Personalize Scope in Web Parts

In the AVEVA Work Tasks Web Parts, users can use two scopes – User scope and Shared scope.

By default, all the home pages are in the User scope. When the user selects the Shared scope, by default the home page will be empty. On clicking the Reset User Scope option, the existing controls will be deleted and the default controls will be added.

• User: Individual users can not personalize properties scoped as Shared. They can personalize User-scoped properties, and their values for these properties take precedence over the property values assigned when the page was in Share scope. If the user-specific personalization data on a control is lost or reset, User-scoped properties revert to the values they had when the page was in Shared scope.
  Individual users can close a shared control for themselves, which adds it to the Page Catalog, but they cannot permanently delete it.
  Individual users can personalize both Shared and User scoped personalizable properties on the control for themselves, because the control instance is completely private.
  Individual users can also permanently delete the control.

• Shared: WebPart controls are shared by default. An authorized user can personalize both Shared and User scoped properties on the control for all users.
  In the case of a dynamic control (a control that is added to the page programmatically, or from a catalog of controls), an authorized user can permanently delete it for all users.
  In the case of a static control (a control that is declared in the markup of an .aspx page), it cannot be deleted, although an authorized user can close the control for all users.

• Per-user control: The control cannot be personalized with the page in Shared scope, because the control does not even appear on the page. The control only appears when the page is in User scope.
