myUFL Browser Requirments

End User Workstation Requirements

The myUFL systems at the University of Florida use PeopleSoft software. In order for you to use myUFL systems, your personal computer must meet minimum hardware and software requirements. The requirements presented here are from PeopleTools 8.48 Hardware and Software Requirements. See UF Notes at the end of this document. Your local technical support staff should be able to assist you with these requirements.

Hardware Requirements

The following end-user workstation requirements are based on casual and power user type operations (see below). Since these requirements stem from real-world scenarios, they are higher than the manufacturer's minimum for a given web browser and operating system combination. However, PeopleSoft products will function on platforms meeting the manufacturer's minimum requirements for a given web browser and operating system combination, but will not deliver the optimal user experience.

Casual User

Use of myUFL Systems for employee self-service.
Use of myUFL Systems for view-only access to Financial, HR, and/or Payroll.
Typically only one browser window is open at a time and no other programs are running.

Power User

Casual user interaction of myUFL Systems.
Use of myUFL Systems for frequent update access to Financial, HR, and/or Payroll.
May have multiple browsers windows and applications running simultaneously.
May download data and run queries or reports.

General end user workstation hardware requirements are as follows:

In the PeopleSoft Internet Architecture (PIA), the web browser renders the user interface. The web browser receives the HTML generated by the application server and displays the graphic representation of the HTML. The CPU speed of the client has a great influence on how fast these HTML pages are rendered. HTML pages for some PeopleSoft applications can be quite complicated. The web browser should be configured to take advantage of the HTTP 1.1 Protocol and should also allow adequate disk space for HTML object caching.
