<p><span>PeopleSoft applications are helping to make paper and email-based forms a thing of the past so that you will know what was submitted, when it was submitted, and who approved it. We recently released Forms and Approval Builder as a part of Common Components 9.1. Forms and Approval Builder allows you to build electronic forms that are configurable by business analysts, enabled with approval workflows, and immediately deployable and auditable to enable you to replace paper and email-based forms. Forms and Approval Builder is currently available, at no additional charge, to all PeopleSoft 9.1 customers. It was part of the FSCM Feature Pack March 2011, and it is also available in the Enterprise Components 9.1 Common Objects Bundle 1 2011 for use in any PeopleSoft 9.1 Pillar, including, of course, HCM. It does require PeopleTools 8.51.03 or greater.</span><br/><br/><br/></p>
<h3>Form Design</h3>
<p><br/><span>PeopleSoft Forms and Approval Builder enables business analysts to create electronic, routable forms without having to use PeopleSoft Application Designer. A typical form can be designed and in use within 30 minutes and requires no writing of code.</span></p>

To avoid disruptive impact to upgrade and implementation plans, it is critical to understand and plan for the hardware, software, and procedural change that PUM represents.</span></p>

When synchronizing net new projects, the system does not refer to a synchronization template to determine the objects selected for export or import.

<p>If you have been to one of my PeopleSoft user experience sessions, you have likely seen a good handful of interesting CSS ideas in my designs. Ever wanted to implement some and need a few pointers? Here is a little Q&A that I hope you find useful.</p>
<p><strong>Q: How do you keep a PeopleSoft or content provider stylesheet from overriding your Interaction Hub (portal) pagelet styles?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> <a href="http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2007/07/27/css-specificity-things-you-should-know/">Higher specificity</a>. I make sure my styles have a more specific CSS selector than the delivered CSS selector. This is actually pretty easy because the delivered CSS selectors for pagelet elements (ptpageletheader, ptpageletbody, ptpgltlabel, etc) just use class names. To make your selector more specific, just include .ptpagelet in front of your selectors. Here is a sample from one of my free formed stylesheets:</p>
<pre><span class="syntax0"><span class="syntax-LITERAL2">#</span><span class="syntax-LITERAL2">ptpglts</span> <span class="syntax-LITERAL1">.</span><span class="syntax-LITERAL1">ptpagelet</span> <span class="syntax-LITERAL1">.</span><span class="syntax-LITERAL1">ptpageletheader</span> <span class="syntax-OPERATOR">{</span> <span class="syntax-KEYWORD2">border-radius</span><span class="syntax-OPERATOR">:</span> <span class="syntax-DIGIT">10px</span> <span class="syntax-DIGIT">10px</span> <span class="syntax-DIGIT">0</span> <span class="syntax-DIGIT">0</span><span class="syntax-OPERATOR">;</span> <span class="syntax-OPERATOR">}</span> </span></pre>
<p>The delivered selector is <code>.ptpageletheader</code>. I make my CSS selector more specific by adding <code>#ptpglts .ptpagelet</code> to the selector.</p>
<p><strong>Q: How did you make the pagelets on your green/grass theme have a semi-transparent background?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> There are actually a couple of ways to accomplish this. I created this theme back before rgba support in IE, so the approach I took was to create a 2x2 pixel PNG image with a semi-transparent background. I then set that to be my pagelet's background. Here is an example:</p>
<pre><span class="syntax0"><span class="syntax-LITERAL2">#</span><span class="syntax-LITERAL2">ptpglts</span> <span class="syntax-LITERAL1">.</span><span class="syntax-LITERAL1">ptpagelet</span> <span class="syntax-KEYWORD1">td</span><span class="syntax-LITERAL1">.</span><span class="syntax-LITERAL1">ptpageletbody</span> <span class="syntax-OPERATOR">{</span> <span class="syntax-KEYWORD2">background</span><span class="syntax-OPERATOR">:</span> <span class="syntax-KEYWORD1">url(</span><span class="syntax-LITERAL1">"</span><span class="syntax-LITERAL1">opacity-bg.png</span><span class="syntax-LITERAL1">"</span><span class="syntax-KEYWORD1">)</span> <span class="syntax-KEYWORD3">repeat</span> <span class="syntax-KEYWORD3">scroll</span> <span class="syntax-DIGIT">0</span> <span class="syntax-DIGIT">0</span> <span class="syntax-KEYWORD3">transparent</span><span class="syntax-OPERATOR">;</span> <span class="syntax-OPERATOR">}</span> </span></pre>
<p>Today we can reduce our downloads and accomplish this much more easily using the rgba color syntax:</p>
<pre><span class="syntax0"><span class="syntax-LITERAL2">#</span><span class="syntax-LITERAL2">ptpglts</span> <span class="syntax-LITERAL1">.</span><span class="syntax-LITERAL1">ptpagelet</span> <span class="syntax-KEYWORD1">td</span><span class="syntax-LITERAL1">.</span><span class="syntax-LITERAL1">ptpageletbody</span> <span class="syntax-OPERATOR">{</span> <span class="syntax-KEYWORD2">background</span><span class="syntax-OPERATOR">:</span> <span class="syntax-KEYWORD3">none</span> <span class="syntax-KEYWORD3">repeat</span> <span class="syntax-KEYWORD3">scroll</span> <span class="syntax-DIGIT">0</span> <span class="syntax-DIGIT">0</span> <span class="syntax-KEYWORD1">rgba(</span><span class="syntax-DIGIT">255</span><span class="syntax-OPERATOR">,</span> <span class="syntax-DIGIT">255</span><span class="syntax-OPERATOR">,</span> <span class="syntax-DIGIT">255</span><span class="syntax-OPERATOR">,</span> <span class="syntax-DIGIT">0</span><span class="syntax-OPERATOR">.</span><span class="syntax-DIGIT">5</span><span class="syntax-KEYWORD1">)</span><span class="syntax-OPERATOR">;</span> <span class="syntax-OPERATOR">}</span> </span></pre>
<p><strong>Q: How did you create rounded corners for your pagelets?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> I used the border-radius CSS attribute:</p>
