Using the Open Enrollment Activity Guide
The Open Enrollment feature uses the PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface to provide employees with an open period every year to view and update their benefit plan choices. With the Open Enrollment Activity Guide, employees can view or modify their personal and dependant/beneficiary information, view a summary of their current benefits and a comprehensive list of plans available for enrollment, all from one location.
Once the employee accesses the Open Enrollment activity guide, the system displays a series of steps in the left panel with the corresponding page in the right panel, to direct the employee through the benefits enrollment process.
This topic provides an overview of the Open Enrollment tile and discuss the Open Enrollment activity guide steps.
The following table describes the activity steps that are delivered with the Open Enrollment template: ENROLLM.

The Open Enrollment tile is delivered as part of the Employee Self-Service Home Page, but the location can change if you change the delivered home pages or if employees personalize their home pages.
This example illustrates the Open Enrollment tile.

The Open Enrollment tile displays the date by which you have to complete your enrollment. The tile has a countdown timer which displays the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds to the Open Enrollment deadline.
Important! The system time and the My Preferences time (i.e. the time set in the Local Time Zone in ) must be set to the same time zone for the countdown timer to display accurately.
The default image on this tile is set as per the content reference definitions. For more information see, PeopleTools: Portal Technology, “Administering Content References”. This image can be customized using the Open Enrollment Definition - Fluid Activity Guide Tab.

Note: When an employee has only an Open Enrollment event active, the tile opens the Open Enrollment Activity Guide. But if an employee has more than one event (it could be an onboarding, family status change or an open enrollment event) active at the same time, and when he/she selects the Open Enrollment tile, the Benefits Enrollment Event Selection page (BNE_SEL_EVENT_FL component) opens listing the events. From this page, the employee can start the open enrollment event to go to the activity guide.
