    • Entry Point : select the checkbox

Using Multiple Home Pages

You can define more than one Home page, for different contexts. When there is more than one portal object with the Home perspective, the order in which the pages are displayed is determined by the value of the Sort Priority property. The lowest numeric value is displayed first, and so on. For more information, see Defining the Sort Sequence of Top-Level Navigation Nodes .

You can also assign different Home pages to different roles.
