Previously, I’ve presented a technique on how to effectively append javascript execution in your PeopleSoft pages. The technique could be used to append a stylesheet to a PS page; or run code to beautify the page, perhaps adding fancy functionality like drag-and-drop to the elements.

Yet another thing I learned this week. It is possible to open a component directly, bypassing the search page — of course after logging in — from a URL link.

This could be useful when sending notifications to users via email, and you want to provide a link directly to the specific page and data.

Some notes when working with secondary pages.
It is possible to bring up a secondary page using the DoModal() PeopleCode function. To make the data contained in that secondary page to be part of the component buffer, you’ll have to place a secondary page control in one of the standard pages of your component. Elementary. However, there’s something I didn’t discover until recently.
