UI Personalization Roadmap

Question

Hi,
I'm not sure whether this topic belongs in this forum but I
couldn't find another forum that addresses Flex and related user
interface control personalization. If anyone knows of a better
forum please let me know.
Question / Discussion
I'd need to understand the current position Adobe has on UI
personalization when building an application based on the
Flex/Flash framework.
We'd like to move our product to Flex/Flash but the solution
must permit a user to personalize our user interface and save the
changes made. From both a business & developer perspective, we
want to concentrate on our business solution rather than build out
the technology to do this.
Some of the user UI personalization changes expected are:
- Hide non-mandatory fields, buttons, tabs or groups
containing non-mandatory fields (typically unused features for that
user)
-Move a field or group of fields within an existing tab or
other container to another container
-Make a non-mandatory field mandatory
-Define new custom buttons that link to existing application
functionality or URL for mashups
-Resize input and display fields (individual fields as well
as columns in lists/grids)
These UI changes need to be completed in MXML only,
independent of the underlying business code since one product
solution will be deployed and supported.
The idea would be to store these user changes in a user
profile that could guide the browser in rendering the MXML. A
profile approach would also enable a user to share a unit of work
that has a personalized UI with another user. Profiles need to
migrate forward with the solution as subsequent versions are
released to minimize maintenance & testing impact.
We are looking for a more malleable interface that a user can
shape to their purpose after delivery. This is similar to web
parts.
Are there any plans to support such a UI personalization
mechanism on the Flex roadmap?
Thanks.

HI Pooja,
for personalizing i hope this would help u better :
Changing the position and visibility of  UI elements – for example, for fields and tables.
· Adding or changing additional interface information – for example changing the button text or adding quick infos.
· Role-specific changing of interface labels.
· UI element roadmap: Removing individual, unneeded process steps.
· Statically changing individual field attributes.
· Changing the alignment of individual UI elements – for example, line starting point, align right, centered alignment.
· Wider selection of fonts and colors for the interface layout
Hope this might help u.
