Understanding Home Page Configuration

Configure User Settings for the Home Page

Please refer to About Home Page in the Business User Guide for a conceptual overview of home page functionality.

Beyond entering Master Configuration settings for the home page, you might also consider the following:

Users can add or remove zones on the Home Page by navigating to Preferences and selecting the Portal Preferences tab. Here, under the various Home Page sections, you can select which default zones display, whether or not they are initially collapsed or expanded, and the order in which they appear. Depending on your business practices, you can choose to disable this ability for users by modifying their access to these settings by assigning a Template User for Portal Preferences to each User record. Refer to Understanding Portals and Zones, or the User - Portal Preferences section under User Preferences in the Oracle Utilities Application Framework documentation for more information on using portal preferences.

Add Zones to the Home Page

You may find that it is beneficial to include additional zones on the Main tab of the Home Page, such as a zone to show Saved Searches, Bookmarks, or Favorites. You may also want to add organizational information such as a company news zone or additional custom zones. You can configure the Home Page, or any portal, to display the zones that you choose by configuring zone settings as described under Understanding Portals and Zones in the Oracle Utilities Application Framework documentation.
