    Umbrco 4.6 "Get Started" tab in content tree

    Is it possible to add custom content to this tab? We would like to add a "Dummies Guide" as the first thing that users see when they log in. 

    If it IS possible, can this content be dynamic?

    Thanks!

    Hi Rob

    It should be possible to do.

    In the config folder there is a dashboard.config, which you can amend to appear the way you like including loading your own user controls etc.

    It's possible to make the content dyamic indeed...It's really just a matter of what you put into your user control I suspect.

    Hope this helps :-)

    /Jan

    One more question on this - I have set up some user specific controls to give a site specifc "dashboard" and Dummies Guide as as the first thing the user sees - all working fine and looks good.

    I thought I could do the same for a custom section I have set up for product management, to give a product specific dashboard for users authorised on that section, so I added this to Dashboard.config:

       <section alias="BusinessSections">
           <areas>
              <area>myCompany</area>
         </areas>
         <tab caption="Start">
                <control addPanel="true">/usercontrols/MyCompany/ProductDashboard.ascx</control>
           </tab>
       </section>

    ...where <area>myCompany</area> uses the alias of my custom section.
    However, when I go to the custom section, the right hand side is blank. Can I not do this for custom sections?

    D'oh!  Should have read the Wiki more carefully.

    The answer is, even if your alias is mixed case, the <area/> MUST BE ALL LOWERCASE.

    So, my alias is myCompany, but the area tag needs to be <area>mycompany</area>

    Works fine now.
