Hi Si,

How should user use this preference feature, could you please provide more information? I think it should be a very interesting feature, but I am not sure if it can be as powerful as I expect with the current GUI rendering mechanism.

Thanks
Lei

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
