Which tool would you use if someone asked you to hide a PeopleSoft field? We asked our LinkedIn audience that same question. Here are the results:
85% of respondents chose Page and Field Configurator, which is fantastic!
Both tools can hide a field, but is one a better option? I use a decision matrix to help me decide which one to use:
| Event Mapping | PaFC | |
|---|---|---|
| Can the solution be configured with PaFC? | ✔ | |
| PaFC cannot provide the expected result. | ✔ |
If you can use Page and Field Configurator, then choose it for these two reasons:
- Page and Field Configurator contains a "Validate Configuration" feature to verify the configuration is still relevant after applying maintenance and
- Functional business analysts may manage Page and Field Configurator (Event Mapping is a developer-only solution).
When should you use Event Mapping? For everything else. For example, Page and Field Configurator does not yet work with Group Boxes. Likewise, complex logic may require Event Mapping (or might be easier to read and write if written in Event Mapping).
We teach both topics in our three-day Configure, don't Customize course. Check it out to see when we are offering it next!
