Hide Dashboard from online center

Is there any way we can hide Dashboard from the online center navigation? Or make CMS be the first selected?

Background is, customer do not use dashboard but always ends up there after logging in, having to click on CMS the first thing every time.

Hi Johan,

You could set the login URL to be /EPiServer/CMS/. That way they get into edit mode directly after login.

Cheers,

Tobias

The dashboard menu items is inserted straight from the dashboard controller so there is no simple way of configuring it out.

Personally I'd use the IIS URL Rewrite module and set a redirect up for /episerver to the edit mode URL. You can use this module on Digital Experience Cloud or if you are using IIS. The following rule should do the trick (assuming your Episerver URL is "episerver"):

<system.webServer>
  <!-- Other settings -->
  <rewrite>
    <rules>
      <rule name="Redirect Episerver dashboard URL with trailing slash to edit mode" enabled="true" patternSyntax="ExactMatch" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url="episerver/" />
        <action type="Redirect" url="/episerver/cms" redirectType="Found" />
      </rule>
      <rule name="Redirect Episerver dashboard URL without trailing slash to edit mode" enabled="true" patternSyntax="ExactMatch" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url="episerver" />
        <action type="Redirect" url="/episerver/cms" redirectType="Found" />
      </rule>
  </rules>
  </rewrite>
  <!-- Other settings -->
</system.webServer>
