If you do not make a selection in this dropdown list, your Home page is the initial landing page. The list of possible landing pages includes all standard tabs and custom tabs in your center. The page you select here is overridden if your account administrator sets the general company Landing Page preference to use a custom landing page created by a Suitelet.
