Discover the latest enhancements in PeopleTools 8.62 for Content Reference Administration, including 'Save As', 'View in New Window', and 'Optional Longer Title'—designed to streamline PeopleSoft Fluid Homepage design, improve usability, and accelerate development.
In the release of PeopleTools 8.62, Oracle has delivered a series of impactful enhancements to the Content Reference Administration, significantly improving the way administrators and developers create and manage PeopleSoft Landing Pages. These updates are aimed at simplifying the homepage design process, making it faster, safer, and more intuitive to build responsive, user-friendly Fluid Homepages. Whether you’re customizing delivered content or building layouts from scratch, the new tools in 8.62 offer more control and efficiency than ever before.
Among the most notable improvements are features that address long-standing design challenges. The new “Save As” function allows seamless cloning of entire homepages, providing a quick way to back up or duplicate layouts without risk to live configurations. Designers can now instantly preview their changes using the “View in New Window” option, streamlining the review process and reducing development time. Additionally, the introduction of the “Optional Longer Title” field removes the 30-character label limitation, enabling clearer and more descriptive tile names that enhance navigation and usability. These enhancements not only support faster development cycles but also contribute to a more polished and engaging user experience across the PeopleSoft environment.
When designing a complex Landing Page, you rarely get it perfect on the first try. You need to experiment, or you might want to create a new homepage based on an existing one. The new ‘Save As’ feature is built for this workflow.
This is incredibly useful for a few key scenarios:
After saving, the system confirms the creation and prompts you to navigate directly to the new definition, allowing you to continue your work seamlessly.
This is a true cloning feature for the homepage of Content Reference itself, unlike the previous “Copy Object” button, which was designed for a different purpose (copying a Content Reference to another portal).

The typical design process can be tedious: make a change, save, navigate back to your portal, refresh the page, and see the result. The new ‘View in New Window’ button eliminates these extra steps, creating a seamless design-and-review cycle.

A common design challenge has been fitting a descriptive title for a tile within the standard Content Reference label’s 30-character limit. This often leads to awkward abbreviations or vague titles.
