After you have created home pages, you can assign these
pages to users to ensure that they have access to information they
use regularly. You can specify that pages can be added to users list
of home pages, or are displayed as the default home page. Any personal
default pages defined by users override default pages that you set
up. Use the following procedure to distribute home pages to users.
About this task
The following rules govern conflicts between admin- and
user-defined home pages:
- Users cannot create home pages that have the same names as pages
that the administrator created.
- If users modify a home page that an administrator distributes
to them, they can see their versions of reports. If the administrator
changes and redistributes the report, the users still see their reports.
- If the administrator defines a default home page for the user
and the user has a default home page, the user page is used.
- User home pages are added to the administrator set, and the user
sees a list containing both sets in the Home Pages list.
Procedure
To assign home pages:
- On the Action Panel of the User interface, click Home.
- On the left navigation pane, in the Administration list,
click Assign Default Home Pages.
- In the Sort by list, specify whether
to show users or groups.
- The complete list is shown under the All tab,
or the Filter tab can be used to show a subset
of users.
- The Everyone Else option sets home pages
for users who have not set home pages.
- The Assigned tab shows only the users or
groups that have assignments.
- To filter the list, select Filter,
type a string to be matched, and then press Go.
- In Home Pages list, specify the
appropriate setting.
- To display home pages to the selected users or groups,
click Visible.
- To select the default home page, click Default.
Only pages defined as visible can be selected as default pages.
- Use Select All to set all home pages as
accessible.

non-accessible.

of a selected user or group.

settings to the current user, group, or multi-selected items.
