Title: Portal Homepage
Post by: campbe07 on 10 Jul 2008 02:46:21 PM
Howdy,

I am looking to make a portal page the first page that a user sees when he or she logs into Cognos Connection.  Right now, when a user goes to view Cognos Content, the user is sent to the public folder.  Does anyone know how to make the portal page the default page when the user logs in.

Thanks,
campbe07

Found a way to hardcode it, but it was through Cognos Support Documentation, so I will not post the solution since Cognos technically owns the solution (its part of the knowledgebase).  But I can provide the link:  http://support.cognos.com/knowledgebase/googlesearch?load_kb_document=1&dr=kb1&uniqueid=111758

Thanks,

Its simple. Go to Tools -- > Directory -- >

On the toolbars, the last but one toolbar button is to set default profile to users. Go there and you can change the Default settings of My Preferences. You can uncheck the 'Show Welcome Page at login'. This settings will be applied for all new users that login after you set default settings. None of the current users will see the effect of this change. For this, you should have set this default profile before setting up users or make this setting to each and every user.
