Hi @Kajal8 and @sailers

So I have tested some back and fourth in my PDI and have found following solution:

1. go to the table "sys_user_preference"

2. Create a new preference with following settings:

Description	my_home_navigation_page
Name	my_home_navigation_page
System	Checked
User	<<Empty>>
type	String
Value	$pa_dashboard.do?embedded=true&sysparm_dashboard=02874c6d3b400300b90c4bb534efc4f1

3. remember to change 02874c6d3b400300b90c4bb534efc4f1 to the SYSID of the Dashboard that should be the default homepage.

4. Open sys_properties.list from the application picker navigator:

5. Go to the property named 'glide.login.home',

6. change the value from default value to "home.do".

You are now ready to test the solution.

Hi Kajal,

I believe the dashboard defaults to the most recently viewed. You may also find this post helpful:
