General

Info

The navigationMenu and buttonBar should not be modified. Access to available menu options and buttons is automatically determined when running the Solution-Based Rollouts (SBR). E.g. after running Work order SBR, the corresponding menu option and buttons will become available.

A user Profile consists of user groups, a startBoard, and a navigation menu. User groups that are assigned to the each user profile determines the access to functionalities on the startBoard and the navigation menu.

  • StartBoards encompasses a cluster of information and functionalities greeting the user on the homepage.

  • A startBoard showcases the most frequently used functionalities for a specific user profile. Users cannot modify their own startBoard.

  • The available tiles (buttons) on the startBoard is determined by the access rights granted by authorization groups (= user groups).

  • A startBoard can be customized by the application manager by adding or removing reports.

  • A wizard can be used to create new user profiles with a unique startBoard.

Tip

A clear and fast startBoard is always preferred for optimal user experience. Don’t add all reports you can find to a startBoard, this will not benefit the user experience.
