Abstract:
Apparatus, methods and computer program products relate to utilizing a plurality of personas for a single user in a computing application. As such, the user can conveniently and quickly switch between personas while editing a document, for example, and tracking actions under all personas enables simultaneous or separate visual display so users can quickly spot differences in their own work, not just the work of a separate user. Various features include persona creation and settings per each persona distinguishable from other personas. Creation of personas can occur during installation or upon selection of options. Settings include colors for editing functions and formatting for insertions like underlining. Detecting a switch in personas is another feature as is event logging. Persona switching occurs via icon or menu selection. Optionally, security features also authenticate users.
