Start Center
A Start Center is a page that gives you quick access to the tools and key performance indicators (KPIs) that you use most frequently. You can change the appearance of the Start Center and can have multiple Start Centers. All your Start Centers are accessible from the main Start Center page.
Accessing your Start Center
To access your Start Center:
- From any page in the application, click the Home icon in the navigation bar.
- If you have multiple Start Centers, click the tab for the Start Center you want to view.
Key features

- Access frequently used applications and actions directly from the Start Center without navigating through menus.
- Key performance indicators (KPIs)
- View real-time metrics and data relevant to your role. To see the most up-to-date data, click Update in the KPI section.

- View customizable widgets that display information such as work lists, charts, and reports.

Understanding Start Center templates
Each Start Center is based on a template assigned to your security group. When you log in, you see a Start Center based on your security group's template. If you belong to multiple security groups, you see multiple tabs, one for each group.
A user with administrative rights can create and change templates, update portlets, and change the appearance of the Start Center. A user with administrative rights can also control which portlets you see and can configure.
By default, Start Center templates are shown in English. However, a user with administrative rights can create Start Center templates that are shown in languages other than English.
