    Ok...So I am setting up our Lawson dashboards for our Lawson 10 we are going to implement. We are coming from 9.
    Is there a way to set individual portal roles to have a certain dashboard tab show up as the main home tab that opens when they log in?
    I have two created for our regular employees, but the additional tab is the one that is defaulting when they open up lawson. I have a main one created that I would like to default open when they log in.
    Where is this set?

      In LBI as you create you dashboards, there is a row number field. That field should dictate which ones show first based on you having access to them. So if you change that field you should be set to default in the one you want. You can also create a link to the second dashboard if you didn't want both to show.

        Thanks....I think you are talking about modules within a dashboard. I am speaking of If I have two actual dashboard tabs, how do you default one tab to display as home instead of the other for a portal role

          Nope, what mark mentioned is in reference to the dashboard. Really theres no way to "default" the dashboard but what you can do move the order around. If you have two roles and they both have access to the same two dashboards but you want each to have a different dashboard be a default dashboard, then you in trouble. The only way to do this is on a user-by-user basis and there is nowhere in the FS UI to set this at an administrative level. Each user will need to go in and set their default dashboard or you could try updating the FS repository to set a specific dashboard as their default dashboard but youll have to figure out where that is stored in the database.
