The administrator can change both the welcome page and the main menu page individually for each user of the system, and can adapt Open ERP to each role in the company to best fit the needs of everyone. To make modifications for a particular user, edit the user configuration again in Administration → Users → Users . Open the form for a particular user, and select different menu entries for the two fields Home Action and Menu Action .

There you can choose any page that you would reach through any menu – one of the dashboards could be most useful. The Menu Action is the one you reach through the menu Form → Menu in the GTK client.

However, you should not change the main administrator’s menu because you could make certain menus completely inaccessible by mistake.
