Using the HomePageObject parameter

The HomePageObject parameter uses the following format:

<add key="HomePageObject" value="ObjectPath ;Type= ObjectType ;Description= ObjectTitle ; AllowOverwrite =true" />

where:

• ObjectPath is the path to the websheet, cube view, or URL object that you want to open. The exact format of the path depends on the type of object.
• ObjectType is the keyword for the object you want to open; websheet, cubeviewer, or URL.
• ObjectTitle is a brief title you assign to the object that displays in the title bar of the web browser and on the homepage tab in IBM® Cognos® TM1® Web.
• AllowOverwrite can be set to a value of true or false as follows:

If you set AllowOverwrite=true then the HomePageObject parameter can be overridden by setting a different homepage for individual clients using the Client Settings dialog in Architect and Server Explorer.

If you set AllowOverwrite=false then the HomePageObject parameter applies globally to all TM1 users and can not be individually configured with the Client Settings dialog in Architect and Server Explorer.

The following sections describe using the HomePageObject parameter for websheets, cube views, and URLs.
