Who can use this feature?
|
The homepage is composed of sections called widgets. Platform admins can add, delete, reorder, and configure widgets to tailor the initial view for users and offer quick access to training and learning resources.
You can add up to 300 widgets per page layout. For detailed descriptions of each widget, see the homepage sections →
While the overall homepage layout is the same for all web app users in your organization, what users see depends on widget availability and conditional display rules described below.
About homepage widget availability and display
For any widget to appear on the homepage of the end-user, specific conditions must be met:
- Widget availability: Many widgets only become available on the homepage layout configuration panel if their underlying platform features (such as the Skills solution or learning needs) are active. If these features are not enabled, the corresponding widget cannot be added to the homepage.
- Conditional display: Some widgets (or their content) will dynamically appear or disappear on the user homepage based on the presence of relevant content, specific user roles, or other contextual factors.
Use the table below to understand the conditions that determine whether a widget can be added or displayed on the homepage, and any specific requirements for its content to appear for the end-user.
