Changing the Home Page Layout in Oracle Fusion Applications

Oracle Fusion Applications can provide three options for a home page layout: Newsfeed, Panel, and Banner. These are all set by the System Administrator.

News Feed Layout

Has the Analytics page section readily available.

Panel Layout

Banner Layout:

Has the Page Control dots to show the user's Infolets.

Changing the Home Page Layout

For you to change the Layouts or Appearance, the System Administrator would need to go into a "Sandbox" environment. Any changes applied to this Sandbox will only be visible to the user logged in and would need to be "Published" before all users in the system can see the changes. Do note that the Sandbox would only be available to the "System Administrator" Role. Below are the steps on how to change the Home Page Layout:

1. Log in to a User that has a "System Administrator" Role.
2. Go into a Sandbox by clicking on the Logged in User's name and click on "Manage Sandbox"
3. You can either create a new Sandbox or activate an existing Sandbox.
4. Click on the Navigator and select the "Appearance" menu
5. Select the desired Layout and click "Apply". Wait for it to take effect.
6. Click on the Home icon to navigate to the Welcome Springboard and see the applied home page layout.
7. You may now publish the Sandbox and the desired layout will now be applied to the production environment.
