Portlets can be customized, and therefore are useful for organizing a workplace. The required portlets are added to the main pages by users or the administrator.
You can change the set of portlets and their location in the page settings, and select what information to display in the portlet settings. Portlets can be informational or contain quick access links to the frequently used actions and processes.
For example, the system administrator needs the information on the system versions and available licenses; possibility to work with the Users and Access sections. That is why their main page contains the portlets that serve this purpose. In fig. 1, you can see a system administrator main page with the "Basic Applications", "System", "Users" and "Access" portlets.
