Public home pages can be accessed without logging in to Focal Point. You can display information about your current project progress on a public home page.
About this task
Users with public home pages are automatically logged out of Focal Point whenever the public home page is accessed. Instead of making a specific user home page public, create a dedicated public home page user.
Procedure
1 Enable the public home page option:
▪ Click Application > Data Access.
▪ Set the Public Home Page Option attribute to Enable.
▪ Click Save.
2 Create a dedicated public home page user who has access to relevant views:
▪ Create a new user that has the regular user access type.
▪ Enable the user to access all views that are displayed on the public home page.
▪ Add the user as a member in the workspace that is used for the public home page. Set the user access type in the workspace to Workspace Administrator.
Note To make a home page public, the user must have the workspace administrator access level in the corresponding workspace.
3 Create a home page for the public home page user, and make it public:
▪ Log in with the public home page user credentials, and then open the workspace in which to create the public home page view.
▪ To edit the home page settings, click user name > Home Page Settings.
▪ Edit My home settings page by adding views and other windows to the home page.
▪ Select Enable the Public Home page.
▪ Right-click, and then select Public Home Page URL > Copy Shortcut. Paste the URL to another web browser window, or make it available for other users by, for example, publishing it on your internal website.
▪ To save your home page settings, click OK.
4 Set the access level for the public home page user:
▪ Log out of the public home page user, and then log in with your normal workspace administrator credentials.
▪ Click User > Manage Users to select the public home page user.
