The portal includes configuration of how the zones should appear on the portal by default. This includes the following options, all of which may be overridden by an implementation.
In addition, the portal includes configuration to indicate whether or not the portal should appear on a user’s portal preferences. This is typically enabled for a portal that provides disparate information where not all zones are applicable to all users or where users may wish to adjust the order of the zones. An example of a portal enabled for portal preferences is the Dashboard portal. The user can override zone oriented configuration for the portal:
An implementation can optionally configure the system to define portal preferences on one or more "template" users. When a template user is linked to a "real" user, the real user's preferences are inherited from the "template" user and the "real" user cannot change their preferences. Some implementations opt to work this way to enforce a standard look and feel for users in the same business area.
