From the July 2025 updates to Employee Center, there was a new widget released for My Requests. It looks really interesting as adds some good options to the my_requests page. Let's take a look at how to switch over to use that widget in a PDI.
Here is our starting point on Employee Center:
Following the steps in the release article, I just needed to track down the Setup link under Employee Center in the left navigation menu:
Then mark the box to Yes and click the Opt In button to activate the new experience.
Once that was done, the page flipped over to an Opt Out version.
So what just happened there? Checking out the Opt In/Out page from the left navigation menu, it points to the UI Page emre_optin_ui. Looking at that page and into the script that is tied to it, it pointed me over to Script Include emreOptInAjax.
The idea behind that script is it toggles a Page Route Map record for the new experience for Employee Center changing the path from my_requests over to ec_requests. Just something to keep in mind is you'll need to add a portal to this record if you're using any portal you've built out on your own.
From there, I just a reloaded on the same page I had up in another browser tab for My Requests and the new widget (and page behind the scenes) made its appearance.
