PeopleTools 8.59 | Exploring Search & Navigation Features

Both administrators and base users always face the compelling need of going to and fro from various navigations to the other according to their requirements. PeopleTools 8.59 had introduced several enhancements to the Search Framework, which makes a compelling case for customers to adopt a search-centric navigation experience.

 

Add a visible search bar at the top

  • The top center of the Peoplesoft application contains the search bar for searching any keywords or transactions.

Real-time Indexing

  • The user gets keyword matches from the recently visited history of pages, which are always classified on the top as can be seen in the figure below.
  • We get abundant suggestions with a combination of both user input and other users’ recently accessed functionalities.
