How to Define My Page Layout for Users in MicroStrategy Web

By default, MicroStrategy Web uses the home page as its start page. As an administrator, you can change the default start page that appears when MicroStrategy users log in. For example, you can customize the page to display Shared Reports of your selection, recently used dashboards, or add/remove images, folders, and HTML containers.
