Session Description:

This is the Demo Segment of the presentation. You may also view the complete Powerpoint for Segment 1.


This session will show you how to quickly create simplified Quick Entry pages in your pre-9.1 application that use all the great user interface features of PT 8.5, and update the delivered components, without modifying delivered objects. At the same time, you can streamline the user entry process by using only the fields you need, adding custom edits, and even workflow. For example, instead of modifying delivered Job Data to enable type ahead lookups and scrollable grids, you can create a Quick Job Data page that has the Job Data fields you need, with performance-enhancing PT 8.5 features. Users make their changes in the friendly Quick Job Data page, and the transaction is automatically entered in delivered Job Data - without customizing any delivered objects!


We will use GT eForms™ 2.8, Gideon Taylor's bolt-on efficiency toolset for PeopleSoft, to show how quickly you can leverage PeopleTools 8.5 to bring new life to your 8.4, 8.8, 8.9 or 9.0 applications - and even get more value from 9.1. Your customers are going to love the total makeover you can give their PeopleSoft experience!
