What It Is

HTML definitions are PeopleSoft’s catalog of HTML fragments, JavaScript snippets, and template bodies stored in PSCONTDEFN. Anything a page or report needs to embed — a JavaScript helper, an email body template, a custom Fluid grid layout — is normally stored as a named HTML object and pulled into PeopleCode with GetHTMLText(). psLens shows the full content of the definition so you can read what the application is actually injecting at runtime.

What This Consolidates

In App Designer the HTML catalog requires opening File → Open → HTML and loading each object one at a time. psLens makes the catalog searchable and shows the content inline. Useful when tracing a script tag in rendered page source back to its HTML object.
