Customizing the home page

The Home page tab sets the content of the page users land on after login: which blocks appear, in what order, and the operational notices, links and contacts. This is every colleague’s first screen at each sign-in.

Before you start

• Permission: the home-management right — home:manage (or full tenant admin).
• Where to find it: the Home page tab in the management area.
• ⚠️ Editing the company base requires access to all sites; with a site-scoped right you can only edit that one site’s level.

Which level are you editing? (company base ⟂ site)

The home page has two levels — the same logic as the report template:

• Company base — the default that every site inherits.
• Site — a site may deviate from the company base with its own layout.

On the level selector, the “own” marker means that level has its own settings. The label states either “This level follows the company base” or “This level DEVIATES from the company base — it has its own layout.” The Back to the company base button clears the site’s own layout (it then inherits again).

Blocks — order and visibility

The home page is made of blocks. Use the arrows to reorder and the switch to turn them on/off. Some blocks cannot be removed / are always visible.

Block	What it shows
Header and identity	Hero image · company name · site · clock (hero/company name are set on the General and Public page tabs — one source)
Site switcher	Only with multiple sites; otherwise silently omitted
Internal welcome	The inward-facing briefing (the outward-facing description lives on the Public page tab)
Operational notices	The block controls placement + the switch; you manage the notices below
Shift diary entry	Current shift + plant selector
Module grid	Permissions decide the tiles, not this tab
Documents and internal links	Operating instructions, intranet, emergency numbers
Who to contact	Free-text contacts (gatehouse, external contractors — not app users)
Report a problem	Takes you to the Help reporter

Operational notices

The most important operational element of the home page: a short message to every colleague who signs in.

1. Click + New notice.
2. Enter the notice text.
3. Set the severity — Information or Warning.
4. Set the scope — All sites or the current site.
5. Optionally set Valid from / until — empty means no limit. An expired notice is not shown on the home page, but you still see it here (marked Expired / Not yet active).
6. Set it enabled to make it visible; save.

A limited number show at once

Only a few notices fit on the home page at once; the rest are shown as “+N more”. The Operational notices block is not rendered on the home page when empty.

Documents and internal links

1. + Add link, then enter the Label and the Address (URL).
2. Choose the Target — Internet · Internal network · Within the app — and whether it opens in a New tab.

Internal (http://) addresses are allowed

An http:// internal address is allowed — it is not rewritten to https. It only opens from the site network, and we do not check its availability.

Who to contact (contacts)

With + Add contact you add free-text contacts: Role, Name, Phone, Email. This is the place for the gatehouse or an external contractor who are not app users.

Desktop width

On large screens, the content width: Diary width (same as the shift diary’s centre column, a calmer line length) or Wide (the full screen). No effect on mobile.

Preview and save

The Open preview button opens the real home page in a new tab — there is no separate preview that could diverge from it. After Save, the change is live.

If someone else edited meanwhile

If the same level was changed by someone else in the meantime, the save says: “Reload the page and save again.” This prevents you from silently overwriting the other change.

Common problems

What you see	Why	What to do
No “Home page” tab	You do not have the home:manage (or full admin) right.	Ask your admin.
I cannot edit the company base	This requires access to all sites.	Edit at site level, or request full access.
A notice does not appear on the home page	Expired / not yet active / disabled, or a different scope.	Check the validity, the switch and the scope.
The hero image/company name is not edited here	They come from one source.	Set them on the General (company name) and Public page (hero) tabs.
