utilize the latest cutting edge technologies and solve the following issues.

-Poor UI experience for Inventory Clerks
-Data integrity issues due to manual file movements/data manipulations
-Reliance on custom 3rd party software solutions
-Process inefficiencies – paper-based processes
-Unsupported systems
-Difficulty with audit traceability for transactions

Ilynx implemented PeopleSoft Fluid Physical Inventory and coupled it with best in class scanning equipment to create a streamlined solution that solved the current problems. The project was a huge success and not only transformed the Asset tracking process but also marked the agency's first step into using PeopleSoft fluid capabilities with mobile devices.  The work required for mobile security laid the groundwork for adopting additional mobile applications.

PeopleSoft Financials 9.2. delivers a method for sending vouchers through definable workflow.  However, it is limited when trying to utilize a Signature Authority Matrix. 

Utilizing delivered Voucher Workflow functionality, we added another layer of innovation that allows the AP Associate to SELECT the first level approver.  If the approver doesn't have appropriate signature authority, the voucher will route to the next level until signature authority has been met. 

This allows the AP Associate the flexibility to route the voucher to the appropriate approver, regardless of Department, type of invoice/vendor, or amount. 

Review delivered AP Workflow Approval Setup and how it works.  Explain how the delivered workflows were restricting us in AP for Approvals. 

Review Signature of Authority Matrix and how it can relate to your company.  Explain concepts behind this method of approval levels and what it takes to implement it. 

Demonstrate setup and configuration for Voucher Workflow, modifying the voucher page, building View tables and SQL to pull it all together.
