Configuring a Home Screen

This page is for administrators. It explains how to configure a PhixFlow home screen, which is displayed to all PhixFlow users during login.

Overview

By default, PhixFlow does not display a home screen. This means that, when a user first opens PhixFlow, the screen behind the login window is blank. You can configure Phixflow to display a home screen behind the login window. You can:

• either display the standard home screen, which includes the PhixFlow logo, name and version
• or display the standard home screen with custom content, including formatted text and images. Images must be uploaded to PhixFlow.

If the space required by the custom content exceeds the available space on the home screen, PhixFlow automatically adds scrollbars to the content area.

When you configure a home screen, it is displayed behind the login window as the PhixFlow user is logging in.
