Either set the order for the preferred tab to 0 (or the lowest number) on the Dashboard properties from or update the link to include the sysparm_tab parameter the sys_id of the tab.  That link will then always open to the given tab.

Hi

I did that and even figured out to mark as home.  Using Google chrome.

Is "Metrics" not coming up first? It should default to the lowest order ("Metrics" in this case), if not, it is remembering the last tab you viewed or the link includes a specific tab reference.

Nope it isn't coming up first.  The 3rd one is.   So this is the link, it does reference a tab I think.  So my guess is I will have to have a system admin fix the link? Doubt they will know how, new to SN...
