The Homepage page in the General section of Looker's Admin menu lets admins configure a default homepage for their Looker instance. Looker admins can also set a homepage for a specific user or group with the landing_page user attribute.
Setting a default homepage for your instance
The homepage appears when users sign in to Looker or navigate to the homepage by clicking Home in the left navigation panel or by clicking the Looker logo. By default, the homepage for your instance is the pre-built Looker homepage, which displays a user's favorite content, that user's recently viewed content, and the recently viewed content at the organization. However, you can change this default to a URL within Looker.
The homepage options for your instance are available on the Homepage page under Set a default homepage for your organization:
Looker's pre-built homepage: The pre-built Looker homepage displays each user's favorite content, that user's recently viewed content, and the recently viewed content at the organization, all on one page. This is the default setting.
A URL within Looker: You can set the default homepage to a specific page within Looker (such as the Favorites page), a board, a folder, or a Markdown file (such as a README or document file in a project) by specifying a relative URL such as
/browse/boards/2. If you set the homepage in your instance to a specific page within Looker or to a board, the Home button in the left navigation panel updates to the name of the page or the board.
If you have configured group or user homepage settings with the landing_page user attribute, those settings will override the default homepage that you have chosen for your instance. Users with group or user homepages will still be able to access a link to the instance-wide default homepage from the left navigation.
Setting a homepage for a specific user or group
In addition to setting a homepage for your entire instance, you can configure homepage settings for specific users or groups with the landing_page user attribute.
You can assign a specific homepage to a user or to a group by setting the value of the landing_page user attribute to a relative URL within Looker. If you want to assign a specific homepage to multiple users, we recommend that you create a new group specifically for that homepage option.
Setting a homepage for a specific group overrides the default homepage for your instance for members of the group. Setting a user-specific homepage also overrides any group homepage settings as well as the default homepage.
