MicroStrategy ONE
How to Change the MicroStrategy Web Default Start Page
By default, MicroStrategy Web uses the home page as its start page. You can change the default start page that appears when you log in. For example, you can determine whether the last report you executed is the first thing that you see when you log into Web.
You must have the necessary privileges to change the default start page preference. For more information, contact your administrator.
To Change the Default Start Page
- Log in to a project. (How?)
- Click your user name and select Preferences from the drop-down.
- Select General.
- In the Default start page field, select from one of the following:

of the start page options in the drop-down to determine which
area of MicroStrategy Web appears after you log into the project:
