Maintaining Portals and Zones
The framework system has the dashboard, which can contain a configurable set of zones that show diverse information. Each product can have its own set of portals for e.g. the Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing system has two portals, the account information page in Control Central and the customer information page apart from the dashboard.

This section describes how to create and implement your own custom zones and use them on the existing portals provided by the application.
Note:Required Background. As a zone developer you should have some familiarity with HTML. Further, experience with Extensible Markup Language (XML) and XML Stylesheet Language Transform (XSLT) is very useful, because XSLT technology provides the easiest way to render information returned from service calls.
