Customising the Home Screen

NOTE: This feature is not available in Starter Edition

ARDI allows you to customise the home screen of your ARDI installation.

This lets you guide users directly to the tools/visualisations/addons of interest to them, rather than dropping straight into the normal ARDI web interface.

You can do this two main ways…

The SingleVision addon is used to create a dynamic home page to your ARDI system that combines all of your different visualisations in one place.

You can discover more in the addon documentation.

The second way is to simply provide a custom HTML page.

Create a home folder in your site folder.

In that folder, create a file called index.html. This will be the web-page shown to users that arrive on the ARDI home screen.

This folder can contain HTML files, Javascript, CSS and images (basically, all of the normal files for a website) for your custom home page.

You can use this to guide users to specific tools, visualisations, reports etc. You can also use it to brand and identify your solution, if needed.

To access the normal ARDI environment, add start to the URL.

For example, going to https://demo.optrix.com.au/s/ex/ will take users to a custom home page, but https://demo.optrix.com.au/s/ex/start will take them to the normal ARDI web interface.

We normally suggest providing a discrete button/link on your custom home page to take people to the regular ARDI web interface.
