An Application View presents a user with a pre-defined view of the application specific to their user role. The user will see the sections, shortcuts, searches and tabs that are relevant to their role. Each application view has an associated home page which can be a personal page. The process of defining a user includes allocating an application view to the user. This defines which application view and associated home page will be displayed when that user uses the application. As part of the personal page configuration, administrators can choose which pods are to be displayed by default, and which ones can be added at the discretion of the user. See The Customize Panel
