FLUID Information and Tutorial
Our GET Student Administration System (PeopleSoft) is getting an upgrade to its navigation named FLUID, thanks to a project run by the Chancellor's Office. The menu system in FLUID has been updated, making it simpler to access your most crucial processes quickly.
Features include:
- Homepage with graphic tiles identifying your most essential PeopleSoft pages
- Black Navigation Bar at the top of your pages that link to NavBar (compass icon in the upper right) with connections to your Favorites, Recent Pages, and Main Menu
Sample Homepage with Tiles and Sample Navigation Bar
Note: This navigation upgrade was required for Cal State LA to implement future PeopleSoft updates and patches aimed at improving the overall user experience. While the look and feel of how you navigate to certain PeopleSoft pages have changed, the essential functions and pages remain the same. You may notice that most pages still appear in the “PeopleSoft Classic” format.
FAQ
When switching between PeopleSoft pages using the NavBar feature, FLUID, a programming update to PeopleSoft, adds a customize Cal State LA navigation bar to the top of the screen for the majority of administrative users. Each administrative user will also receive a brand-new, contemporary homepage screen with a selection of graphically improved tiles representing their most often visited pages.
The functionality of the pages within each tile will not be altered by FLUID. The intention is to make page-to-page navigation more fluid, or seamless.
In order to provide users a clearer feeling of where they are in PeopleSoft when browsing between pages and modules, FLUID introduces larger fonts and colorful images. Below are some selected examples of screenshots:

The slate of Cal State LA tiles and images are managed by Enrollment Services. Users may access tiles by visiting the “My Homepage” section after logging in to PeopleSoft.
Note: These tiles will NOT appear in your MyCalStateLA SSO MyApps. You will still need to access your GET PeopleSoft pages by clicking on the Student Administration tile in SSO.
