Configure interface views overview
See Views-related Features and Licenses for details.
You can configure different variants of the Polarion user interface for end users who work with the Polarion platform in different contexts or user roles. For example, one user may function as a manager at some times, and as a developer at other times. You can configure different Interface Views (Views) which provide varying levels of information and presentation, displaying just the navigation topics, Work Item field content and Work Item form layout needed for a given work context or role.
A default Interface View is defined in the default global configuration, and in Project Templates. Project administrators can override the global or template configuration and define a custom set of Interface Views for any project.
Polarion comes with a Compact view for users with small displays, and a High Contrast view for people with who have color visual impairment .
Generally, Interface Views should have descriptive names that describe the role of people for whom they are intended. For example:
Default (which shows all available information)
Requirement Engineer
Tester
Developer
Manager
Bear in mind that Polarion's default Project Templates can be customized, and/or custom variants can be created. What Interface Views exist, what information any View provides, and how it is laid out, depends on how the template developer configured Interface Views in the project template.
Interface Views are not a security feature. They do not prevent any users from having access to any information. User roles and permissions should be used to control users' access to portal content.
