Summary
The Alfresco Explorer user interface can be customized to display your personal dashboard information, such as the pending tasks, checked out documents, and a list of press releases. Presentation templates can be applied to spaces, as well as to content. By using a Custom View on a space, you can gather all of the important information into one place.
You can store content in the Alfresco repository in native XML format and use FreeMarker custom templates to display the XML data in various formats, such as PDF and HTML. You have the option of separating the actual content and the display information so that you can leverage the ability to have multiple views of the same content.
The Alfresco Share user interface can be customized to display your dashlets. The page components can be added to the site and the presentation templates can be applied. Integration with Flex, and the ability to include and modify components on the site, allows a rich user interface experience.
