If you want to change the initial location then that you can do as follow.
Go to user profile,
Under General Preferences you can see "start location".
That you can change to set it to one of the four options available there.

Now as far as Company Home label is concerned if you want to change that I thing you need to customize the UINavigator class which is responsible for generating the breadcrumb.

thanks mitpatoliya
can you please look at the code of UINavigator and mention where to change.
Does it has anything to do with UIBreadcrumb.java?

Yes UIBreadcrumb is the class which is responsible for generating breadcrumb.
And It uses Navigation bean to get the value of current node and append the name of that node in to the path shown in the breadcrumb.
If you see the code of that Navigation bean there is method getLocation() from there You need to return the node of whatever space you want to show on startup.

no, mitpatoliya..
I just need to change the label "Company Home" and not the location.
It means the location remains same, and the label changes to "My Data".
the breadcrumb should be like..
My Data>Data Dictionary
instead of
Company Home>Data Dictionary

If you just want to change the label its very simple.
all the labels are fetched from the property file called webclient.properties
there you can find "company_home" label
you can either change the original value or override it to fetch from your property file.

Hi,
I also tried this some times back, but it is changing value in the left hand side and but not on the breadcrumb.

Murali is right!
I tried overriding properties file.
It does not change the label of the breadcrumb.
Any other suggestion, mitpatoliya?

Yes, I have noticed it in code.
Checkout Navigation bean class
Method : public void processToolbarLocation(String location, boolean navigate)
if (LOCATION_COMPANY.equals(location))

At this point they are passing companyhome node and its name
elements.add(new NavigationBreadcrumbHandler(companyHome.getNodeRef(), companyHome.getName()));

companyHome.getName() needs to be replaced with your name.

the label right below the breadcrumb.
You may see in the following image, in this, the corresponding label is "Content Rules".

In alfresco explorer, I want to change the same label "Company Home" to "My Data".

mitpatoliya — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 05:23:00 GMT

You mean to say you want to change that "Content Rules" to "My Data"?

when you login to the alfresco explorer, right below the bread crumb it says,
"Company Home
This view allows you to browse the items in this space.
The company root space"

I want to chnge this "Company home" to "My Data".

mitpatoliya — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 09:47:48 GMT

Ohhh, Ok that is nothing but the name of company home space.
If you go and edit name and title of company home it will be changed automatically.
