Set up your console and home page

This section provides instructions on how to customize your console and home page, including configuring the console layout and skin, defining the main links and portlets in the console, and customizing the text that displays to users throughout the system.

A home page is the first page you view after logging into Civic Platform or the page that displays after selecting the Home button on the console toolbar. To customize your home page, you must create a main link and add the portlets you want associated with it. Then you must ensure that the main link you want to use for the home page is in the first position.
