Working with Start Experience configuration
The Start Experience refers to the pages displayed to a first-time Homepages user. This is the same experience that a user sees after deleting all pages in , refreshing the page, or logging in again.
This topic describes the options for configuring one or more pages within the Start Experience so that first-time users can quickly become familiar with the Homepages content.
The pages presented to a new user or a user with no pages are based on these page types:
- Mandatory pages
A mandatory page is mandatory for all users or users with specific roles, depending on their configuration, and cannot be removed from . Mandatory pages are configured via the setting. Multiple mandatory pages can be added.
A mandatory page is always positioned first in the page order regardless whether the user has pages or not. If you have configured a mandatory page and want users to always see the first mandatory page upon login, turn off the setting. See Page settings.
- Default pages
Default pages are configured via the setting. See Page settings. Default pages are displayed only for users who have no pages, whether the user is a first-time user or a user who has deleted all pages in My Pages.
The user is presented with all the applicable pages in the default page configuration.
Note: Default pages are displayed as part of the Start Experience even if a mandatory page has been configured. - Standard pages
A standard page is a page provided by Infor. Standard pages contain predefined content, and can apply to a specific role, application, or CloudSuite. The Standard Pages feature can be enabled in the section. See Working with features.
Standard pages are only displayed as part of the Start Experience if no default pages have been configured. From the available standard pages, up to five pages are assigned automatically to users only if no other pages are configured. If multiple standard pages exist, the pages are applied using this priority:
- Standard pages from CloudSuites
- Standard pages from applications
- Standard pages without dependencies
Infor reserves the right to, at any time, publish new versions of standard pages with updated content. If you do not want to receive updates for a standard page, you can publish a copy of it. See Publishing a copy of a standard page. The published copy can then be configured as a mandatory or default page.
If you do not want standard pages to be part of the Start Experience, disable the Standard Pages feature in the section. See Working with features.
Note: Disabling the Standard Pages feature also removes the standard pages from the catalog.Note: Standard pages are only displayed as part of the Start Experience if no default pages have been configured.
