Customizing Your Home Screen

Your Home screen is a place where you can access your recent stories and visualizations as tiles. You can also add useful reminders such as personal notes.

When you start SAP Analytics Cloud, the Home screen displays tile-like widgets to help you get started working on your analytics tasks.
