How to customize the Home screen to guide new users on their first login

Customizing the Home screen to guide new users on their first login means defining exactly what a person sees when they enter the system for the first time, with a welcome message and a selection of starter apps, without relying on someone to explain everything manually.

When a new employee enters the system with no guidance at all, they get lost: they don't know where to start, which apps to use first, or where to find what they need. That overloads the people already at the company, who end up having to personally explain everything every time someone new joins.

What companies are trying to solve:

Give a clear starting point for whoever is logging in for the first time.
Leave a welcome message with initial instructions.
Point out which apps the person should access first.
Have a custom cover, matching the company's look, instead of an empty screen.

If you're looking for a tool to guide new users right inside the company's own operating system, Jestor is a good option.

In Jestor, you can customize the Home screen specifically for new users, set up in the onboarding area. Two sections were designed for this moment: the initial message, which gives a welcome and a direct instruction, and "start here," where you define which apps the person should access first to find their way around. You can add more than one block of each type — for example, splitting by team or by first steps — plus set up a custom cover for that first experience. The same onboarding configuration also controls whether docs, templates, and the builder appear for newcomers.

Why choose Jestor
