You’ve spent a lot of time creating the perfect dashboard. You want to make sure that people see it when they start UMP. You’ve tried sending emails to everyone. You’ve called. You’ve stood in their offices. And still they aren’t using the dashboard you created! What can you do?
In CA Unified Infrastructure Management 8.0, you (the system administrator) can specify the default dashboard to display when UMP starts. How, you may ask? It’s really pretty easy.
First, create and save the perfect dashboard.
Next, click the 
(Options) icon in the Dashboard banner and choose Preferences. The Preferences dialog shows a list of all of the saved dashboards that are available. Select the perfect one and click Save.
That’s it!
