Introducing Actuate Information Console : Getting started : Navigating
 
Navigating
After logging in to a volume using Information Console, you begin to navigate from one of the following pages:
*Documents, if you have no Home folder assigned
*A folder in Home assigned by an administrator for your use
*A default dashboard defined by an administrator
*A dashboard you last visited before quitting your previous session, if dashboards are enabled
The example in Figure 1‑5 shows the home folder assigned to a typical user.
