Setting a Landing Page
The Home page is the default landing page when you log on to Business Console. You can customize the landing page according to your preferences. Business Console uses an order of precedence to determine the landing page to display for a user.
The following table lists the options in Business Console to set a landing page, and the privileges that you must have to perform each task.

Order of Precedence
Business Console uses an order of precedence to determine a landing page to display.
The order of precedence for displaying a landing page is as follows:
*Option 1. Setting a landing page for yourself in Business Console is first in priority.
*Option 2. Setting an AppSpace as the landing page for yourself is second in priority.
*Option 3. Setting an AppSpace as the landing page for specific Business Console users is third in priority.
The following example describes the order of precedence:
Consider that John has both Administrative and user privileges. He is in the group BC1 and belongs to the role User. John uses option 1 to set a landing page MyPage. Additionally, John uses option 2 to set an AppSpace MyApp as his landing page. The Administrator also uses option 3 to set a specific AppSpace BC1App as John's landing page.
In this example, the landing page MyPage (set using option 1) is displayed in Business Console for John.
If option 1 is not configured, MyApp (set using option 2) is displayed as the landing page for John. If option 1 and option 2 are not configured, BC1App (set using option 3) is displayed as the landing page for John.
Moreover, the Administrator can use option 3 to set a default landing page for users, groups, and roles. For example, consider that the Administrator sets BC1 as the landing page for John's group, Role 1 as the landing page for John's User role, and J1 as the landing page for John. In this case, when John logs on, J1 is displayed as the default landing page. If J1 is not set, the landing page for John's User role Role1 is displayed. If both J1 and Role 1 are not set, the landing page for John's group BC1 is displayed.
