How to Set a Default Home for New Users

To configure a default home for new users, you define what appears the moment someone logs in for the first time — a welcome message and a set of apps that tell them where to start.

Why the first login decides adoption

A new user's first minute determines whether they come back tomorrow.

Landing on an empty screen with no instruction
No indication of which app applies to their role
Onboarding delivered verbally and then forgotten
Questions that could have been answered by the screen itself

What to put on the onboarding home

Block	What it does
Welcome message	A greeting and initial instructions for the new user
Start here	A selected set of apps guiding where to click first
Multiple blocks	Grouped by team or by first-steps sequence
Cover image	A visual appearing on the new user's home

How to configure it in Jestor

Customize your own home in Jestor to see the available blocks.
Add a welcome message block with the greeting and instructions.
Add a start-here block and select which apps should appear.
Add more than one of each if you want groups — by team, or by sequence.
Open the onboarding settings to set this arrangement as the default for new users.

Why choose Jestor for employee onboarding?

Jestor treats the home as onboarding for your own employees, not just as a landing page — which is why the configuration lives under onboarding rather than under general appearance.

Because multiple blocks are allowed, one home can guide several groups: an HR block, a marketing block, and a first-steps block, all on the same screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I write instructions on the home?

Yes, inside the welcome message block. See jestor.com.

Can I have more than one group of apps?

Yes, multiple blocks can be added.

Where is this configured?

Under the onboarding settings.
