Explanation

This activity is used to define home screen configurations. On creating a new Type the list of available filters will be pre-populated. The user can specify which filters should be used by checking the Used In Application and in what order they are displayed by setting the Display Order. It is also possible to set a Type as the Default. If no specific User Configuration is created in Home Screen Configuration then the Default Type will be synchronized to the IFS Mobile Client. To flex the Home Screen per User a record must be entered in the Home Screen Configuration linking the User with the Type.
