The Home Page

When you sign in to an environment, the Home page, which contains cards that group the activities that you can perform in the environment, is displayed. Cards provide access to key tasks, tutorials, and related information. On clicking a card, a page containing available shortcuts opens. Availability of shortcuts on a page depends on the role you have in the environment.

In addition to service-specific cards, the following common panels, cards, and icons are available on the Home page.

Welcome Panel

The Welcome Panel gives you quick access to key information including messages and the tasks assigned to you. What you see in the Welcome Panel depends on the service.
