Summary Page Layout

The Summary Page is the first page that users encounter after they log in to the Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Console. Therefore, it's important to provide on this page a summary of the key information that users will find within the console. This Summary Page should provide users with the ability to drill down and link to the console sections.
