Manage Home Page Actions

The My Actions carousel on the homepage is configurable, allowing institutions to give greater prominence to the tasks they deem most important. To work with the Actions, start by going to System admin > Notifications & Actions > Homepage actions. To re-order the Actions on the homepage, grab the handle, then drag and drop items in the preferred order. Several of the alerts are logic-driven and will not be displayed if they are not required or have already been completed.
