Portals, Dashboards, Personas
In addition to the workspace, Portals, Dashboards, and Personas
are the other primary types of interfaces used in a workplace. While they may contain information, such as their own lists and
libraries, this is optional. Using CorasWorks, these interfaces are used to view
and work with information, whether that information is in the active site or
elsewhere in the workplace. In sum, CorasWorks allows you to connect these
interfaces to data located throughout the workplace.
We differentiate between these
types of interface sites based upon how they are typically used and, more
precisely, the users that they serve. Here is how we break them down:
-
A Portal is for a community either at the enterprise or departmental level which allows users to view and work with information throughout the workplace. A portal may have some generic data because it serves a broad community, but it will usually provide views of data throughout the workplace.
-
A Dashboard is an interface for a specific group to view and work with information. Usually, the information is located in external workspaces – dashboards provide a birds-eye level view of the group’s activities, its work-products, or the information the group needs to do its work.
-
A Persona is a
role-based or user-specific interface. It gives the user views of
information related to them and specific functionality related to their
role. With a role-based Persona, multiple users can access the same exact
persona page. However, each user only sees the data specific to them.
Accordingly, role-based Personas typically don’t contain any information
within the site. A user-specific Persona is designed to be used by a
specific person and thus, will usually contain their personal data, as well
as functionality to allow them to view external data and do their work.
