Home Page

Customizing the Home Page Layout

The Home Page lists all the available Workbooks that the logged-on user has access to. By default, the Workbooks are listed in the order they are defined in the Solution, with a default icon and default colors. This may, however, not be the way you want to display them to end-users.

To customize the order, icon, grouping, and style of the Workbooks displayed on the Home Page, you need to use the InVision Desktop Designer to configure the Home Page layout.

In the application main menu bar, go to Home Page -> Edit Layout and create a configuration if one does not already exist. The xml configuration will have the following format:


    <HomePageConfiguration>
        <WorkbookGroups>
            <WorkbookGroup Heading="Group heading"
                        HeadingTextCode=""
                        MenuImage="">
                <Workbooks>
                    <WorkbookTile/>
                </Workbooks>
            </WorkbookGroup>
        </WorkbookGroups>
        <Workbooks>
            <WorkbookTile WorkbookId="workbook object Id"
                        Order="0...n"
                        Image="url"
                        MenuImage=""
                        CssClass="css class string"/>
            <WorkbookTile WorkbookId="workbook object Id"
                        Order="0...n"
                        Image="url"
                        MenuImage=""
                        CssClass="css class" />
            . . .
        </Workbooks>
    </HomePageConfiguration>

The configuration enables you to define Workbook groups and the order of which the Workbooks are displayed to the end user.

To configure a WorkbookTile, you need to set the WorkbookId attribute. The value of the attribute is the object id of the Workbook that can be found by right-clicking the Workbook in the Solution Explorer and "Copy Id to Clipboard".

Workbook as a Homepage

You can configure a Workbook to be the landing page of InVision instead of the default system homepage. This enables you to create a fully customized and actionable landing page for users instead of just a Workbook launcher portal.
