Resetting homepage to default

Both users and administrators can change the Cloudera Data Visualization homepage back to its default value.

Reseting your own homepage to default

When a simple user resets their homepage to default, it reverts to the setting that applies to all users.

The following steps demonstrate how you can set your homepage back to default:

  1. Log in as a user with simple viewing privileges.
  2. On the main navigation bar, click the Gear icon to open the Settings menu.
  3. Click Set Homepage in the drop-down menu.
    The Set Homepage interface appears.
  4. Click Reset to admin-defined homepage.
    You can see that the dashboard changes to the default global homepage.

    A message confirming the success of setting the dashboard to the admin-defined default appears briefly.

  5. Click HOME at the top navigation bar to check that the admin-defined dashboard you have just specified appears.

    The HOME view changes to the default homepage defined by the administrator.
