Displaying Multiple Saved Searches on Your Home Page
Currently, you can add up to six custom search portlets to a home page dashboard.
When placed in the right or left columns of a dashboard, custom search portlets display only the first 2 results columns of the saved search. When placed in the center column, they display the first 7 results columns. Custom search portlets also include New, Edit, and View columns with clickable links for each result record.
If you would like to display results for more than six saved searches on this page, you can do one of the following:
-
Display an additional saved search in a list portlet.
-
Set up a custom tab for your standard home page where you can add more search portlets.
-
Create a new custom tab and designate it to be your landing page instead of the standard home page.
See the following topics:

Creating a New Custom Tab (This option gives you the most flexibility, if you have permissions to do it.)
Setting Up a Custom Tab for a Standard Page
To display results from more than six saved searches on your home page, you can set up a custom tab for a standard page, add multiple Custom Search portlets to the tab, and make the tab your landing page.
To set up a custom tab for a standard page:
