- Advanced Personalization

JBoss Portal has had user personalization of individual portlets since the JBoss Portal 2.0. In JBoss Portal 2.6, we’ve improved the granularity of personalization and ability to further personalize the user experience. Personal user dashboards bring personalized themes, layouts and portlet content, increasing the productivity of specific roles and people within a business process or collaboration effort. Further enhancements include user-created user interfaces, drag and drop portlets and more granular controlled access at the portlet level.

- Usability Improvements

The open source community including customers provided outstanding input to improve the usability of JBoss Portal which, as with all software, is an ongoing development. The open source difference means that this happens in a transparent manner with JBoss Portal. Improvements include portal and user administration as well as content management. Portlets may be managed overall or for individual instances including default definition. User administration simplifies user creation, provides a list-based view and includes user search. Basic content management provided out of the box now includes action-based management within a familiar directory view.
