Changing Default Dashboard Layout for all users

[jackb]

What do you need to do to change the default dashboard configuration so that all users have the same admin given setup?

Thanks!

in web-client-config-custom.xml, for example try this to have 2 colums by default:

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Dashboards">
      <!– Dashboard layouts and available dashlets for the My Alfresco pages –>
      <dashboards>
         <layouts>
            <!– the mandatory "default" layout - will be used for all users initially –>
            <layout id="default" columns="2" column-length="4" image="/images/icons/layout_narrow_right_2column.gif"
                  label-id="layout_narrow_right_label" description-id="layout_narrow_right_desc"
                  jsp="/jsp/dashboards/layouts/narrow-right-2column.jsp" />
         </layouts>
            <layout id="narrow-right-2column" columns="1" column-length="5" image="/images/icons/layout_single_column.gif"
                  label-id="layout_single_label" description-id="layout_single_desc"
                  jsp="/jsp/dashboards/layouts/single-column.jsp" />
      </dashboards>
   </config>
