SESSION #35864
March 7, 2016

2. presenter J. Jonah Jameson Director of IT University of South Albany
Mr. Jameson has 21 years of experience squashing new ideas and avoiding change of any kind. He has the dubious distinction of championing technology and methods that are at least 10 years behind the rest of the market. He is recognized by his peers as a consistent doubter of tools that improve productivity and efficiency.
He was forced to attend Alliance under duress.

6. Electronic forms in PeopleSoft?
PeopleSoft Forms and Approval Builder (“FAB”) may be a good place to start for very simple form creation, but what if you needed a form that could…
Auto-populate to reduce the work required of the user and increase accuracy?
Conditionally display sections and fields based on user input and business requirements to ensure that the user only sees what he/she needs to see?
Restrict field values based on other data in the form to reduce errors and simplify choices?
Include edits to catch errors?
Display related descriptions, not just system values?
Select who can see and use the form based on PeopleSoft security roles?
Route conditionally to the right approvers at the right time and under the right conditions?
Automatically update PeopleSoft?
AND…include data from non-PeopleSoft systems?
Sorry, You’d be out of luck.

7. PeopleSoft Form and Approval Builder – A Basic Form
“FAB” might work well if you’re just looking to put fields on a page…

…and have a user enter data. But what if you want to have the form intelligently guide the user through the process, auto-populate, enforce business rules, or display or respond differently when certain conditions are met?
