Understanding the Home View

When launching the web client for the first time, the Home view is the only view available, as it can be seen in the Sidenav. For more details, please refer to Section Understanding the Sidenav List.

The default Home view only displays the Scenario List widget. For more details, please refer to Section Using the Scenario List Widget.

Just like for custom views and dashboards, one can configure the visibility of the toolbar and Scenario Selector for the Home view. For more details, please refer to Section Understanding the Views and Dashboards Management View.

Users can define a dashboard — not a view — as their custom Home view, either:

  • Via the Views and Dashboards Management view, or

  • Via the Application Preferences parameter HOME_VIEW_ID, set to the desired dashboard ID. A dashboard ID is located at the end of the page URL, between .../custom-dashboard/ and any interrogation mark (?) followed by parameters, as in:

    https://www.xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx/custom-dashboard/5b2bc372-3ee7-4dc3-95fe-7e7b19ebb4e7?link=ec3a055f-38d3-4520-abc9-0563941998c4

    For more details, please refer to Section Setting Application Preferences.

After setting a dashboard as custom Home view, the default Home view is still available in the Sidenav List.

Custom Home View

Note:

Note that, to avoid losing the custom Home view configuration, the Application Configuration must be exported and reimported to make sure it is taken into account. For more details, please refer to Sections Exporting an Application Configuration File and Importing an Application Configuration File.
