Making a list as a "homepage"

[raulron]

Hi,

For one of our teams, the active tasks they have are displayed as a list of records. it was created as a menu application module of list of records type.

I would like this team to see this list as their default "homepage" so they will not need to click the menu application module every time.

Is there a way to have a menu application module as a default displayed page?

Thanks.

Thanks all, i am well aware of the options you offer. but here's the problem - after long debates and pros & cons evaluations, it was decide with the team that application modules of the list of records type is the best solution for them. there were many reasons. for example, as opposed to reports, we can define field styles in lists which is imprtant to them. also, lists provide very simple and quick filtering by column. not less important, it provides ability to edit fields from the list itself. etc.

So a report gauge is naturally not an option. also as far as i saw, when you create a list gauge, it does not provide you with the column based filtering at the top like in application modules.

So all the requirements were met perfectly by this solution, except for one. There is a specific list they need to see by default as the first thing when they login.

That's the requirement i am looking a solution for.

You do not have to use reports. You can build a filter in a list and save it as explained here:

Using Filters and Breadcrumbs - ServiceNow Wiki

Then you can add that filter to a homepage (Add content > Filter > Your Table Name > Your Filter Name). It will have all the appplicable field styles and list editing capabilities.

Thanks Slava,

your suggestion sounds like the solution i was looking for. however, for some reason i wasn't able to save a filter. or at least i couldn't find it anywhere...

But it did got me thinking in a direction of other types of gauges or objects i can place in a homepage. and i found that i can copy the query of the list and create an iFrame of it. this works perfectly for my need.

Thanks again.
