Portal Customisation

IMPORTANT: About shared working position / User ID

In cases where you share a working position and/or an User ID with other staff, please take the following actions:

case 1: different IDs on same computer: please do logout when you leave position, and login when you start a session, to make sure you will be using your own customised settings.
case 2: different users on the same ID: please do review the customisations done by the previous user to make sure they suit your purpose and working preferences.

Caution: Inheriting someone else's customisation settings can potentially lead to security issues.

When opened for the first time, the NOP presents by default, all the currently available Portlets in their respective 'expanded mode'. This results in a very large amount of information, likely to make the Portal somewhat confusing to use.

The Portal Customisation enables you to store your preferences on how some sections of the portal will behave or look like, to best fit your working habits or areas of interest - and significantly reduce the size of the pages. The Portlets can be defined to be visible or invisible on the Portal Main View, resulting in a user-defined layout only displaying the selected items - and presenting them in a compact and practical way.

Please refer to the Customise the NOP section to learn how to optimise the NOP layout.

Note: Portal customisation is only available to authenticated users having access to the customisation editor - you may therefore not see the buttons described in this section.

The NOP presents two accesses to the customisation process, from the header of the NOP Main View and from the header of the Detached Views of all customisable applications.

Customisation from the NOP Header

The first method for accessing the Customisation Editor is from the CUSTOMISATION button located in the NOP Header (Main View):

Customisation from a Detached View

The header of all customisable Detached Views features a Customisation button, located next to the Set and Printing Mode buttons:

Both these actions result in opening the Customisation Editor:

You may now opt for one of the following actions:

Select an Application to customise from the pull-down menu, which lists in alphabetical order all applications currently available for customisation:
- E_HELPDESK (E-Helpdesk Portlet)
- FLIGHTS (Flight Portlet)
- IFPUV (Flight Portlet)
- MEASURES (Measures Portlet)
- NOP (NOP main page)
- TRAFFIC_COUNTS (Traffic Counts Portlet)
