hi,

Mainly customization is done for a whole lot of people, say a complete compnay who wants a particular look and feel for their product. Personalization is mainly for one person. For eg, i

When you login to your portal, you get to see a particulat theme, a particular masthead, particular bakground colour. This is provided in general to all the users who will login to the portal. Now there maybe a "personalise" tab present. There you can change the theme of the portal. So when you login , you can see a different theme than was provided before. But this theme is not changed when other login usig diffeent id's. Hence to customise, an administrator makes changes, which get reflected int he bulk, whereas personalise is for personal purpose.

mainly you can say,

1.Customization is done by a portal based on what it knows about you (e.g., your role). Customization will probably be different for your different roles, or a portal might give you a view based on all your roles.

2.Some roles demand very specific customization. The registrar, e.g., subscribes to the student info channel, but has access to all students and has global update privileges. A student subscribes to the same channel but can only see her own info and has no update privileges.

3.Customization includes what initial channels you subscribe to, what privileges you have to read, search and update items, what channels you can add, what personalization you can do, etc.,

You do personalization to a portal to make it work the way you do.

Both customization and personalization must be saved for each of your roles. These may be saved with the same or different technologies.

Personalization is required for:

1.Subscribe/unsubscribe to a portal

2.Position the look and feel on a portal page

3.Personalize the portal content (profiles)

4.Personal calculations, reports, and display (e.g., how much money do I have left in my capital account? What's the value of my portfolio? What's the P/E of HD? Display negative numbers in parens in red, etc.)

Colors, backgrounds, fonts, when to update, defaults
