A Refreshed Look: Fluid Prompt Page Enhancements
The Fluid prompt page is an integral part of the PeopleSoft experience, helping users search for and retrieve critical information. With this latest update, PeopleSoft has optimized the prompt page’s design, making interactions with search criteria simpler and less intrusive.

Now, the search criteria are automatically collapsed by default. This cleaner interface improves readability and reduces unnecessary clutter.

3. Quick Access to Search Operators
When users need to refine their search, they can simply expand the search criteria section and select the “Show Operators” link. This allows access to additional search operators, enabling more precise filtering without adding to the visual complexity of the page.

Enhanced Customization Options
Recognizing the diverse needs of its user base, PeopleSoft has provided new options to control the behavior of the Fluid prompt page at both a system level and a user level.
System-Level Control
Administrators now have more control over the default settings of the Fluid prompt page, thanks to two new personalization options available in PeopleTools. These options let administrators set a baseline for how the search criteria and operators appear, ensuring consistency across the organization. With these new settings, administrators can enable or disable features like auto-collapse and define if search operators should display by default. This provides a streamlined experience, especially beneficial for organizations that want standardized configurations across their user base.
User-Level Personalization
In addition to system-level settings, end users can further personalize their interaction with the Fluid
prompt page through the “My Preferences” page. This flexibility allows individual users to decide whether they prefer the search criteria to auto-collapse or if they’d like the search operators to be visible by default. This level of customization enhances user satisfaction by adapting to each user’s specific workflow preferences, making PeopleSoft even more intuitive and accessible.
Behavior Overview: Customizing the Search Experience
PeopleSoft’s new options for Fluid prompt pages ensure that users can tailor their search experience to best suit their needs. Here’s a quick look at the settings available:
- Auto-Collapse: By default, the search criteria are collapsed, but this can be toggled off based on user preferences.
- Search Operators Visibility: Users can set search operators to display automatically, providing immediate access to advanced filtering options without any additional clicks.
These personalization features allow users to see the search criteria automatically expanded on the Fluid prompt lookup page, with extra operators visible in search reader mode. However, if the system-level settings override these preferences, the search criteria remain expanded, and the operators are displayed as a changeable dropdown list. This ensures consistency in cases where specific organizational needs dictate certain display settings.

How this Update Enhances the User Experience
By focusing on customization and ease of use, PeopleSoft’s Fluid prompt page enhancements aim to make workflows smoother and more efficient. Users can now enjoy a clean, uncluttered interface that only shows what’s necessary, and administrators can ensure these settings meet the organization’s standards.
In a nutshell, this release brings significant value to both end users and administrators, creating a more adaptable and user-friendly environment within PeopleSoft. The added flexibility in personalizing the default behavior of the Fluid prompt search criteria ensures that each user, whether an administrator or an end user, can interact with the system in a way that best meets their needs.
As PeopleSoft continues to evolve, these enhancements mark a substantial step towards delivering a refined, modern experience that empowers users to work more efficiently.
