Want to show different Dashbaord as homepage From 9am to 5pm and different from 5pm to 9am how can we achieve that with the help of sys_id.
I have already used fix script to set the value of dashboard homepage in user_preference table but when i am opening a new dashboard it will automatically set as my homepage.

may be you can use UI script and check the current time for that logged in user and then set the preference

I haven't tested this though.

1) create UI script and use GlideAjax to set the homepage

2) sample script include

var userId = gs.getUserID();
    var now = new GlideDateTime();
    var hour = parseInt(now.getDisplayValue().split(' ')[1].split(':')[0], 10);
    var ampm = now.getDisplayValue().split(' ')[2];
    if (ampm === 'PM' && hour !== 12) hour += 12;
    if (ampm === 'AM' && hour === 12) hour = 0;

    var dashboardUrl;
    // 9am to 5pm
    if (hour >= 9 && hour < 17) {
        dashboardUrl = '$pa_dashboard.do?embedded=true&sysparm_dashboard=SYS_ID_DAY'; // Replace SYS_ID_DAY
    } else {
        dashboardUrl = '$pa_dashboard.do?embedded=true&sysparm_dashboard=SYS_ID_NIGHT'; // Replace SYS_ID_NIGHT
    }

    // Set user preference for homepage
    var pref = new GlideRecord('sys_user_preference');
    pref.addQuery('user', userId);
    pref.addQuery('name', 'my_home_navigation_page');
    pref.query();
    if (pref.next()) {
        pref.value = dashboardUrl;
        pref.update();
    } else {
        pref.initialize();
        pref.user = userId;
        pref.name = 'my_home_navigation_page';
        pref.type = 'string';
        pref.value = dashboardUrl;
        pref.insert();
    }

Hello Ankur,

yes it is working fine "Thank You for that" but do we have any method for cache clearing. Because we have to close current session and open new one (after 2-3 min) or need to clear cache. Can we add Something that in active session we can achieve above requirement.

try this in UI script

  // Only run on the homepage/dashboard
  if (window.location.pathname.indexOf('pa_dashboard.do') !== -1) {
    var now = new Date();
    var hour = now.getHours();
    var dashboardSysId;

    if (hour >= 9 && hour < 17) {
      dashboardSysId = 'YOUR_DAY_DASHBOARD_SYS_ID';
    } else {
      dashboardSysId = 'YOUR_NIGHT_DASHBOARD_SYS_ID';
    }

    // If not already on the correct dashboard, redirect
    if (window.location.search.indexOf(dashboardSysId) === -1) {
      window.location.href = '/$pa_dashboard.do?sysparm_dashboard=' + dashboardSysId;
    }
  }
