The PeopleSoft system is an integrated database environment shared across the university. Campus Community is the central repository of the PeopleSoft system for data that is shared across the three main business areas of Human Resources, Contributor Relations, and Student Administration. It is used to manage biographic and demographic information on people and organizations. You create records for individuals in the database by entering the name, address, telephone, and birthdate data that describes them. This biographic and demographic data is known as Bio/Demo data. All the processes and activities you perform in the PeopleSoft system are performed in relation to records for individuals in Campus Community.
