Updated home page

Home page in IBM® Rational® Focal Point™, version 6.5.2, supports tabs for better content organization.

Home page windows are listed in a single tab, by default.

The home page settings can be modified to list user-created windows in one tab, and each inherited window in a separate tab. If you have not created any window, or if you do not have an inherited window, the corresponding tab is not shown in the homepage. Multiple windows inherited from the same owner, are grouped under one tab.

The following functions are available in the enhanced home page:
