How to change default dashboard on Admin home?

I want to change the default dashboard of Admin Home to a custom dashboard. However, as described in PRB1797066, there is a problem and I cannot change it from Admin Home, so I want to set it from somewhere else. Please tell me how to do this.

The default dashboard is tied to user preferences, specifically the home.dashboard preference.

 

Go to the User Preferences Table:

Navigate to System Definition > User Preferences (sys_user_preference table).
Find the Relevant User Preference:

 

Look for a preference where:
Name = home.dashboard
User = <Your Admin User> or leave blank for global changes.
Modify or Create the User Preference:

 

If it exists:
Update the Value field with the sys_id of the desired dashboard.
If it doesn’t exist:
Create a new user preference with:
Name: home.dashboard
User: Leave blank for global default or specify an admin user.
Value: The sys_id of your custom dashboard.
Find the sys_id of the Dashboard:

 

Go to Dashboards (pa_dashboards table).
Search for your custom dashboard and copy its sys_id.
Save and Test:

 

Log in as the admin user and verify the change.

 

I hope this helps

Hi Ct111.

Thank you reply.

 

I tried the method described, but it didn't work.(Admin home dashboard is not changed custom dashboard.)

I set it up like in the attached image, but could you please check if there is an error?
