Hi Jeff,

thanks for the insights! I assume we can combine this one with the new Dashboard feature in the latest Innovator version. Will definitely be useful!

FYI we found a way to do this with help or Aras and our own fiddling. Assuming you want to display a form that's already linked to an itemtype:

1) Edit "StartingPage List" and add the value for the ItemType with the value = name of the ItemType

2) Set this for the User from the Starting Page dropdown

3) Open the ItemType

4) Open Client Style

5) Open the _TOC_Configuration item. If none exists, make a new one

6) Create a new CommandBarSection. Classification: Data Model, Location: TOC, Identity: whomever you want

7) Open the newly created item.

8) Add a new CommandBarItem. ItemType: Button, Action: Add, Identity: whomever you want

9) Open the item. In "Additional Data", use : {"itemTypeId":"ID OF ITEMTYPE","formId":"ID OF FORM"}

Save it all. Have the user logout and log back in and they should now see the Form as their landing page.

As far as I know starting page is under heavy construction in general. It would make sense, the current ones are pretty useless (we still have the popular I12 white screen).

I guess they want to make something configurable for the user that contains ItemType links, but also notifications and the In Basket tasks.
I think the user defined "Startingpage List" will sooner or later die. And I will not miss it.

In your case only Aras can tell you about the status in I14+ :)
