Portal Pages

This section describes certain types of portals provided in the system where a user may control the content, for example the dashboard.

Portal pages used for base product query and maintenance pages are typically configured to not allow user customization. Refer to Portals and Zones Common to Base Product Pages.

In most base products, there are several pages whose content can be customized by individual users. These portal pages exist because different users have different data requirements. For example, in Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing a billing clerk might prefer the customer information portal to show a customer's bills and payments. However, a credit and collection supervisor might prefer the same page to show an account's collection activity. Portal pages allow each user to define what they want to see.

The contents of this section provide background information about portals.
