I understood that Eric was looking on what to work 1st, hence the 9 icons. Am I wrong? Obviously there are objective reasons to choice one or another. Jacques |

Also it it easy to configure which applications to put there. Another option would be to let each user specify the applications he/she uses most and store it as user preference. Bilgin |

Not just a per-user preference, but a default portlet group. |

I wonder if webtools doesn't get used more. It might need to be called
"system" or something more clear and have other settings/maintenance functions merged into those screens.

Yeah - I spaced on Webtools - it's easily in the top 9. I was just focusing on the business apps when I wrote this.

Yes, the goal here is to make the site accessible to the intro user. On
many applications there is a getting started jump point that would be beneficial as a little helpful guide and point to jump to sections that are not easily accessible for the user that is unfamiliar with the way ofbiz works. Also there would be a training area that would work from this start point.
