Dear all, I use Odoo 16 Community. Whenever user logins he sees the Discussion/ Chat GUI. How can I change to a screen with a list of preassigned apps ?

Many thanks

Thank you very much for your kind help. Very useful your instruction.

But can I set the homepage for group of people? Doing so one by one may be a cumbersome operation.

Thanks

You can customize the user's home page in Odoo to show a list of preassigned apps by following these steps:

  1. Go to the "Settings" menu and select "Users."

  2. Edit the user for whom you want to change the home page.

  3. In the "Home Action" field, select "Custom Action."

  4. Click the "Create" button to create a new custom action.

  5. Give the custom action a name, such as "Home Page."

  6. In the "Action" field, select "Client Action."

  7. In the "Type" field, select "Action Window."

  8. In the "Target" field, select "Current Window."

  9. In the "Context" field, specify the applications you want to show on the home page by adding the following line: {'group_by_app': True}

  10. Save the custom action.

  11. Go back to the user's form and select the custom action you just created in the "Home Action" field.

  12. Save the user form.

From now on, whenever the user logs in, he/she will see a home page with a list of preassigned apps grouped by application.

I am trying to customize a home page also and tried to follow these instructions. However, in V16 I don't see a "Home Action" field. If that is the cog, then I don't see Customer Action when I click that. Thoughts? I am an administrator.

In Odoo v16, the process to customize the home page might have changed. If you can't find the "Home Action" field, you can try the following steps:

Go to the settings (dev mode)
Open the user form
On the right side, find the "Menus Customization" option
From there you can add, remove, or rearrange the elements on the homepage.
