Official Release on newswire.
What is True Responsiveness?
Designed to intelligently move functionality based on available real estate, transforming the user experience.
What is True Responsiveness? Your employees and constituents expect to be able to do everything on their mobile device that they would on their desktop without compromising functionality: finding a contact, applying for a job, reviewing their pay stub, enrolling in a class, enrolling in benefits, or make a payment.
Read on to see examples of true responsiveness in action.
iPhone in portrait view vs. iPad
Let’s look at the weekly class schedule in Campus Solutions on two form factors: iPhone in portrait view vs. iPad.
In the header bar the “Week of” identification moves below on the mobile device because there isn’t enough real estate. On the iPad it extends across the page based on the same logic.
In the example above, the real estate allows for 2 columns of the class schedule on the iPhone while displaying 4 columns on tablet. Responsiveness design is not dependent on device type and instead flows intelligently based on available real estate.
Indicator dots appear when the entire week is not visible. The reason for this is because responsive design is not about making content smaller to fit on a page, but instead, to rearrange it and present it in a useful manner to the end user.
In both of these examples the action buttons are fixed to the bottom of the screen, and visible at all times, to minimize vertical scrolling.
As you’ll notice, new device size doesn’t matter because breakpoints move fluidly based on the content.
iPhone vs. Desktop
This is how the desktop view changes based upon available real estate on a desktop computer.
As the screen becomes larger, you are able to see more at one time so the action buttons are relocated to the bottom right hand side of the screen. Additionally, in the desktop view, the navigation is expanded
The “Week of” identification reflows based on real estate.
The hamburger menu is collapsed when there is lesser real estate, but ever present when there is more space.
The action buttons are fixed to the bottom of the screen to minimize vertical scrolling on smaller devices.
Indicator dots appear when the entire week is not visible. With larger views the entire week is visible and therefore the indicator dots and arrows are not present.
Bringing back the submenu navigation
True responsiveness is not stripping out functionality for smaller form factors.
For example, earlier versions of our Campus Solutions user experience eliminated the navigation tabs that are present throughout PeopleSoft Campus Solutions to save real estate.
Due to feedback from our customers, we reintroduced this functionality in a way that moved it out of the way but made it available when desired.
CarolinaGo Mobile App Single Day Downloads Hit 2,000
According to Kate Hash, Manager of ITS Communications at UNC Chapel Hill, “Up until Friday, our largest download month had been 600 downloads of the app. On Friday alone, we had 2,000. It is clear that ConnectCarolina is adding a value to the app and that the students are now discovering the app because they want to use ConnectCarolina.”

GreyHeller and Modo Labs Announce Partnership to Create Powerful Mobile Solutions for Oracle’s PeopleSoft Campus Solutions Customers
Mobile software experts team with engagement platform provider to support mobile experience for Oracle’s PeopleSoft Campus Solutions
San Ramon, CA and Cambridge, MA – March 17, 2015. Modo Labs, Inc., provider of a leading mobile engagement platform for universities and enterprises that empowers both technical and non-technical staff to quickly create mobile campus apps, and GreyHeller, a Gold level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) and fast-growing provider of mobile software solutions, today announced a partnership that enhances the mobile experience for users of Oracle’s PeopleSoft Campus Solutions. Both companies are exhibiting at Alliance 2015 (Modo Labs booth #230/GreyHeller booth #200) in Nashville, TN.
As universities and companies work to meet the needs of the new mobile majority it is critical for organizations to provide mobile solutions that meet their expectations. To improve engagement and productivity, next generation mobile apps need to provide a comprehensive, content-rich and actionable experience. Yet it has been extremely difficult for organizations to achieve their mobile vision without creating multiple apps, often resulting in siloed, less than satisfactory user experiences.
With this new partnership, a unified mobile user experience across the spectrum of University information systems is now easily within reach of any institution. Modo Labs provides a mobile engagement framework, the Kurogo™ Platform, in which either technical or non-technical staff can quickly implement and deploy mobile app experiences for any purpose and for any type of mobile user – whether for new student orientation, an alumni reunion, a faculty conference, or virtual admissions tour. Through its PeopleMobile® solution, GreyHeller mobilizes the entire stack of Oracle’s PeopleSoft applications and adapts to customizations and bundles with a powerful mobile-first approach that students, parents, faculty and staff can all take advantage of, no matter where they happen to be.
Taken together, Oracle’s PeopleSoft Campus Solutions features can now be easily embedded as part of a single mobile campus solution, combining information systems and campus activities and enabling an improved user experience.
“The partnership provides a new level of functionality previously unattainable,” said Andrew Yu, Founder and CTO at Modo Labs. “Even a non-technical user can create a new module in hours, such as for a New Student Orientation event, Student Admissions or Student Retention, and embed important actions, including updating contact information, checking application status, or paying a bill.”
“Modo Labs and GreyHeller’s strengths complement each other perfectly,” said Chris Heller, Co-founder and CTO of GreyHeller. “Modo Labs provides the mobile framework while GreyHeller mobilizes the full-range of Oracle’s PeopleSoft functionality. We are excited to be providing this powerful solution for our Higher Ed and Enterprise customers.”

Amazing GreyHeller UI engineers – working their magic to reinvent PeopleSoft
Jennifer, Ashley and Nick are doing some seriously great work re-imagining PeopleSoft’s UI. Their work in creating a whole new look for PeopleSoft is behind our a-ha moment – PeopleSoft, Reinvented.
We believe PeopleSoft is still the best ERP system on the planet. However, the hundreds of PS customers we know all have a love-hate relationship with their PeopleSoft systems. They love the way it works and its flexibility but hate the user experience.
We originally hired our superstar UI engineers to update the UI of our industry leading mobile solution, PeopleMobile®. With Jennifer in the lead, the UI engineering team did such an awesome job that we realized we could apply the same techniques to the PS desktop experience and completely re-invent PeopleSoft.
When we pitched this our key customers their response was totally enthusiastic. In their minds what we’re doing is making PeopleSoft pages responsive to whatever the access device might be – mobile phone, tablet, desktop.
So…..drumroll……PeopleSoft, Reinvented.
University of Arkansas students accessed Campus Solutions 92,000 times via mobile devices
Students at our customer – University of Arkansas – quickly adopted PeopleMobile®. UARK reported 92,000 mobile transactions against their Oracle PeopleSoft Campus Solutions database the day before and the day of registration. Congratulations to the UARK + GreyHeller project team – the numbers tell the story!
