Digital.ai Release Home Page

Digital.ai Release introduces a new Home page that serves as a centralized hub, providing users with a comprehensive view of their recent workflows, releases, and other relevant information in a single place. This Home page offers a high-level overview, simplifying access to critical information.

For all users within your organization, the Digital.ai Release Home page serves as a customizable starting point. It enables the display of essential updates, product usage guidelines, and highlights new features. This enhances the visibility of the latest product functionalities.

Release Administrators have the flexibility to edit and customize the Home page to align with their organization's unique requirements. This customization facilitates a quicker onboarding process for new users and ensures that existing users can access the most relevant information that is tailored to their specific needs.

note

When upgrading, if the Home page was never customized, it will be automatically updated to the latest default layout. If the Home page was previously customized, it will remain unchanged and will not be overridden.

Here's a look at the Digital.ai Release Home page.

Activate or Deactivate Home Page

Administrators have the ability to enable or disable this feature by selecting or clearing the Show Home page checkbox in the General section. It is enabled by default.

Configure Home Page

Administrators can configure these tiles by clicking the Configure button. For Non-Admin users, the Configure button is not available.

1. Click Configure > Add tiles, then click Add on the tile you want to add.
2. Hover over the tile you want to modify and adjust the relevant settings. Note that the Announcement tile provides a wide range of customization options, whereas the other tiles allow you to update only the Title and Main content fields. Markdown is supported in the Main content field. For the My tasks tile, you can also set the Number of tasks to display, and the Main content text is shown only when you have no active tasks.
3. To add multiple Announcement tiles, click Add tiles again in Configure mode.
4. Click Back to view mode to return to the read-only view of the Home page.

Additionally, Administrators can change the order of the tiles, remove the tiles, change the tile size, rename the tiles, change tile descriptions, and so on.
