Configurable Welcome Page

Hi
It's a good idea. I will add this to our todo list.

Hello,

This feature has been added to RDM and should be available on the next beta.

To use it go in Administration -> Data Source Settings -> General -> Check the "Use web or html welcome page" checkbox.

You can either link directly to a web page or use your own .html document.

If you use a web page you can simply type "http://www.YourWebsite.com" in the textbox.

If you use the .html document, you will need to type the Path by hand to a folder all your employees share. Here is an example : C:\FolderAccessibleByAllUsersOfWelcomePage\welcomepage.html

The interface will look like this :

Hello,

We’d like to integrate our RDM user manual on the Welcome page.

It would be nice if there will be a setting to always display the welcome page at startup, also by users who have already disabled the welcome page.
So that all users have the user manual available in RDM. A configuration checkbox in the datasource settings or a Group Policy would be helpful.

Also noticed when clicking on a hyperlink in a .html page, it will open the new page in an external browser instead of in the welcome page itself. It would be great if links to other webpages will open inside the welcome page tab itself (to make it possible to add a .html user manual with multiple pages).

Best regards,
Leonard

Hello,

We will add a GPO to always open the welcome page at startup, and we will add an option for how to handle the hyperlinks in the welcome page. This is currently the intended behavior, but I can see why it would be useful to navigate within the welcome page itself rather than opening externally. A ticket has been created to track these improvements.

Hello Hubert,

The GPO and an option to configure handling of hyperlinks in the welcome page will be great.

Thanks,
Leonard

can you tell me where thsi menu option moved to in version: 2023.2.14.0 64-bit
" Administration -> Data Source Settings -> General -> Check the "Use web or html welcome page" checkbox."

We would like to use this.

Also, is there a way to disable the checkbox allowing the user to bypass the "System Message". We need this to be displayed every time the application is launched (Hi-Trust requirement)

Hello,

You can find the option here:


For the system message, at the moment it's not possible to force users to view it. We could add an option for this. I will open a ticket.
