Creating a Site-Specific Tasks List

The Site-Specific Tasks list is a list of links that appears on the Workspace home page. If links are defined, a Site-Specific Tasks region appears. If no Site-Specific Tasks are defined, the region does not display. This feature enables Oracle Application Express administrators to customize the Workspace home page for an entire development instance. Typical uses for the Site-Specific Tasks list include links to training, discussion forums, and user feedback applications.
