Understanding PeopleSoft Browser-Based
Applications
You use PeopleSoft applications in a purely internet environment called
PeopleSoft Pure Internet
Architecture.
PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture is a server-centric architecture that requires only
that a
web browser be installed on individual user machines.
The PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture is your window to PeopleSoft applications
as well as other web-
based applications and content. Within your browser, sign in to the PeopleSoft Pure
Internet Architecture as
you would when opening a website. The PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture uses a
dynamic drop-down
menu for navigation and a universal navigation header that includes these navigation
tools:
Home,Worklist,
MultiChannel Console, and Sign out.
This navigation header appears at the top of every page while you are
signed in.
Your PeopleSoft application is delivered with a demonstration database that includes
sample data to help you
see how the system works. You can also use the demonstration database to experiment
with specific
PeopleSoft applications. The PeopleBooks for the various applications frequently
refer to the demonstration
information to clarify concepts and provide a common frame of reference for
examples.

PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture Terminology


PeopleSoft applications are made up of a navigational structure, components (groups
of pages), and pages.
Using these elements, you can enter new data or change, delete, and modify existing
data in your application.
Using the PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture is similar to browsing web pages; it
provides a simple,
intuitive way of working with a database.
Here are some of the basic elements used in PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture:
Main Menu
This PeopleSoft navigation structure, located at the top of your page,
organizes and provides access to transaction pages from which you can
carry out actions and modify data. The Main Menu contains menu items;
some lead directly to transaction pages and some lead to submenus in a
hierarchical format.
Menu Pagelet
This PeopleSoft navigation structure, located to one side of your page,
organizes and provides access to transaction pages from which you can
carry out actions and modify data. The Menu pagelet contains links, some
leading directly to transaction pages and some leading to other links in a
hierarchical format.
Content Reference
A link in the menu that accesses a transaction page or group of pages. A
content reference is a reference to a URL for the transaction page.
Navigation path
The collective set of links that appear as you navigate the menu structure;
they indicate the hierarchical path to your current location.
Sometimes called breadcrumbs, they appear in the drop-down menu header
and in the navigation page header.
Keys
The fields, such as EmplID (employee identification), that uniquely identify
one row of data in a transaction. Keys appears as fields on search pages and
transaction pages. All information on a page is related to a key, which
usually appears at the top of the page and is display-only.
Component
The page or group of pages that appear when you perform a search.
Multiple pages in a component must share the same high-level key;
Page
The individual display and data-entry screens for each part of your
PeopleSoft application. Pages appear in the browser window
