The IFS Web Client has user profiles located in the database, together with profiles for other IFS clients, using the common profile framework. Each end user will get a separate profile that he/she can customize as desired. This profile information may contain each user's customized portal/portlet and page information together will profile information common to other clients. There are two levels of profile information that can be valid for a certain combination of user, URL and object:
The final profile a user gets is a result of merging the user's personal
profile with the default one assigned by the administrator.
Profiles can be administrated using IFS Solution Manager.
There are two types of profiles connected to pages.
Page level customization can be done from the "Customizable Screen Layout" window which opens up when you click the Properties icon on the command bar.
You can customize the overview layout, menu items, setting default values and query-able fields. If you are a power user then you can customize the detail layout and change field properties such as mandatory and read only. Your customization can be overridden by the application logic. For an example, a field which you set to editable can be still read-only if the application logic set it to read-only due to certain conditions. Please note that the changes will NOT take effect until the underlying page is refreshed.

Each individual portlet in a particular portal page can be customized separately. These portal and portlet information is kept in user profiles.

User can customize the number of columns and column properties, even multi column portlets, which will span through the width of all the slim columns, could be added.
