An electronic device may have multiple users and multiple customized user interfaces for each user resulting in a large number of user customized UI dashboard configurations. However, defining these user customized UI dashboard configurations is performed by each user such that addition and/or replacement of software applications requires users to reconfigure customized UI dashboards. Similarly, organization generated dashboards must be configured on each user device. It would be beneficial for such user customized UI dashboard configurations to be updateable in response to information provided during new software installation, software upgrades, etc. or for UI dashboard configurations to be adjusted absent any such update/upgrade. It would also be beneficial for context rules to be adaptable based upon learned behavior or external adjustments just as it would be beneficial for the context rule engine to automatically identify new potential rules as a result of current and previous behavior.
