Admin-assigned Homes let you configure the landing page experience in Trackunit Manager for different user roles. Instead of everyone seeing the same default layout, you can tailor widgets and layout to match the needs of Technicians, Fleet Managers, or other roles.
Only Admins can create and manage admin-assigned Homes. Other users will see the Home configured for their role — or the default Home if none is assigned.
Types of Homes
Default Home | Shown automatically to all users the first time they log in — until a custom Home is created.
Includes preselected widgets designed for common roles (e.g. Fleet Admins, Technicians).
Cannot be edited. It disappears once a custom Home (admin-assigned or personal) becomes active.
|
Admin-assigned Homes | Created by Admins and assigned to specific user roles.
Example:
An Admin builds a “Technician Home” with widgets relevant to Technicians and assigns it to all users with that role.
All users in that role see the same Home layout when logging in.
|
Personal Homes | Created by Admins or Fleet Admins for individual use.
Not shared with other users or roles.
Fully customizable to fit personal preferences
|
Create a new admin-assigned Home
Go to the Administration Page, and click on the Homes tab
Click Create Home in the top right corner.
Give the Home a name in the pop up window (up to 80 characters). Click Create to continue.
💡 Tip: Use clear, role-specific names like "Technician Home" or "Fleet Manager Default" to avoid confusion later.
Add and arrange widgets
In the top right corner of the Home, click on Add widget
Filter or search the widget list. Click on a widget to add it to the Home
Drag & drop widgets to arrange the layout
Use the filter icon on each widget to customize its view
Publish & assign
When your layout is ready, click Save and Publish
In the pop-up, select which user roles should see this Home
Confirm by clicking Save and Publish again
Once published, status changes to “Published” and users in those roles will see it on next login
Note: Only users with the user roles you assign to the Home will have access to the Home. If you later make changes, you have to publish the Home again for users to see the updates.
Managing existing Homes
In the Homes overview table, click the three-dot menu next to a Home
Actions include: Edit, Rename, Update assigned roles, Revert to Draft, Publish or Delete
Best Practices & Tips
Use clear, role-specific names (e.g. “Technician Home”, “Site Manager Home”) so it’s obvious which Home is for which user role.
Start in Draft mode to experiment before publishing.
Avoid overcrowding; focus on the most relevant widgets per role.
Whenever you make changes to a published Home, you must republish for those updates to take effect.
If you remove a Home (revert to draft or delete), users will fall back to default or personal Homes depending on configuration.
