Configuring the Generated Personal Page

When users first log on to EPM Workspace, a default generated Personal Page is listed under Favorites, which EPM Workspace automatically creates and saves the page as part of the user’s Personal Pages. Changes the administrator makes do not affect users who have logged on previously. Therefore, the time of the first log on determines the exact content of a user’s generated Personal Page.

After logging on initially, users modify their own Personal Pages. They can also create additional Personal Pages.

Due to access permissions, the generated page may differ between users. By carefully setting access permissions on files used for the generated page, you can arrange, for example, for users in the Sales department to see different content on the generated page than users in the Production department.

Items included on the generated Personal Page by default:

One Broadcast Messages content window with links to all items in /Broadcast Messages
One Broadcast Messages file content window for each displayable item in Broadcast Messages
One content window for each of the first two preconfigured folders
The first (as sorted) displayable HTML item in any preconfigured folder
My Bookmarks content window
Exceptions Dashboard content window

You can customize items included by default by setting Generated Personal Page properties in Personal Pages Properties

To configure the generated Personal Page, do any or all of these tasks:

Set Generated Personal Page properties in Personal Pages Properties.
Populate Broadcast Messages with combinations of nondisplayable items for which links display on the generated Personal Page, and displayable HTML files or external links, whose content displays there.
All these items appear as links and constitute one content window under the Broadcast Messages heading. Some displayable items may be displayed as file content windows, depending on configuration settings in Generated Personal Page properties.

In Broadcast Messages, create preconfigured subfolders that are displayed when users first log on. Populate these folders with displayable HTML items. Each preconfigured folder has a corresponding content window that contains links to all items in the folder. Each displayable item is displayed as a file content window.

Tip:

As with any content, only users with required access permissions can see items and folders in Broadcast Messages and other preconfigured folders. To tailor the generated page for groups, put folders and items intended for those groups in Broadcast Messages and preconfigured folders, and assign access permissions to the target groups. For example, if each group accesses different subsets of preconfigured folders, then users in each group see different content windows when they first log on.
