Assigning a default home page

By default, the home location is the Viewpoint Homepage—a default dashboard that contains gadgets (for more information, see Homepage gadgets). However, you can assign a different home page by specifying a URL in the <default-home-page> element of the navigation.xml file.

To assign a default Homepage

  1. Open the navigation.xml file in the $VIEWPOINT_HOME/hpc directory, and locate the <default-home-page> element.
  2. Replace the default (dashboard/index) with the URL of the Viewpoint page you want to make your home page, relative to http://<hostname>:<port>/moab/.
  3. For example, if you wanted the default home page to be the View Nodes page, you would do the following:
  4. <navigation>
      <default-home-page>nodes</default-home-page>
    ...

    You should make sure that you choose a page that all users have permissions to access when you assign a new default home page
