What it is. What everybody sees on the portal's home page.

What it does. You choose which cards appear, and in what order.

Why it helps. Each card shows every person their own data, so one setting suits everybody. You are choosing the layout, not the contents.

Opening it​

Where: Admin → Home

  1. Click Admin in the top menu.
  2. Click Home in the row of tabs.

Home

Be careful not to confuse this with the Home tab in the main menu — that is the home page itself. This one is inside the Admin Console.

Choosing the cards​

The screen has two lists:

  • Available on the left — cards not currently shown.
  • Shown (in order) on the right — the cards people see, top to bottom.
  1. To add a card: click it on the left, then click Move selection to Shown (in order).
  2. To remove one: click it on the right, then click Move selection to Available.
  3. To reorder: click a card on the right, then Move selection up or Move selection down.
  4. Click Save Home.

What each card shows​

CardShows
Metric tilesRecord counts in a strip across the top.
AnnouncementA message you write, shown to everybody.
My TasksThat person's open tasks. Overdue ones in red.
Recent RecordsWhat that person opened recently.
Upcoming EventsEvents on records that person works with.
Quick linksShortcuts to each tab.

A different home page per app​

At the top is a box reading Default (all apps).

  1. Leave it on Default (all apps) to set the home page everybody gets.
  2. Or choose an app to give that app its own home page.

An app with no home page of its own uses the default, so you only set this where a team needs something different.

Writing an announcement​

  1. Make sure Announcement is in the Shown list.
  2. Type your message in the box below.
  3. Click Save Home.

Everybody sees it on their home page. Clear the text and save again to remove it.
