Promoting a dashboard as a home screen

Dashboards can be promoted as home screens to other users by having certain tags applied. Users, which don’t have a home screen defined, are presented with a simple screen which encourages configuring the home screen.

The following tags of a dashboard can be used to control the home screen.

Tag

Description

recommended-home

Dashboards with this tag will get listed (max 8) on the home screen if no dashboard has been defined as home yet.

default-home

If a single dashboard with this tag exists, set or suggest this dashboard as the home.
This logic doesn’t apply if one of the following criteria is met:

if the user has access to none or multiple dashboards with this tag.
if the user has already a home defined.

Confirmation Dialog

Operators, who have access to the infrastructure of the platform, can configure the behavior of how home screens are promoted to users with the following option:

Environment Variable	Description
`REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION_FOR_DEFAULT_HOME`	Expects boolean value. If true & there is only one dashboard with defaultHomeTag, the user must confirm the setting of the default home screen. If false & there is only one dashboard with defaultHomeTag, the Portal sets immediately the default home screen without asking the user for confirmation.
