Customize Your Personal Home Page

You can customize your home page to display information that you most commonly need.

If the administrator has configured a default home page, it is displayed the first time that you visit the Home tab. If there is no default home page, the welcome message instructs you how to create a personal home page.

Note: If you see no Home tab, you can activate the home page in your personal Settings. Contact your administrator if this feature is deactivated globally.

1. Click the Home tab.
2. Click the Customize link in the top right of the iConsole screen.

   The Customize Home Page dialog displays.
