1. A method for defining a display area configuration of a user device, comprising:

  • assigning a user a plurality of roles, wherein the user is only able to access one of the plurality of roles at a time;

    associating a first set of resources, from a plurality of available resources, with a first role of the plurality of roles for inclusion in a first display area configuration;

    associating a second set of resources from a plurality of available resources, with the second role of the plurality of roles for inclusion in a second display area configuration;

    building a first profile from the first set of resources;

    building a second profile from the second set of resources, wherein the second profile is in a same application as the first profile;

    saving the first profile and the second profile;

    building a first display area on a user device based on the first display area configuration in response to a first user request;

    flagging a resource not currently included in the first display area configuration;

    logging the number of times the user accesses the resource;

    adding the resource to the first display area configuration when the number of times the user accesses the resource reaches a predefined threshold;

    updating the first profile based on the resource added to the first display area configuration;

    logging a period of time the user does not access the resource on the first display area configuration;

    removing the resource from the first display area configuration when the period of time reaches a predetermined threshold;

    detecting a click of a control key and a function key of a keyboard;

    switching, from the first profile, to the second profile in response to the detection; and

    building a second display area on the user device based on the second display area configuration in response to the switch.
