Personas

Openspace uses personas to determine what layouts, themes and gadgets are displayed when you log in. You can create different personas that display different combinations of layouts, themes and gadgets according to the requirements of your users. This is useful because it means that users do not have to define these themselves when they first log in.

To configure personas you must log in as a user that has a privilege with the Application Configuration system action assigned to it. System actions are configured in the Organization Modeler in TIBCO Business Studio, see TIBCO Business Studio Process Modeling User’s Guide for information.

By default, Openspace provides two personas:

• Default. The default persona provides the following gadgets:
  • Business Services
  • WorkViews
  • Process Views
  • Event Views
  • Organization
  • Calendar
    Note: After the first log in, any user is free to change any of the settings as they wish. However, if the Openspace Administrator reapplies the settings, any changes that users have made to their settings are lost when the settings are reapplied.
• Standard. The Standard persona is initially blank. You can use the Standard persona to configure which themes and gadgets are displayed when users log in, depending on your requirements.

If no Standard persona has been defined, the first time you log in to Openspace, the Default persona is used.
