Creating a custom home page

When logging in to MINT, by default a user sees the following home page (depending on the history, the sections Popular Resources and Recently Viewed Items can contain links to resources and objects in the MINT repository).

However, the home page a user sees when logging in can be customized based on the role of the user. Possible landing pages include:

  • A specific dashboard - this is useful if for example a group of users is interested in very specific indicators only and should not care about other objects in the repository. Setting the home page to a dashboard containing those indicators makes the relevant information available at a glance, without having to click around and find the relevant objects in a potentially long list or in nested folders.
  • A specific report - same as above, the relevant information can be captured in a report instead of a dashboard. It could also be useful to create a report that contains a list of available reports, so that the user logging in can see reports relevant for her or him at a glance.
