PEOPLESOFT APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

Every PeopleSoft application is a collection of related objects that have been designed to work together for a specific purpose.  These objects include fields, records, panels, and other objects that all interact with one another.  Developing and customizing PeopleSoft applications is a step-by-step process in which such objects are defined and built, relationships among objects are established, security is implemented, and every aspect is tested thoroughly.  The majority of these activities are completed using one interactive tool—Application Designer.
