OFBiz - Re: Dev

We implemented UI themes that users can choose from. Maybe some of that work 
could be helpful.

Hi everybody -

We want to implement a feature where users can configure their view 
choices in the applications.  For example, the same page can serve up 
different content, etc.  I think this would have to be implemented 
specifically in each application, but nevertheless a common data model 
for all of them might be nice.

My questions:

1.  Is this something we want in OFBIZ?

2.  If so, here's what I have so far
ViewPreference: header entity with an ID, description, etc.
ViewPreferenceItem consisting of viewPrefId, component, view, item (FK 
on enum)
ViewPreferenceEnums is a list of allowable choices for all the view 
preferences
UserLoginViewPreference - allows userLogin to be associated with a view 
preference

Does this sound reasonable? 

Where I'm a little hazy is how ViewPreferenceItem should be.  Should be 
structured around application compnent and view-request, or around 
screens and sub-screens, or form/fields?  Or should we have something 
that would allow all of the above, so users can configure any of those? 

Thanks,

Si
