Confluence 2.10 Documentation

Index

You can configure Confluence to direct users to any of the space home pages on the site when they log in, rather than to the Dashboard.

To configure the site-wide home page,

  1. Go to the 'Administration Console' and click 'General Configuration' in the left-hand panel.

  2. Click 'Edit' next to the 'Site Configuration' panel.

  3. Select a space from the 'Site Homepage' dropdown menu. When users log in, Confluence will open the home page of the space you choose here.

  4. Ensure that the 'View Space Goes to Browse Space' option is set to 'Off' if you want users to be sent to the space home page and not the space summary page.

  5. Click the 'Save' button at the bottom of the screen.


The spaces available to be set as your home page will depend on the access permissions of the space and the site.

  • If your site allows anonymous access, the site home page must also be anonymously accessible.
  • The site home page must be accessible to the 'confluence-users' group.

    Once the default Site Homepage has been changed, how can a user easily return to the home page?

    For example - once I set the default home page to something other than the dashboard, the dashboard still remains in the breadcrumb instead of displaying the newly configured site home page.

      Hi Ron

      Thank you for pointing this out. It's a tricky one. If we set the breadcrumb trail to include the re-configured home page, instead of the Dashboard, then the breadcrumb trail would look a bit odd. The Dashboard is at the 'top' of the hierarchy, because it sits above all spaces. But a space home page might result in a breadcrumb trail something like this:
      My Home Page > Space > My Home Page
      instead of:
      Dashboard > Space > My Home Page.

      The best solution would be a configurable Dashboard, so that the administrator can change the content of the Dashboard.

      If you're interested, you could take a look at JIRA issue CONF-208. You can also and vote for the issue, to help boost its priority.

      Cheers – Sarah
