Home Page
The PTC FlexPLM home page appears when you first log on to the system.
In some environments, users might have access to both PTC FlexPLM and Windchill PDMLink. System administrators can use membership in the Retail profile to determine which home page appears when you access the system.
• Users in the Retail profile are automatically directed to PTC FlexPLM when they access the URL for the Windchill server.
• Users who are not in the Retail profile are directed to PTC FlexPLM or Windchill, based on the user's preference setting.
The PTC FlexPLM home page displays both brands and seasons to which you have access along with the Notices section, which includes Reminders and System Notices.

PTC FlexPLM administrators can update the information shown on the home page through property settings. This includes how seasons are grouped, as well as how season names are displayed.

Home Page Dashboards
Role-based home pages allow profiles that control how the application appears to users, based on their role in user groups within the system. Administrators use profiles to turn the role-based home page components on and off. These components provide quick access to the most commonly needed areas of the system.
The following components are available:
• Notices, which includes internal notices and vendor notices for the vendor portal
• Season Dashboard
• RFQ Dashboard
• Order Confirmation Dashboard
• Material Sample Dashboard
• Product Sample Dashboard
From the lists in each dashboard, select the information you want to display and click Run. The system updates the pie chart for that dashboard.
• Hover over sections of the pie chart to view summary information about that section.
• Click a given pie section to view the line sheet or search results that the data represents.
• Pieces of the pie with a label of (Empty) indicate that the object instances in that section do not have a value for the given Group By attribute. Clicking the (Empty) section takes you to a search results page for that object, and includes only those object instances that have no value for the specific Group By attribute.
Access different role-based home page layouts by selecting from the Profiles list on the home page. If cookies are enabled in your browser, the system remembers your profile selection, and automatically loads it the next time you log on to the system.
