Home Page Icons and What They Can Do

You can use the icons on your application's home page for navigation, search, configuration, and other tasks that are common across applications. Here are a few icons useful to your setup.

This table consist of a list of Home Page icons and their functions that will help you understand their usability::

Callout Number	Icon Name	Function
1	Navigator	You can use it to quickly get to the most frequently used work areas and tools.
2	Page Controls (The series of dots arranged horizontally in the center of the Home page.)	You can use these to toggle between the Welcome Springboard and the Quick Actions page. The Welcome Springboard page has links to the most frequently used work areas and tools. The Quick Actions page provides quick access to tasks. You can determine which of these pages should be displayed as the home page for users.
3	Global Search	Let's you search transactional data across different objects. This field doesn't appear until you enable global search.
4	Home	Returns you to the page defined as the home page. By default, home is the Welcome Springboard page displaying the different work area icons.
5	Favorites and Recent Items	Marks a page as favorite and provides access to recently viewed pages.
6	Watchlist	Not used in the Customer Data Management Cloud application. Watchlist enables the tracking of business objects in some applications.
7	Notifications	Accesses application notifications. Some of these are also delivered using e-mail.
8	User image or Initials	Opens the Settings and Actions menu. From the menu, you can sign out, personalize and configure the User Interface, turn on and access help, and navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area.
