🛑 Bypassing the “PeopleSoft Tax”

The traditional method for reviewing project metadata is broken. Application Designer XML exports are black boxes of base64-encoded tags. Checking a single audit stamp or line of PeopleCode requires high-latency VPNs, active database connections, and a tedious “12-menu click-loop.”

PeopleSoft Project Insights eliminates this friction. It replaces blind trust with instant transparency, allowing you to assess impact and audit changes in seconds without ever logging into a target environment.

✨ Key Features

  • 100% Local & Secure: Operates entirely in your local browser memory. No external API calls, no database connections, and no server dependencies. Your sensitive enterprise metadata never leaves your machine.
  • On-The-Fly Code Decoding: Automatically converts unreadable Base64-encoded PeopleCode and fragmented HTML/SQL into readable, syntax-highlighted blocks for immediate review.
  • Streamlined Peer Reviews: Built-in filters allow you to instantly isolate objects marked as ChangedAbsent, or Custom Changed, transforming an hours-long hunt into a minutes-long inspection.
  • Automated Documentation: Generate ready-made migration logs with a single click. Export a highly structured 12-column CSV manifest or a print-optimized PDF summary for change tickets and sign-offs.
  • Deep X-Ray Auditing: Instantly surfaces critical project-level audit headers (e.g., Last Updated BySource Operator) and explicitly maps out complex object deployment flags.

🛠️ How to Use (The 3-Step Flow)

  1. Export: In Application Designer, navigate to Tools -> Copy Project -> To File to generate your project XML.
  2. Drag & Drop: Open the downloaded PSoft_Project_Insights.html file in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. Drag and drop your XML file into the secure drop zone.
  3. Inspect: Instantly browse the interactive grid, filter by status, and click any row to view decoded source code and metadata.

📥 Installation

No installation required. Simply download the latest .html release from this repository and open it in your favorite modern web browser.

Demo XML for Testing
