Public home pages are read-only pages that display information
about project progress. You can access public home pages without logging
in to IBM® Rational® Focal Point™.
Before you begin
To create home pages, you must be a workspace administrator.
About this task
Users who have public home pages are automatically logged
out of
Rational Focal Point whenever someone
accesses the public home page. To avoid logging users off every time
someone views their pages, create a user to be the owner of a dedicated
public home page.
To create a public home page:
Procedure
- Enable the public home page option:
- Click .
- Set the Public Home Page Option attribute to Enable.
- Click Save.
- Create a dedicated public home page user who has access
to the relevant views:
- Create a user who has the regular user access type.
- Enable the user to access all the views that are displayed
on the public home page.
- Add the user as a member in the workspace that is used
for the public home page. Set the user access type in the workspace
to Workspace Administrator.
Note: To
make a home page public, the user must have workspace administrator
access in the corresponding workspace.

it public:
- Log in with the credentials of the public home page
user, and open the workspace in which to create the public home page
view.

- Edit the "My home settings" page by adding views and
other windows to the home page.
- Select Enable the Public Home page.
- Right-click Public Home Page URL and
select Copy Shortcut. Paste the URL to another
Web browser window. Make the URL available to other users so that
they can access the home page. For example, you might post the URL
on the internal Web site of your organization.
- To save your home page settings, click OK.
- Set the access level for the public home page user:

your normal workspace administrator credentials.

Note: - The URL is buffered for 1 minute. If you enable a home page, enter
its URL in a Web browser, and then disable the page, the URL is updated
in 1 minute.
- If the home page displays a view that uses filters, the filters
affect the information that is displayed on the home page.
