Way to have set Content as the default home page in 11.2?

  • 1.  Way to have set Content as the default home page in 11.2?

    Posted Wed March 02, 2022 11:54 AM
    Hello all,

    We recently moved to 11.2 and I'm looking for a way to set the 'Content' page as the default Home Page for all users. I know that you can set it in 'Profile and settings' for an individual account, but I'd like it to be the default for everyone. Users are getting somewhat confused by the new default welcome page.

    As an aside, is there a way to set the default portal content format for all users as well? (to list instead of tiles)

    Thank you!
    Eric

    Hey Eric,

    I actually just wrote an article for the PM2 newsletter that touches on this, but because it's you I'll give you a sneak peek. 

    Basically the solution I found is to write a custom view that automatically redirects to perspective=content then apply that view to a role. Put all the users you want to redirect in that role.



    Upload the attached zip as an extension. Let me know how it works for you.

    You're the man Paul, Thank you! I figured it would have something to do with creating a custom home page. I'll give it a try later today and let you know how it goes.

    Worked like a dream. I set it as the global home page and everything is looking good. The personalized message for me was a nice extra touch ;).
