Almost every aspect of assigning and configuring related content services is done in the browser; no access to developer tools, such as PeopleSoft Application Designer, is necessary.

InterWindow Communication_____________________________________________Interwindow communication (IWC) is a frame-to-frame messaging mechanism that enables browser window objects—such as pages or pagelets—to be aware of and react to field level data changes that occur in other browser window objects that share the same browser window. Interwindow communication enables you to publish field-level changes as they occur so that any subscribing page or pagelet becomes instantly aware of the change and then, can act on it in real-time.

Here is a simple example. On a dashboard you have the Employees pagelet, which contains a list of names. Also on the dashboard you have an Employee Projects pagelet, which contains project listings for an employee. Interwindow communication enables you to click a name in the Employee pagelet and have the Employee Projects pagelet retrieve the project listing for the corresponding name
