A navigation collection in PeopleSoft is a structured tool designed to organize and simplify access to portal content based on user needs. It allows users or groups to navigate to relevant information quickly by creating custom collections of links, which group together specific content references and folders from the PeopleSoft portal registry. These collections do not store content directly but rather serve as pointers that generate URLs at runtime, ensuring users are directed to the latest content versions.
Key features of navigation collections include flexible publishing options—such as deploying them as navigation pages or pagelets, or within dashboards and WorkCenters—making it adaptable to various use cases. Navigation collections can be further enhanced using “fluid” UI for improved mobile accessibility, integrating seamlessly with PeopleSoft’s fluid interface.
Each navigation collection can be customized with icons and images to create a visually organized experience, supporting ease of use for administrators and end-users alike. By utilizing navigation collections, organizations can empower functional administrators to create task-oriented navigation pathways, improving productivity and making essential content easier to access for various user roles within PeopleSoft.
Navigation collections provide an easy way to access the pages (contents stored in our portal registry) of PeopleSoft in one place.
