You can configure a custom homepage for IBM® Cognos® TM1® Web to display a Websheet, cube view,
or a URL after users have successfully logged into IBM Cognos TM1 Web. This homepage can provide users with
a starting point for accessing and working with TM1 data.
A homepage can be configured globally for all IBM Cognos TM1 Web users or assigned individually for
different users or sets of users. For example, if you configure the
homepage option to display an HTML file or other type of web page,
then you can provide users with instructions, tasks, links, or any
other content that can be displayed in a web page.
If a homepage is configured, it displays on the first tab in IBM Cognos TM1 Web and cannot be closed by users. When
configured, a Home link is displayed in the header area of IBM Cognos TM1 Web that allows users to easily return
to the homepage.
An IBM Cognos TM1 Web homepage
can be configured in one of the following two ways:
- Different homepage for different IBM Cognos TM1 Web
users - Use the Client Settings dialog in TM1 Architect
and Server Explorer to configure a startup homepage for different
clients (users) of IBM Cognos TM1 Web.
- Global homepage for all IBM Cognos TM1 Web
users - Use the HomePageObject parameter in the tm1web_config.xml file
to configure a homepage that applies globally to all IBM Cognos TM1 Web users.
Note: Any homepage assignment you make with the Client
Settings dialog can override the global setting in the tm1web_config.xml file
if you set AllowOverwrite=true in the HomePageObject parameter
of the tm1web_config.xml file.
