How to set Default Landing Pages?

Profit.co allows users to set a default landing page so they are taken directly to their most-used section every time they log in. Users with department or sub-department access can configure their landing page to reflect their specific position within the organizational hierarchy.

What is the Default Landing Page?

The Default Landing Page setting in Profit.co determines which page a user is directed to immediately after logging in. It can be configured per user from Preferences and supports a wide range of menus and views across the platform.

Each time the user logs in - or clicks the company logo from any page - they are taken directly to their configured landing page. Both the Menu (module) and View (display format) can be customized independently.

Why Default Landing Pages Matter

Users who work primarily within a specific module - such as Tasks, OKRs, or a particular department - no longer have to navigate from the Home screen on every session. The setting removes repetitive navigation steps and ensures users arrive at the most relevant context for their role.

For organizations with complex hierarchies, landing pages tied to sub-departments give users a focused, access-appropriate starting point. This improves usability and reinforces access control by surfacing only what is relevant to each user.

Department and Sub-Department Landing Pages

Profit.co's organizational hierarchy supports main departments and multiple sub-department levels. The default landing page respects this structure based on the user's access level.

Upon login, each user is directed to their assigned department or sub-department view automatically, without any manual navigation.

How It Works

Follow these steps to configure your default landing page in Profit.co:

Step 1

• Click on your Profile icon at the bottom-left corner of the sidebar.
• Select Preferences from the menu.
• Navigate to the General tab within the Preferences window.

Step 2

• On the Default Landing Page section on the General page.
• Use the Menu dropdown to select the module you want to land on (e.g., Tasks, OKRs, a specific department, or sub-department).

• Use the View dropdown to select which page should be displayed (e.g., Favorite Workspaces, My Tasks, All Employees' Tasks).
• Click Update to save your selection.
• To reset to the platform default, click Reset.
• Log out and log back in - you will be taken directly to your configured landing page.

Best Practices for Default Landing Pages

• Set the landing page to the module you access first in every session - not necessarily the most-used module overall.
• Users with sub-department access should configure their landing page to that specific sub-department rather than a generic module to avoid landing outside their access scope.
• After any role or department access change, revisit the Default Landing Page setting to ensure it still reflects your current access.
• Use the Reset option when onboarding users who haven't yet determined their most-used module - it avoids mis-configured landing pages during the adjustment period.
• Administrators should inform users of this setting during onboarding so that each team member configures it to match their primary workflow from day one.
