Customize

Your Home module is a personalized view of the most relevant information for you. You can customize it to display the information you need in the layout you prefer.

Customize

Personalize your Home Module by selecting and adding relevant and important modules. This way, you can stay up to date with the latest information from your company!

Please note, customization is accessible to users only if your domain administrators have enabled this feature. Administrators have the ability to lock the Home Module, restricting the removal or addition of new items to Home. Administrators can also opt for a partial lock on the Home Module. In this case, users retain the ability to add and remove certain widgets, while administrators maintain the authority to lock specific widgets, preventing their removal from the Home Module.

If you can see the Customize icon, as seen in the below image, you are able to customize your Home Module. If you do not see the icon, it means that your admins have locked the Home Module.

For more information on locking the Home Module, visit the Admin Portal Guide here.
