nuBuilder Forum

I'm a fairly new user of nuBuilderPro and I am struggling trying to figure out how to customise the "Home" screen that a user sees when they login. How does one create custom screens that show buttons for accessing various forms? I'm wanting something more tailored than the system auto-generated one. I can see how I can assign a Home Page in the Access Level records, but how do I create additional custom Home Pages?

For example, for one group of users, I'd like to show only a small subset of buttons, add some HTML text to provide instructions (how to use, how to contact the Help Desk, etc), some hyper links to internal websites related to the database. Is this possible? Am I overlooking something obvious?

robl,

You would be best creating a custom Home Page (a Form) for each Access Level.
(You need to use a valid table and PK although they don't actually get used)
Click the 'F' button here to access this Home Page when logged in as globeadmin.
This is where you go to add or arrange Buttons etc on the Home Page.
What the User would see when logging in if their Home Page had no Objects on it.

I hope this answers your question.

Steven:

Thank you!!! I was trying to wrap my head around the "magic combination" to make the custom home pages. This helps tremendously. I tried to look at properties for the default, but it seems to be hidden in some ways within the nuBuilder admin UI. I was able to find its definition in the MySQL database tables, but I wasn't quite grasping the how/why it was implemented that way. Your reply to my post clarifies many things for me. Thanks.

no probs!
