OverviewThe home page displayed after logging in is a dynamic page that site administrators can edit (older sites may still use a static home page). Section fronts are other top level pages like Cases, Timekeeping, and Outreach. Administrators can switch between the static and dynamic home pages and section fronts by marking the dynamic pages active or inactive. NB: Switching to a dynamic home page or dynamic section front will cause a change in behavior for end users. See "sticky filters" in Known Issues below. Creating a Home PageIf a site does not already have a dynamic home page, create one on the Admin > Processes, Forms, and Profiles page. Change the module at the top of that page to "Home/Section Front".Create Tab Blocks (Optional, but usually Desired)Home pages (and section fronts) are typically one or more tab blocks. A typical tab block has the following enabled elements:
Create any desired tab blocks using the "New Home/Section Front Tab Block" action link. Create a new Home/Section Front LayoutThis is the page users see. The page can contain any desired element, but is often one or more tab blocks as noted above.Click the "New Home/Section Front Layout" action link, enter a Name, select "Home" in the Section Front Module dropdown list, and set the Active field to Yes to display the dynamic home page to users, or No to continue displaying the static home page. A dynamic home page also usually contains the "Begin Intake Links" side bar element. That element displays all active intake and prescreen process links. It can be placed in the Side Bar section or the Actions Menu section (or both) as desired. Creating a Section FrontLike dynamic home pages, dynamic section fronts are created and maintained on the Admin > Processes, Forms, and Profiles page.Follow the steps for creating a dynamic home page, but after clicking the "New Home/Section Front Layout" action link, select the desired module in the Section Front Module dropdown list. Editing Home Pages and Section FrontsTo edit an existing home page or section front, change the module on the Admin > Processes, Forms, and Profiles page to "Home/Section Front". All existing section fronts and home pages are on the Profiles tab, and tab blocks on the Tab Blocks tab.Multiple Home PagesSites using the new interface can use Layout Views to create alternate home pages.There is one 'master' home page. Use the "New Home/Section Front Layout View" actions menu link to create the second, third, etc. view. See Profile Views for how to specify by role or user preference which of multiple home pages a user will see by default. Notes and Known Issues
