The Maximo Start Center represents the home page for any user. As some users have a number of responsibilities, and as Start Center functionality has expanded since the release in version 5, Start Centers have gotten bigger. Users often need to scroll right/left as well as down/up, to get to what they want at the time.

Everything reviewed will focus on what you can do without any need to do a database configuration.
