PeopleSoft uses relational databases for organizing data efficiently. Relational
databases are used in a variety of contexts. As a result, relational database
terminology includes multiple expressions describing the same element or concept.
These terms are used when referring to the listed elements in PeopleSoft.

Step
2.
Action
Relational databases store data in tables. Tables are composed of rows and columns.
Here is an example of a table of data for pets that visit Shear Style, a pet grooming
business.

Training Guide
Enterprise FSCM 9.0 Fundamentals
Step
3.
Action
Each row provides information for a single entity, in this case, pets.
In the first row, you can see the pet's name is Duke, a Labrador Retriever owned by
Melissa Watkins. Duke is a large dog who tends to run away.

Each column details a particular characteristic of each pet. For example, the first
column indicates the Pet's Name, while the third column indicates the Owner's
Name.

Step
5.
Action
Shear Styles uses two additional tables in its database containing information related
to the Pet Table. These are the Customer Table and the Appointment Information
Table.
You can easily retrieve information from different tables in a relational database, in
the combination of your choice, using key fields.
Page 6
Training Guide
Enterprise FSCM 9.0 Fundamentals
Step
6.
Action
A key is a column or combination of columns that identifies a row of data as unique
in a relational database table. Business rules can impact the assignment of table
keys.
For example, because Shear Style has no customers with the same exact name, the
key field for the Customer Table is Owner Name. However, if this were not the
case, the combination of Owner Name and Phone may be needed to uniquely
identify a row of data in the Customer Table.

Action
Key fields are important identifiers in relational databases. They enable the user to
extract specific and exclusive information from the database. Although some
database systems may use terms such as "primary key" and "foreign key," these
terms are not used with PeopleSoft Enterprise applications.

Action
As the owner of Shear Style, you want to get the appropriate information you need
to mail each customer a reminder of his or her pet's next grooming appointment.
You want to include the client's name and address, the pet's name and breed, and the
appointment date. This information resides in three separate tables, but you can
select the data you want to see from each one.

PeopleSoft Internet Architecture structure provides "single signon" access, which
allows you to work in multiple PeopleSoft applications and databases without
having to sign out and sign in again. If your organization has not implemented single
signon, then the system prompts you to enter a user ID and password each time that
you access a different PeopleSoft application. Both the User ID and Password
fields are case sensitive.
Enter the desired information into the User ID: field. Enter "VP1".
3.
4.
Once you have typed in the user ID, you can type in the password. Notice that for
security purposes, when you type the password, it will be shown with asterisks. Also
note that passwords are case sensitive.
Enter the desired information into the Password: field. Enter "VP1".

If the information you entered is valid, the system will display the Home page for
your PeopleSoft system. This is the Home page for Enterprise Financials and
Supply Chain Management.
For security purposes, your PeopleSoft system logs you out of your application after
a period of inactivity determined by your security administrator. Two minutes prior
to your session timeout, the system provides a warning that your browser session is
about to expire.

You click the Home link to return to the Home page for the application.
3.
You use the Worklist link to display the Worklist page. A worklist is generated
when you're using a workflow-enabled application and is an organized list of work
items awaiting your attention. The Worklist page provides summary information
about all items on your personal worklist. This page also provides links enabling you
to view additional details about the work, navigate to pages where you can perform
the indicated work, and reassign work items.

When you click a component link, you will notice that the new transaction contains
the same component links, enabling you to return to the original transaction if
desired. The component or page in which you are working appears in black text and
is not underlined. Some applications may identify these related links in another way.
For example, you might see the phrase "Go to:" along with the related links at the
bottom of a page. You might also see a drop-down list box with "More," which
contains several more related transaction links.
18.
Just below the universal navigation header sits the pagebar, which is a series of
links and buttons. The availability of these options are controlled by the application
developer. All options may not be available for each component.
Step
19.
Action
You can use the New Window link to open a new browser window, or child
window. The new window shows the current component page as well as the
navigation to your current position. From this window, you can view or enter data.
You can open as many child windows as needed using the New Window link. Do
not use your browser's File, New, Window feature. Doing so copies the current
HTML from the parent window, instead of opening a new PeopleSoft-maintained
window session.

Understanding Keys
The fields that uniquely identify your data are called keys.
This topic discusses the use of keys in a PeopleSoft database.
Procedure
Page 46
Training Guide
Enterprise FSCM 9.0 Fundamentals
Step
1.
Action
A field or a combination of fields uniquely identifies every table in your PeopleSoft
database.
For example, the combination of SetID and Customer ID uniquely identifies a
customer record.
Page 47
Training Guide
Enterprise FSCM 9.0 Fundamentals
Step
2.
Action
The fields that uniquely identify your data are called the keys. To display a page,
you enter the key(s) to search for on the search page so that the system can retrieve
the correct row of data.
For example, if you want to view an expense report, you must specify or search for
the report by using a Report ID.
Page 48
Training Guide
Enterprise FSCM 9.0 Fundamentals
Step
Action
3.
A search record is the list of defined search keys that help you locate data. The
search keys are the fields you are prompted for on a search page. For example, you
can search for a customer by using one or a combination of the keys displayed here.
4.
Most transaction pages or components have search records associated with them. If
you select other pages that have a common search record, such as pages within a
component or an associated link, you won't be prompted to enter search criteria
again. You'll be prompted for new search keys only when you select a new page
outside of the component with a different search record.

You have successfully used several different kinds of data entry fields to update a
record in a PeopleSoft application.
25.
There is one additional type of field that was not used in the previous component.
Displayed here is the Product Definition component.
Long edit boxes are rectangular boxes into which you enter long text items, such as
comments. These boxes store free-form text fields. If you type more lines than you
can see at one time, use the scroll bar to the right of the box to move through text.
26.
In summary, PeopleSoft data entry fields provide you with a simple way to enter and
update data in your tables.
End of Procedure.
Page 79
Training Guide
Enterprise FSCM 9.0 Fundamentals
Step
Action
1.
Instead of using a traditional scroll bar to scroll through the rows of data in a grid,
PeopleSoft uses navigation buttons and hyperlinks. Most often, you will find these
buttons and hyperlinks in the navigation header for each area, with the exception of
the Insert Row and Delete Row buttons.
2.
The Customize link takes you to the customization page for that grid, which enables
you to sort by column, reorder columns, hide, and freeze columns.
3.
4.
The View All link displays all rows of data on a page. When this feature is enabled,
the link morphs to read View 1 so that you can return to the original setting.
5.
The Download button enables you to download the contents of a grid to a Microsoft
Excel spreadsheet.

7.
8.
The number system for the rows shows the number of rows you are currently
viewing.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
Grids look similar to a spreadsheet with column headings, rows, and cells. The
cells are equivalent to fields. Fields within a grid may be represented as edit boxes,
drop-down list boxes, check boxes, and radio or prompt buttons.
14.
Rows of data in both grids and scroll areas always share the same high-level key(s).
For example, for the Purchasing Kit Definition, you can have multiple rows with
different effective dates and statuses. If you have multiple rows, each of those rows
has the SetID and Purchasing Kit ID as key fields. If you insert a new row, the
system automatically copies the shared key data into the new row.
15.
Another type of grid is a tabbed grid. These provide a means of viewing multiple
columns of information without having a horizontal scroll to view them. The Bank
Accounts page has a tabbed grid section.

Enterprise FSCM 9.0 Fundamentals
Step
6.
Page 92
Action
Update/Display is used when retrieving or updating data on non-effective-dated
database tables. If the table is effective-dated, you can use this action to view current
and future rows; modify future rows only; insert a new current row or future row.
Training Guide
Enterprise FSCM 9.0 Fundamentals
Step
7.
Action
When you view data using Update/Display All, you will view current, future, and
history rows of data. This is helpful when you want to view historical data.
Page 93

Step
Action
8.
Correction is the most powerful of all the actions. You can use it to view, change,
or insert rows of data, regardless of the effective date.
9.
Action Types are your key to accessing your organization's data stored in
PeopleSoft.
End of Procedure.
Page 94
Training Guide
Enterprise FSCM 9.0 Fundamentals
Step
1.
Action
A current row of data within PeopleSoft displays the most up-to-date information
available, what is currently happening with the data.
John Smith got married on September 12, 1997. Human Resources inserted a data
row into his record that indicated a change of status from single to married, effective
September 12, 1997. If you were to access John's record today, the current row
would show September 12, 1997. Unless John has a status change in the future,
September 12, 1997 will remain his current data row.
Step
2.
Action
Future rows of data are categorized as rows of data that have not yet taken effect.
They are future transactions. If John had advised Human Resources of his wedding
prior to it taking place, a row could have been inserted with an effective date
September 12, 1997. Until the effective date passed, the row would remain in the
system as future.
Future rows can eliminate paperwork stored for future transactions and avoid
potential loss of records.
Page 95
Training Guide
Enterprise FSCM 9.0 Fundamentals
Step
3.
Action
The last category, history, is fairly self-explanatory. History rows are what current
and future rows eventually become.
If John's marriage didn't work out and he got divorced, a row would be inserted into
his status field indicating a divorce, with an effective date defined by John. The
marriage date, which was the current row, would then become the history row.
History rows enable you to maintain an accurate online history of your data. This
data can then be incorporated into reports or viewed online.

5.
Now that you have an understanding of row categories, you can view some online
using PeopleSoft. The search page for the Vendor Information component is
displayed here.
A search page with Include History and Correct History check boxes displayed
indicates that you are accessing effective-dated data. You can directly access a
history row from the search or within the page. If neither history box is selected, the
Update/Display option is the default.

16.
As you can see, View All displays the current row of data at the top of the page
followed by the history rows. Also notice that View All has changed to View 1 in
the scroll area. When displaying data using View All, you may need to use the
vertical scroll bar to see multiple effective-dated rows.
Click the vertical scrollbar.

Step
Action
17.
18.
You are now back at the top of the page where you can see the current address
information.
Click the View 1 link.
19.
You are returned to the last row that you were viewing before you clicked View All,
in this case, the oldest address. You can scroll back, one page at a time, to the other
data rows you were viewing by clicking the left arrow in the scroll area. However, if
you wish to return to the current row immediately, you can simply click First in the
scroll area.
Click the First link.
20.
You have practiced navigating through effective-dated rows and have seen how
they are used within PeopleSoft. By using effective dates in relation to other fields,
you can keep a chronological history of data within the system.
End of Procedure.
Step
Action
1.
A high-level key is a unique piece of data that is specific to only one record in the
database table(s). For example, an Employee ID is unique to just that employee,
regardless of other employee details, such as last name, address, and date of hire.
2.
Sometimes it is not feasible to use one specific key to identify a row of data in the
system. For these circumstances, PeopleSoft also accommodates a multi-part key. In
the table below, there are five separate rows of data for Employee KC0032. The
high-level key for this table is the Employee ID.
3.
However, with this key alone, there is no distinction between Amanda Agnew, Brian
Avery, Harris Smythe, Lynda Penrose, or Sean Jones. If you queried the database by
Employee ID alone, you would receive all five of the data rows above.
You can use a multi-part key to help you with these types of queries. Using both
the Employee ID and the Contact Name fields to access the data, you are ensured
to receive the correct information.
Page 101
Training Guide
Enterprise FSCM 9.0 Fundamentals
Step
4.
Action
To enter a new high-level key into the database, you use the Add action type. For
example, your organization has all current employees entered in PeopleSoft. This
enables updates to personal information and employee status changes.
When a new employee is hired into the organization, you must create a new highlevel key and add the employee to the database, otherwise, a database record will not
be available. This key becomes the unique identifier, or Employee ID, and is used
to access this employee's record.
5.
The file cabinet below represents a PeopleSoft database in your organization. The
cabinet contains all your company's employee information.
To ensure that you retrieve the correct file folder from the file cabinet, each is
labeled with an Employee ID. The Employee ID is considered a high-level key. In
other words, it uniquely identifies one employee file from another.
6.
You may want to access Susan Jones' personnel file. However, there may be three
Susan Jones within the company. How do you know which Susan Jones file to
access?
If you were simply to open the file cabinet, it would take some time to find the
correct file folder. However, by uniquely identifying data with a high-level key,
PeopleSoft can determine an exact match to a particular piece of data within the
system. This makes data retrieval much more efficient and accurate.
Page 102
Training Guide
Enterprise FSCM 9.0 Fundamentals
Step
7.
Action
To add a high-level key to the database, you need to determine exactly what you
want to add and where it is located within PeopleSoft.
For this example, your company has been using contract workers to complete an
important project. They need to fill out travel and expense information for the
project. A new contract employee has just been hired and her profile information
needs to be added to the database.
Click the Update Profile link.

Workflow routings are notifications to inform other people of the work awaiting them. For
example, after the training request is entered, PeopleSoft automatically notifies the approver that
the request has been submitted and is waiting for review and approval. Once the request has been
approved, the workflow triggers another automatic notification to the person who needs to enroll
the student.
Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to:
Explain sending and receiving notification via workflow.
Use worklists.
