Managing Walls
LUCS Frontend walls can be created by administrators to display service information either in team or publicly-wide dashboards. Walls use the same Frontend Widget concepts as your personal home screen and but do not allow manipulation or interaction from outside
Be careful with sharing sensitive information on walls with "System" Organization Units . There is no dedicated per-user restriction in the contents shown. All walls that are set on "System" level to all users (including anonymous visitors!).
When you need to organize information just for your personal use, refer to Widgets Groups instead.
Walls Overview
Walls are organized in an overview. Every user (even logged out) that has access to the Frontend will be able to view the existing walls in this overview.
