Modify Existing Role Centers

A role center is a customized "launch pad" for a user's experience inside Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. It displays specific data, reports, alerts, and common tasks that are associated with the user's role. The role center is the first content that is displayed when a user logs in to either the rich client or the Enterprise Portal.
Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 includes 34 customized role centers. A role center, in the most fundamental sense, is a webpage that can be viewed either in the Enterprise Portal or in the rich client Content Pane (which is essentially a browser window).

In the AOT, you can view the web components that make up each role center,just like any other webpage in the Enterprise Portal. The URL for the Role Center pages is found at AOT > Web > Web Menu Items > URLs.



Modify a Role Center

Just like any other webpage, role centers can be modified to suit the needs of your business. Since a role center is a webpage in the Enterprise Portal, and SharePoint manages webpage layout for the Enterprise Portal, any layout modifications need to be done by using SharePoint tools.

Just like all SharePoint webpages, there are also Shared Versions and Personal Versions of role centers. Shared and Personal versions are modified differently:

• Shared Versions are modified using SharePoint tools in a browser.

• Personal Versions are modified using SharePoint tools in the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 client.
