Easy way to copy a homepage to other users?

alliej428 · ‎12-05-2016

Hi-

I'm looking to copy a homepage from one user, to multiple users. Basically, one of our team leads created a homepage with specific gauges, filters, etc, and they'd like it to show up for a certain group of users in IT. Is there a way to do this? I've been struggling trying to figure out if this can be done.

Thanks!

Well if you're talking about copying the homepage from one user to multiple users in the same instance(i.e. making it a default homepage for a large number of people,which is not technically copying) it's pretty simple you'll just need to have the proper rights and will have to simply edit the homepage/homepage roles for different users in the homepage admin application :

But if you're talking about copying the homepage for users between different instances then there's no easy way and simply copying won't be possible for that you'll need to export and import the complete update set from your team leads instance. Just like this :

Hi

Jamie,

For sharing homepage : Open the page from homepage admin-click on view home page-add any content to anywhere in the page using 'Add content' and close that content which you added now to the page. Again go to home page admin-pages. You can see a page created with your name now.Open that page and give the name of desired user.

Try this.

Thanks&Regards

Haseena.

Hi-

This is what I was trying before, but all it does is create the page with the title, and no content. The dropzones that show on the created page disappear when I put another user's name in there.

Anyone else have an idea? I'm stumped.
