Customizing the Portal
The top page of Kintone is referred to as the "portal". The portal is the entry point to Kintone and is usually the most visited page.
The following describes what information the portal displays by default and how to customize the portal.
Information Displayed on the Portal
By default, the portal displays the following information areas:
| Area | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Announcement |
Displays any information that needs to be shared to Kintone users. You can add apps and graphs to this area. Announcement can easily attract users' attention. This is a good place for information that you strongly want to present to users. For example, you can present important notices and links to commonly used apps and spaces. For details, see Using Announcements. |
| 2. Notifications | Displays update notifications from apps, spaces, and People. Displayed information depends on the user. |
| 3. Assigned to Me | Displays the user’s tasks (that is, records where the assignee is set to the user in apps with Process Management). Displayed information depends on the user. Nothing is displayed when the user has no tasks assigned. |
| 4. Spaces | Displays spaces of which the user is a member. Different spaces appear depending on the user. |
| 5. Apps | Lists apps from the user's Favorites list. Different apps appear depending on the user. |
