The **Home Page** in Swimlane is a customizable landing screen that offers each user a personalized experience within their tenant. It replaces the static *Welcome Page* with a dynamic interface that reflects your role, preferences, and recent activity—making it easier to access the dashboards, reports, and resources you care about.

**Default Home Page Experience:**
Every new user is provisioned with a pre-built Home page per tenant, ensuring immediate value with no setup required.

**Key Benefits**

- **Favorite Dashboards**: Quickly access frequently used dashboards marked as favorites.
- **Recent Dashboards**: See your most recently accessed dashboards (session-based).
- **Per-User Customization**: Add, resize, rearrange, and remove cards to match your workflow.
- **Admin Configuration**: Admins can preconfigure layouts and push tenant-wide reports.
- **Role-Based Content**: Cards and widgets can render conditionally based on user roles.

## First-Time Home Page View

When a user logs in for the first time, the Home page is pre-populated with helpful cards such as:

### Favorite Dashboard

- Displays dashboards you have marked as favorites.
- Data is persisted across sessions.
- Not editable, but removable and re-addable via *Prebuilt Cards*.

### Recent Dashboard

- Shows up to five dashboards recently accessed.
- **Session-based**—resets between login sessions.
- Dashboards can be favorited directly from this list.

### Swimlane Resources

- Contains helpful links such as documentation, release notes, and SDK access.
- Customizable by tenant admins.

### SignUp for Training

- Custom HTML card directing users to Swimlane e-training or internal training pages.
- Can be replaced with tenant-specific training resources.

This layout is customizable. You can rearrange, resize, or remove cards. Use the “**Add a Card**” button to include reports or other content.

## Adding a Card

To add a new card:

1. Click **Add a Card** in the top-right corner.
2. Fill in the card **Name** and optional **Description**.
3. Choose the **Card Type**:
   - **Report** – Embed a saved report.
   - **HTML** – Add static content using HTML.
   - **Prebuilt** – Restore system cards like Recent or Favorite Dashboards.
4. Complete configuration details and click **Create**.
5. Click **Save**.

### Report Card Example

**Admin Tip:** Use the “**Add report to all Homepages**” toggle to make reports visible across the tenant.

## Customizing the Home Page

- Drag and Drop: Rearrange cards anywhere on the Home page by dragging them into position.
- Resize Cards: Use the drag handles to adjust the size of any card based on content.

### Card Management Controls

Each card includes controls for data management and layout:

| **Control**                      | **Description**                                      |
| -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Refresh**                      | Manually reloads the card’s data.                    |
| **Auto-Refresh**                 | Set a recurring interval for automatic data refresh. |
| **More Options (ellipsis menu)** | Remove or edit the card (if editing is supported).   |

Default cards like *Favorite* or *Recent Dashboards* can be removed but not edited.

## Role-Based Content

Home page cards and content can change depending on your assigned roles:

- Analysts might see dashboards for triage or alert volume.
- Managers may see reports on SLA breaches or analyst performance.

Admins can configure role-based visibility in shared reports and dashboards.

## Make Reports Available to All Users

Admins can push reports across all users’ Homepages:

- Navigate to the report configuration screen.
- Toggle **Add report to all Homepages**.
- Save.

The report becomes part of each user’s layout but can be removed by users if needed.

## Revert to Default

To reset your Home page:

- Click **Revert to Default**.
- Restores the default layout including admin-shared cards.
- Deletes any user-added customizations.
- *Favorite* and *Recent* dashboards can still be re-added via Prebuilt Cards.

## Homepage Management

Administrators and Orchestrators can manage user Homepages from the **Management > Homepages** view. See [Management](https://docs.swimlane.com/management) documentation for more details.
