A Pod is a container, within which a set of data is presented to the user. This data is configurable, and could be presented in a number of formats, such as list, a chart or some other graphical view. For example a Pod might contain a snapshot view of key data required by the user to complete their work for that particular day.
Personal pages allow users to focus on the data that is most important to them. Users can personalize the page to fit their own specific needs.
