Managing Homepage Tabs through the Portal Registry

The portal registry provides a standard mechanism for creating and maintaining homepage tabs as content references. Managing homepage tabs in this manner allows you to create the tab, manage permissions for the tab, specify the pagelets and layout of the tab, and determine the order of the tabs.

PeopleSoft Interaction Hub is delivered with the following homepage tab definitions:

  • My Page – The My Page tab is the default homepage tab in PeopleSoft Interaction Hub.

    See My Page Homepage Tab.

  • Guest – Guest is a homepage tab that is configured for guest users.

    See Understanding Guest User Accounts.

  • My HR – My HR is a sample homepage tab that integrates content from PeopleSoft HCM, PeopleSoft CRM, and PeopleSoft Interaction Hub.

  • Administration – The Administration tab displays homepage pagelets for administrative tasks. The Administration tab is disabled by default.

    See Administration Homepage Tab.

The product documentation for PeopleTools provides more information on managing homepage tabs.
