Assigning home pages

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.
